Though foldable phones have been part of the smartphone market since 2019 — the year the original Galaxy Z Fold made its debut — they remain something of a niche product. Samsung is hoping to change that. The latest models improve upon their predecessors, as our Galaxy Z Fold 4 review and Galaxy Z Flip 4 review both detail. And even before the phone’s launch this month, TM Roh, Samsung’s president and head of its mobility business, declared that foldable devices were going to enjoy a mainstream moment....

When we tested and reviewed the Galaxy Z Fold 4, we found highs and lows that were similar to those of the previous Z Folds. So, we’re hoping that this time is different. Samsung should change up the formula a little more, and really refine its larger foldable as the premium productivity machine that it’s meant to be. The rumors so far show promising signs of this actually happening, but some of the key issues with the Z Fold, and foldables in general, seem like they could stick around....

The patent, entitled “Electronic apparatus comprising transparent display (opens in new tab)”, was filed back in January, but published this week. Like the Nubia X from Chinese company ZTE, the patent shows a phone with a second screen on the rear of the device. Unlike the Nubia, this screen is both smaller and transparent, meaning it hides in plain sight when not in use. It can, as the patent explains, “visually expose an inner region (eg, a color or a pattern implemented in the exterior of the electronic device)” or “be selectively activated to provide various types of visual effects....

That’s why a lot of us get stuck between the two when it comes to choosing a new vacuum cleaner. To help you decide, we’ve pulled together this helpful guide which will break down all of the differences between these competitors. We will consider the pros and cons of each as well as what you can reasonably expect in terms of performance. That way, you will know for certain: Which is better for you, Shark vs Dyson?...

As with all medical advice, you should check with your own doctor if you’re concerned about your health before returning to exercise, as Dr Karmakar cannot offer individual advice based on your symptoms. Should you exercise when you’re sick? According to Dr Karmakar, “Exercise might be the last thing you feel up to when you have a cold, and rest is an important part of supportive therapy for viral infections....

Update: As of Dec. 21 this Sony deal is still in stock. We love these earbuds and our Sony WF-1000XM4 review proves it. The first thing you’ll notice about the XM4’s is their beautiful design (a major departure from the XM3), but there’s beauty under the hood too with “elite sound, noise cancellation, and awesome features.” Sony has been in the audio game for decades and it shows in the sound of these buds....

Southampton has had a rocky start to the 2022/23 Premier League season. The first three games saw them come away with a loss to Tottenham, a draw against Leeds and a win over Leicester, none of which were shocking results. Since a shocking home win against Chelsea though, The Saints have had a dreadful run of form until winning against Bournemouth earlier this week. Hopefully, that will quell the rumors that manager Ralph Hasenhuttl could be the next EPL manager fired....

Both of these sides enjoyed poor starts to the new Premier League season that have improved in the past week. Manchester United picked up their first win (and first points) with a 2-1 victory over Liverpool last weekend — an impressive turnaround on their previous two games, which saw them lose to Brighton and Brentford. That suggests Erik ten Hag’s revolution is starting to gain pace, and the team should also be buoyed by the arrival of new £70m signing Casemiro, who is on the bench today....

“We don’t think people should be locked into a certain direction or a certain set of software that they can install,” Valve’s Lawrence Yang told IGN (opens in new tab) last year. “If you buy a Steam Deck, it’s a PC. You can install whatever you want on it, you can attach any peripherals you want to it.” Now, two weeks after early adopters got their eager hands on the Steam Deck, Valve has kept its word by releasing Windows-friendly drivers for the handheld’s GPU, WiFi and Bluetooth (opens in new tab), meaning you can ditch the default SteamOS and start exploring....

That said, we need to talk about all the stories headed into the finale. The She-Hulk series has us rooting hard for Ms. Walters, and it’s got a lot of loose ends to tie up and thematic stories to conclude (or at least hit pause on). So, before you even think about the upcoming Marvel movies and shows after She-Hulk, let’s look closely at what the show’s finale should deliver....

Sure, while iPhones are among the best phones around, with the iPhone 14 range already possessing stellar photographic abilities and the iPhone 13 not far behind it, neither have a dedicated macro or fisheye lens. And yes, the latest iPhone models have a Cinematic Mode — but an Anamorphic lens can provide an even more film-like look. Want to go long with your shots? The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max both have a 3x telephoto lens, but one of the best iPhone lens kits could increase their range further....

In fact, all the Samsung Galaxy Watch models can do those things, but some models do it better than others. Some look better than others, too. Samsung has made five iterations of its smartwatch with a few design variations: the latest flagships are the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, though you can often buy older models like the Galaxy Watch 4, Galaxy Watch 3 and Galaxy Watch Active 2 at a discount....

The issue is that as TVs get thinner, the built-in speakers often have to shrink to fit inside the tiniest of cabinet spaces, and the sound lacks the kind of impact to match today’s big screens. There’s plenty of sophisticated digital signal processing (DSP) tech onboard to help get the best TV sound output possible, but even the best TVs aren’t exempt from sounding thin and weedy. We spend hours testing all of the top soundbars, judging them based on sound quality, volume, design, ease of use and surround sound (if offered)....

Fear not, because we’ve trawled through all 109 Netflix additions for January 2022 to bring you the one new show we’d recommend watching. And just in case that’s not to your taste, we’ve added a couple of back up options from very different genres. So read on for our top new Netflix show this month — and if you’re not just looking for recent additions, head over to our list of the 63 best shows on Netflix right now....

But here, I want to sing the praises of the unsung hero of this still-young console generation: the Xbox Series S. I love the little guy. And although I’d struggle to recommend it as the sole means of playing games, I’m increasingly of the opinion that it’s the perfect secondary console for gaming fans. Firstly, it’s the very definition of cheap and cheerful. As Black Friday and Cyber Monday shoppers will know, you can pick up an Xbox Series S for as little as $240 (opens in new tab) in the U....

Fortunately, an army of TV critics is paid to sort the wheat from the chaff on your behalf, and Rotten Tomatoes does a good job of digesting this. Reviews are collected and sorted into either ‘Fresh’ (good) or ‘Rotten’ (bad), giving you a snapshot of critical opinion. If it’s 80% fresh or higher, the show is widely liked, and you’re on steady ground. As one of the best streaming services, HBO Max is lucky enough to have a number of programs that eclipse even that....

As part of the Google Pixel 7 Pro’s formidable camera array, you now have access to a Macro Focus mode to help you capture objects very near to the camera. It’s similar to features that other leading smartphones offer, but with Google’s excellent photography processing on side, you’ll likely beat anyone else trying to take the same kind of extreme close-ups. Below we’ve got a guide on how to use Macro Focus, and some settings to mess with if you feel confident or just want to turn the feature off....

For a minimum donation of $40, Humble will give you 123 games, ebooks and other pieces of software worth $2,572 in the most generous bundle that we can remember. If you can afford to give more, you certainly should, not just because it’s an extremely worthy cause (with 100% of the funds raised going to Razom for Ukraine, International Rescue Committee, International Medical Corp and Direct Relief), but because the software on offer is truly top tier....
