The company has filed for a trademark application in the UK for "protective and decorative films adapted for smartphones." It doesn't confirm an actual product, but it does give us an idea of what Samsung might be planning. Right now, the space is mainly occupied by companies like Dbrand. But it looks like Samsung wants a piece of that. A skin would be another way to customize phones, which it has been doing with things like its Bespoke Edition devices.

As gas prices continue to spike due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Uber has announced it'll be adding a fuel surcharge to rides and deliveries to assist its drivers and couriers. The drivers and delivery people will get 100% of the surcharge. According to Uber Canada's blog post, "Beginning Wednesday, March 16, rideshare riders will pay a $0.50 surcharge on every ride and, on Uber Eats where trips are shorter, consumer fees will be adjusted to cover the equivalent of a $0.35 surcharge on every delivery."

If you've been waiting for the next-generation remake of EA's Dead Space, you're in luck, sort of. The developer has given an "arrival window" for the survival horror hit of "early 2023." The remake was first announced in July, but EA didn't share when it might be released. We know that the game was going to be "rebuilt from the ground up" by developer Motive. They are the team known for developing Star Wars: Squadrons. This Dead Space remake is expected to be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
