Samsung strongly hints at Galaxy Z Fold8, Z Fold8 Ultra, and Z Flip8 unveiling date

A couple of rumors so far have suggested that Samsung will hold its next big Unpacked event on July 22 in London, and now the company itself is strongly hinting at the fact that it is the correct date. Over in Malaysia, Samsung is offering its loyal fans an exclusive MYR 700 ($171) discount "on the purchase of their next Galaxy Foldable".

Commodore Callback 8020 goes on pre-order for a lower price

Commodore announced its $499 Callback 8020 flip phone a couple of weeks ago, and apparently people didn't like the price. So now the device has gone up for pre-order as promised, but it starts at $399. That's some magic trick - making the product 20% cheaper before even launching it. Part of this is explained by the fact that the $399 price includes "eco-validated" RAM and storage, which means they're "remanufactured", aka reused, aka recycled, whatever you want to call it. If you want your RAM and storage to be new, you need to pay an extra $50 and then you're up to $449. Anyway,...

Samsung ultimately refuses BOE panels for the Galaxy S27, new report says

Last month we heard that Samsung was in talks with China’s BOE for the supply of OLED panels for the upcoming Galaxy S27, and BOE's displays were allegedly $5 cheaper than what Samsung Display could supply. So it seemed pretty inevitable that BOE would get the deal and the vanilla S27 would ship with the Chinese panels. Well, not so fast. A plot twist has emerged today. Apparently Samsung has decided not to go with the BOE displays after all, and so Samsung Display was chosen to supply the OLED panels for the Galaxy S27. While a clear reason for this decision is not known, there's...

Comcast is spinning off NBCUniversal and Sky

Comcast is spinning off NBCUniversal and Sky into a new company. The split will leave Comcast with the cable, wireless, and business services, while the new company will handle the Universal theme parks, film and TV studios, NBC, Peacock, and Sky. This move practically undoes the 2011 acquisition of NBCUniversal by Comcast. So after 15 years of consolidation, it's now time for some de-consolidation. Interestingly, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts will remain "actively involved" in leading both companies after the split. Roberts, whose father Ralph founded the company in 1963, controls...

The upcoming M6 family of chips will skip the Pro and the Max variants in favor of expediting the M7 series. That means we will only see the base M6 chip running inside iPads and entry-level Macs.
