LG patent suggests a foldable phone is in the works

Image
We have been hearing about flexible and foldable smartphone displays for a few years now. But we've yet to a see a phone maker actually mass produce a smartphone display that's actually foldable. We've heard rumors of Samsung, Huawei and Motorola working on such smartphones but a newly published LG patent suggests that LG is aiming for the same foldable form factor. The patent was originally filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office in late-2017 and is described as a "mobile terminal" - a technical description of what a smartphone is.

Samsung Galaxy Note9 support sites go live

Image
Samsung's Galaxy Note9 has not yet been made official, but the phone maker has very well been preparing for its release set to take place in about a month's time. Support websites for a Samsung device with model number SM-N960F/DS have gone live for a few regions. The unlocked international model usually ends with an "F" while we can make a good guess that the "DS" is for the dualSIM variant.

Leaked image shows About screen on Xiaomi's upcoming Mi A2

Image
Xiaomi is taking its sweet time making the Mi A2 official, but that probably will happen soon. The phone is expected to use the exact same hardware as the already announced Mi 6X, with the only difference being that it will run stock Android, as part of the Android One program. That's similar to what happened last year with the Mi 5X and Mi A1. The Mi A2's About screen has leaked today in a live image showing the phone, and as you can see there are no traces of MIUI here.

AnTuTu lists the best-performing handsets in June 2018

The famous AnTuTu benchmark has posted its monthly report of top 10 best-performing smartphones and we see some new additions to the table. As expected, almost all of the phones in this table are Snapdragon 845-powered but since they are designed differently, have different thermal constraints and run various versions of Android, scores vary a little bit. The first place goes once again to Xiaomi's gaming Black Shark while the newly announced vivo NEX S comes in as close second. The rostrum is completed by the OnePlus 6 with marginally lower result.

Sygic is working on Apple CarPlay support with proper offline mode

Image
With iOS 12, Apple opened up CarPlay to third-party map software and Sygic is excited to jump on board. You can see a post on the company's blog from two years ago that explains why Sygic maps weren't on CarPlay or Android Auto. The reason, of course, was that Apple and Google allowed only certain apps to do navigation (and for Android Auto that is still true). Sygic has been working on support for CarPlay since the announcement was made at the WWDC and will give a progress update in the coming weeks. So, it may be a while before it launches.

Samsung Galaxy J7 Aero shows its Exynos 7885 and 2GB of RAM on Geekbench

The model name ties nicely with the rumored Samsung Galaxy J7 Aero that is expected to launch as a Verizon-exclusive in the US soon. What we learned from its scorecard on Geekbench is that it uses Samsung's Exyunos 7885 - found in the Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018), Galaxy A8+ (2018) and Galaxy J7 Duo - Android 8.0 Oreo and a lowly 2GB of RAM.

Almost two weeks have passed since President Trump signed an executive order to “address” immigrant children being taken from their parents at the U.S. border, but the impact of his action remains unclear.

Rescuers ponder how to extract trapped team from flooded Thai cave

Image
By Panu Wongcha-um and Patpicha Tanakasempipat CHIANG RAI, Thailand (Reuters) - Rescuers in Thailand were no closer on Thursday to deciding when and how to extract 12 boys and their soccer coach from a flooded cave complex, where they were found this week, pale and weak but otherwise in good health, after nine days lost underground. The dramatic search and rescue operation for the junior soccer team, who disappeared in the cave in the northern province of Chiang Rai on June 23, had seemed to be nearing an end when British and Thai divers found the boys late on Monday, clustered on a small, muddy bank in a flooded chamber. The navy has raised the possibility that the 13 could be in the Tham Luang cave in Chiang Rai province until the flood waters recede, at the end of the rainy season in four months. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2MRRbVZ via Latest News
