Leak shows off the hole-punch display on the rumoured Galaxy S10

Serial gadget leaker Evan Blass took to Twitter again to share a look of the rumoured Galaxy S10. The phone features a camera cutout at the top-right corner of the screen with extremely thin bezels to the side, the bottom gets a slightly thicker chin than the rest of the phone. This “Infinity-O display” design was first seen in the Galaxy A8s, which Samsung revealed a few weeks back. It’s the first time Samsung has put any kind of interruption on the screen as the company has managed to stay notch-free for its flagships. Blass claims this is what the standard S10 is going to look like. He also mentions that this phone will be able to wirelessly charge other phones and watches, similar to what the Huawei Mate 20 Pro can do. Four Galaxy S10 models are expected to arrive at the end of February (when Samsung usually launches its S line of phones)—there’s supposedly going to be a Lite model, a Plus model, and a 5G one.

Bethesda settles lawsuit with Warner Bros. and Behaviour over ‘Westworld’ game

Bethesda Softworks has settled a lawsuit against Warner Bros. and developer Behaviour Interactive over a Westworld base-building game, which Bethesda alleges was a ripoff of its Fallout Shelter game. The company filed a lawsuit for copyright infringement, breach of contract, and unfair competition back in June 2018. Bethesda released a brief statement claiming they’ve reached an “amicable” agreement, but the company didn’t disclose the terms. The companies will bear the cost of attorney fees and the like and Bethesda dismissed its claims with prejudice, which means the same claims can’t be brought up again. Back in June, Bethesda accused Behaviour of using copyrighted code from Fallout Shelter to develop the Westworld game. That a bug found in the early version of Fallout Shelter, which Behaviour developed with Bethesda, was found in Westworld. But both Warner Bros. and Behaviour disputed this claim, saying the accusations were baseless.
