Samsung is reportedly set to launch a Galaxy Z Flip 3 Lite alongside the Galaxy Flip Z 3 5G and Galaxy Z Fold 3 this August, and if foldables have been too expensive for you to consider in the past, this may be the model that changes that.
However, it's still not certain the phone will definitely launch. It's been reported that the phones will arrive at an event on August 11.
Samsung previously committed to driving down the price of foldable smartphones in 2021 to make them more accessible, and a "Lite" version may help fulfill this promise. In 2020, Samsung President TM Roh wrote: "True to our heritage of staying ahead of the curve with trailblazing mobile tech, we'll be expanding our portfolio of foldables so this groundbreaking category is more accessible to everyone."

"If you want to feel that you are part of a movement for a better future, these are the headphones you want."
That's quite the introduction for a pair of headphones, but the statement only emphasizes how much importance Gustaf Rosell, chief product and innovation Officer at Zound Industries, places on the forthcoming Adidas RPT-02 SOL headphones. Currently in development, they are part of Adidas' strong, continued sustainability effort, as they will be powered by light to tantalizingly deliver an "eternal playtime."
In conversation with Digital Trends, Rosell gave us exclusive insights into this exciting product.
"Virtually eternal playtime is possible if [the headphones] are exposed to light continuously," he explains, "and not necessarily outdoors, even if that really helps. With 80 hours of playtime, there is definitely backup enough for the occasions when light is low. For long-haul flights, it should [hold charge] if it has been in the light regularly, but for just those occasions, charging by USB Type-C cable before or on board is always an option." |

For the first time ever, aerospace startup Rocket Lab gave the world a glimpse of Rosie: a robot designed to prepare a rocket for production in just 12 hours.
The company, which competes with the likes of SpaceX and Virgin Orbit to launch small satellites into low Earth orbit, posted a video on Twitter this week showing Rosie hard at work.
According to Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck, the "absolutely massive" robot — it takes up an entire room — processes the carbon composite components of the company's workhorse Electron rocket in preparation for the next stage of production. |

TIPS, TRICKS, & TECHNIQUES |
Ask anyone which they prefer in the "Android vs. iOS" battle, and the answer is likely to be a passionate one. That's for a good reason, of course, since both platforms have a lot to offer supporters, and crucially, don't always get the same apps, games, and features. Android, however, has a particularly large feather in its cap: The ability to stream and play Xbox games through the internet, with no console required.
Android users, with a little help from a handy Bluetooth controller, are able to play Xbox games through the wonders of cloud gaming. The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and Note 20 got early access to the service, and with their large screens and powerful hardware, they're a perfect fit for the cloud gaming experience. But they're not the only Android devices that can play Xbox games. Here's how you can play Xbox games on your Android smartphone. |
