Samsung Delays Galaxy Fold Release


Samsung was on track to be the first major OEM to release a fully functional folding smartphone this month; however, not all has gone according to plan and the company has postponed the release of the device.

The Galaxy Fold was to be released on 26th April to users who had already pre-ordered the device, but as you might know already, the device has some major issues especially with its display.

A few reviewers/testers who managed to get their hands-on with Samsung's folding phone reported that the screen broke after they tried to peel off a layer from the screen which 'looked like a screen protector.'


Turns out the layer is a part of the display itself and isn't supposed to be peeled off; however, the reviewer units did not come with any warning to make them aware of the risk.

Some other testers also claimed that the screen broke even without peeling off the film from the screen which is even more concerning.

The South Korean giant released its initial statement surrounding the matter soon after the news broke of these issues in which the company reported that the release is still on track and they would investigate further to determine what caused the issue.


A fresh statement from the company now makes it clear that the Galaxy Fold would not be released just yet since Samsung had determined some of the causes for the issues and would begin working on making the device a tad more durable.

Samsung hasn't provided any release date hence we'd have to wait and see how the company could improve the major flaws within a few weeks or couple of months.

Oppo is on a smartphone release streak. The company has been launching new devices just about every second month. Its newest budget smartphone to launch is the Oppo Reno A which was launched today in Japan. The Reno A comes with a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a FullHD+ resolution. Powering the device is the tried and tested Snapdragon 710 processor coupled with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage . Oppo's budget-oriented device has a decent 3600mAh battery which should get you through a day of use on a single charge. What's even more interesting is that the device comes with an IP67 water and dust resistant rating. It's still rare to see budget smartphones to have an official Ingress Protection rating so kudos to Oppo. On the rear, we get dual rear cameras. The primary sensor is a 12MP wide-angle lens and paired with it is the 2MP depth sensor . To be honest, it would have been great if Oppo went with an ultra-wide-angle lens for the second camera. However, given...

Is The Google Pixel 4 Waterproof?

Google unveiled its flagship duo for the year, the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL . Both devices were heavily leaked before the launch and there isn't really anything new that surprised us. The Pixel 4 and 4 XL start at a price of  $799 and  $899 respectively and you might be wondering whether or not the Pixel 4 duo is waterproof. Well, you can ease your mind since the new flagship devices from Google indeed have an IP68 dust and water resistance rating. This means that the Pixel 4 duo should be able to survive being submerged under 1.5m of water for 30 minutes . Of course, it's worth noting that an Ingress Protection rating does not always guarantee that the device would always survive being submerged in water or exposed to dust. Nonetheless, while we weren't surprised by the specifications and features on the latest Pixel duo, what surprised is that the Pixel 4 duo would not be brought over to India. It seems Google has decided to skip one of the largest...
