Samsung foldable phone doesn’t sound strange to us. We’ve heard about it so many times before but we haven’t known how it will look like. Now, we have a chance to see this handset. 

This is how Samsung foldable phone will be

Samsung is one of the smartphone giants in the market. This brand always brings the creative innovations to their product. They are the first brand to produce the first big phone (more than 5.0-inch) to the market. They are the first brand to equip Super AMOLED display into the products and the first one to release dual curved edge display handsets. Samsung also came up with the “crazy” idea of making the foldable phone in 2015.

We have been waiting for a long time to see this foldable device. Now, we have a chance to see this phone thanks to the patent application. Or what it looks like to be more specific. What makes this phone interesting is that is will be a flip phone when you fold it. However, the two parts of the device won’t be parallel. When the phone is not folded, it’s a huge display phone.

On the front of this foldable phone, you can easily see the signature of Samsung with the home button. The back button is one the right and the menu button is on the left. The ratio of the display is estimated to be about 21:9. This new device will come to the market under the name of Samsung Galaxy X.

Foldable phone: awaited device

Samsung is not the first brand to come up with a foldable phone project. LG or Lenovo used to introduce the similar one before. However, this Korean giant is the forerunner in smartphone technology. So, Samsung could be the one turning this idea into reality first. This phone could help Samsung gain back their sales after the loss from Galaxy Note 7. Just keep your eye on Samsung to see what they will bring us!. We’ll keep updating.

After Note 7, Galaxy S7 Edge, now another Samsung Galaxy phone exploded. This time, it happened in France. Galaxy J5 caught fire and its back fell off.  

Samsung Galaxy J5: caught fire in France

2016 is definitely not a good year for Samsung. The company has gotten into many explosion incidents this year, from washing machine to smartphones. The biggest scandal of this company is Note 7. There were a lot of exploding Note 7 incidents in the global market. This product continued to explode even after Samsung recalled and fixed them. This made the company have to recall all Note 7 for the second time.

Not so long after that, another flagship of this giant exploded- Galaxy S7 Edge. Now, another device of the brand exploded in France- Galaxy J5. On last Sunday, a woman in France reported that her Galaxy J5 exploded for nothing. There wasn’t any external cause for this explosion. And she bought this J5 on a website with a discounted price.

It happened when she told her little son gave the phone to her. She recognized that the handset was very hot and there was smoke. Like a reflex, she immediately threw it away. After that, the handset was on fire and the rear panel of the phone fell off. Fortunately, no one got hurt. This French woman said that she will sue Samsung for this.

Galaxy S8: the hope for Samsung

So, there was another Samsung smartphone explosion. This J5 case could be the rare case like Galaxy S7 Edge. No matter what, this incident will affect Samsung’s reputation. The company hasn’t taken back their customer’s faith since the Note 7 incidents and now they got involved in this Samsung Galaxy J5. Hopefully, with the “Note 7 exchange for S8” policy, Samsung will partly get back their customers. Galaxy S8 next year will be the safe masterpiece of this giant. Let’s wait and see what Samsung will bring us.

This game has become a pleasant surprise in recent years. Square Enix, the developer behind Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts series, among the best JRPGs, made this game and achieved quite the success with it. The game has almost everything Square does best: deep and brilliant storyline (although it can be awkward at times), great visuals, and amazing soundtracks. This game is certainly one worth trying out!

After the latest launch of Meizu M5, the company has been spotted on Weibo with a set of images. The post seems to hint a new mysterious Meizu smartphone, and it’s is borderless…

Mysterious Meizu phone: the first bezelless phone from Meizu

The competitor of Meizu, Xiaomi has just released the Mi Mix recently. The handset is stunningly beautiful with borderless display and a sleek look.  The highlighted features of Xiaomi Mix Mix is a huge screen, with 6.4-inch in size and round-edge surface. On the backside, you’ll find a 16MP main camera, with basic technologies such as PDAF, LED-flash. The phone houses a 4400 mAH battery, supported by Quick Charge 3.0 technology.

To respond that, Meizu immediately posted a set of images implicating a new mysterious phone is coming. And the special thing of this smartphone is that it is borderless and quite narrow. We can also see a fingerprint sensor symbol on the bottom of the front screen. Although those images seems to be a render rather than a real image of a smartphone, it still makes fans very excited and thrilled. Bezelless phone is becoming the trend and Meizu is trying to catch up with.

There’s no specs leak about this mysterious handset. However, based on the predecessor Meizu Pro 6s, we expect that the next flagship of Meizu will pack a 4GB RAM or 6GB RAM, along with 32GB or 64GB in terms of internal storage. It would be great if we can expand the inbuilt storage. Because it is considered as a fierce opponent against Xiaomi Mi Mix, it might come with a huge inch, maybe over 6 inch display.

Mysterious Meizu phone: expected launching date

According to the information leaked on Weibo, the mystery will be unveiled on December 24th this year. Before any official information from the company, just stayed tune! We’ll keep you updated.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare has just been released recently, along with a lot of hype for it. However, the initial Infinite Warfare sales result has not seemed to look good for the publisher.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare sales reach only half of Black Ops 3!

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare was one of the most anticipated games for the holiday. When it was launched on November 4, there was a lot of hype surrounding the game. However, there have been less than desirable reviews for the game so far. Nothing too negative about the game, as the game itself is considered good, but the general consensus is that, the game has not managed to distinguished itself from other releases this year. For your information, before the release of this game, there was Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2.

For the past week, the new Call of Duty has topped the UK charts for sales. However, the launch sales has greatly decreased, by 48.4%, compared to last year’s series installment, Black Ops 3, according to GFK Chart-Track. Even if taking we take out the PS3 and Xbox 360, which Infinite Warfare is not released on, and Black Ops 3 was, sales still declined by 43.6%. Still, it is worth noting that this game’s launch is the second biggest, just after FIFA 2017. It is quite a feat, considering the game is released after two games of the same genre – Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2.

Owners of Infinite Warfare are also eligible to receive the Modern Warfare Remastered edition. Developer Raven Software seems to have a very humorous mind, as they put in sort of a throwback to a known glitch in the game back in the original game in 2007. As in the picture above, a wet floor sign now stands at the place where players could skip outside of the map before, and reach a mounted machine gun. Good old glitch!

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare sales – Still good despite setbacks!

Overall, despite decreased in figures, the Infinite Warfare sales number is still considered quite good, considering the end of the year was packed with big releases, especially November. Hopefully in the coming months, sales will look much better.

For photography, there are reports that Nokia Swan will carry a massive 42MP PureView camera on the back. Its front snapper has not been mentioned in any articles yet. Meanwhile, Xiaomi Mi Mix carries a 16MP rear camera with  phase detection autofocus and dual-LED (dual tone) flash. For selfie shooter, it features a 5MP.
