The Samsung Galaxy Fold was ready for a star-studded launch, but issues discovered in early review units caused Samsung to recall them and postpone the launch. The company was supposed to announce a new release date after evaluating the issues, but now the launch of its first foldable phone has been delayed indefinitely. Samsung sent out emails to those who pre-ordered the Galaxy Fold, saying that it's "making progress" and will release updated shipping info "in the coming weeks".

Leaks about the Honor 20 Pro showed the first periscope zoom lens in the family (following in the footsteps of the sibling Huawei phones). The latest leak, however, pours cold water on our expectations (as far as zoom is concerned, anyway). The camera does have a unique feature, though. Gone is the telltale square lens seen in the renders. Instead, there's a traditional 8MP camera with 3x optical zoom and OIS. The rumored IMX600 sensor for the main camera is out too, it seems, replaced by the familiar 48-megapixel IMX586 (also optically-stabilized), which was used on the Honor View 20.... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2H6lRTp via IFTTT

The Oppo Reno 10x zoom was announced with "only" 20x digital zoom capability, but the company is preparing an update that will triple the range - up to 60x zoom! Check out the video below for a quick demo of what's to come. This update will be rolled out in Taiwan first. This requires a bit of explanation. The phone comes with a periscope zoom lens that goes up to 130mm focal length - 5x zoom in relation to the main camera. Then there's the hybrid zoom mode that can go up to 10x (hence the phone's name). This is followed by a digital zoom, currently capped at 20x.

Xiaomi has locked out the Top 3 spots in AnTuTu's ranking of fastest Android phones for April. The Xiaomi Mi 9 Explorer is in the lead, followed by the vanilla Mi 9 and the Black Shark 2 gaming phone. All Snapdragon 855-powered phones, in case it wasn't clear. This displaced the Meizu 16s, which held the top spot last month. Note that the chart below doesn't include the ZTE Axon 10 Pro 5G, which posted a score in the 380,000 range (yet another S855 phone, but the score was boosted by the use of the F2FS file system).

Israel and Gaza Strip militants reached a truce after the most intense round of fighting since their 2014 war, and life on both sides of the border returned to normal Monday.

The crash-landing on Sunday is the latest serious setback for the plane, the first new passenger jet developed in Russia since the fall of the Soviet Union, and threatens to undermine confidence in an airliner Moscow touts as proof it can produce its own high quality civil passenger aircraft. In a blow to the Russian aviation industry, regional carrier Yamal Airlines, the country's second biggest operator of the Superjet after Aeroflot, said on Monday it was cancelling its planned purchase of 10 of the planes, the TASS news agency reported. Investigators have started trying to piece together why the Aeroflot jet, which had been flying from Moscow to the northern Russian city of Murmansk on Sunday, was forced to make an emergency landing and why that landing went so badly wrong. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://yhoo.it/2LnEl5H via Latest News

Tatyana Makeyeva/ReutersJeremy Brooks, a 22-year-old fishing guide from Santa Fe, New Mexico, had recently scored a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: a job at a Russian fishing lodge. Brooks, who picked up his first fly-fishing rod when he was just 7 years old, prepared diligently for the coveted position. He spent a month in Washington State learning to cast with a new rod he bought specifically for the job, his best friend, Marco Rossetti, told the Santa Fe New Mexican. But soon after arriving in Russia, Brooks’ dreams were cut short: On Monday, family and friends identified him as the sole American who died when a Russian plane crashed and burned on a Moscow runway Sunday evening.  “He was always so positive, just a kind soul,” his friend and former boss, Ivan Valdez, said, according to the New Mexican. “He had a kindness about him that just everyone was attached to and loved.”Valdez, who hired Brooks to work at his fly-fishing shop and guide service when he was just 16, added: “He’s

Turkey’s plans to purchase the Russian S-400 missile system marked a major shift in Ankara’s defense orientation, eliciting a sharp response from Washington. Nonetheless, the S-400 deal barely scratches the surface of the blooming Turkey-Russia defense relationship and the threat that it poses to NATO’s military coherence.The Kremlin and Rosoboronexport-- Russia’s state arms exporting agency—are seeking to capitalize on the political goodwill from the S-400 sale with several other high-profile contracts, including Russian jet fighters and next-generation missile defense system. When the US defense department suspended F-35 transfers to Ankara “pending an unequivocal Turkish decision to forego delivery of the S-400” early last month, Russian and western defense commentators speculated that Russia would pounce with a snap Su-35 offer. It now appears, however, that Moscow has its sights set on a bigger deal. In an interview given to Turkish state media, Rostec chief Sergei Chemezov sugges

It seems that robocallers have have begun to evolve a bit, as media coverage brings increased scrutiny and potential regulatory action in response to their practices. Now that consumers are starting to get wise to the barrage of robocalls and the myriad spam calls that flood their phones on the daily, robocallers have increasingly found themselves less able to trick unsuspecting consumers into actually answering their phones and engaging with them. Which is why they've moved on to a new strategy -- the one-ring call.It's a significant enough move on their part that the Federal Communications Commission has already decided to issue a warning to consumers about this new tactic, hoping you'll be able to avoid it. So what is it, exactly?Just like the name implies, the idea is for the robocaller to let the phone ring just once. Hoping that you'll have heard it, and your curiosity will overtake you enough to want to call back and ask whether someone just called you from this

The last thing the world needs is more of Robert Mueller’s commentary, but Congress is determined to have him hold forth at a public hearing.It’s not as though we don’t already have the special counsel’s version of events. He mustered enormous investigate resources and took two years to write a 400-page report that is available to the public and presumably carefully written (although not necessarily carefully thought through).That should be enough for Mueller to stand on, and enough for Congress to make a decision to impeach or not impeach, or otherwise dispose of the matter as it sees fit.Instead, Mueller is going to be asked to expand on his already-expansive report that not only blew through Justice Department regulations, but inverted the long-standing burden of proof in the Anglo-American legal tradition.As a prosecutor, Mueller’s job — his sole job, really — was to decide whether or not the president was guilty of a crime. He declined to do this, choosing instead to write a nearl

The US has deployed an aircraft carrier to the Middle East following “troubling and escalatory indications” that forces in Iran were preparing an attack on US forces in the region, according to a White House official.National security advisor John Bolton said on Sunday the decision was intended to “send a clear and unmistakable message” that any attack on US interests would be met with “unrelenting force”.The deployment was approved after reports that US forces at sea and on land were potential targets, according to a defence official who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity.“The United States is not seeking war with the Iranian regime, but we are fully prepared to respond to any attack, whether by proxy, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or regular Iranian forces,” Mr Bolton said.The USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force have been sent to the US Central Command region, which include the Middle East.Mr Bolton did not provide details on
