Leaked Samsung video shows foldable phone, other futuristic gadgets

TwitterFacebook

The mother of all Samsung leaks just hit the internet in form of an official teaser video for upcoming devices. The video, uploaded by Samsung Vietnam according to XDA Developers, shows a foldable phone, a bezel-less, notch-less phone, and a new tablet — among other gadgets.

The original video was quickly removed but it was re-uploaded by SlashLeaks; check it out below.  Read more...

Apple's apology tour continues.

The tech giant has issued an official statement apologizing for the major Group FaceTime bug that allowed a caller to hear a person's audio before they even picked up the call. 

In a statement sent to Mashable, Apple says it has fixed the significant security bug after it had  moved quickly to disable Group FaceTime after the bug was discovered. Apple says it'll release a software update next week to address the flaw.

On top of thanking the Thompson family for originally reporting the bug (although, it was not addressed in a timely manner before it went public), Apple has pledged to "improving the process by which we receive and escalate these reports, in order to get them to the right people as fast as possible."

Huawei teases foldable phone in new invite

TwitterFacebook

Huawei's foldable phone is coming in about three weeks. 

This is according to a new teaser for a company event on Feb 24, ahead of the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona. 

The image and the tweet don't reveal much, but the image clearly shows a foldable device of some sort. Given previous indications that Huawei plans to launch a foldable phone (though the plan to launch before Samsung likely won't materialize), the hint is clear enough.
