Huawei's debuts $2,600 foldable Mate X, hits new smartphone price record
Huawei has become the latest mainstream smartphone producer to reveal a folding smartphone, but the $2,600 Mate X takes a different approach from Samsung's recently-launched Galaxy Fold by putting the screen on the outside of the bend, rather than inside. Revealed at Mobile World Congress, the Huawei Mate X is billed as a 5G-supporting foldable smartphone. Such a move is also risky from a usability standpoint, as it means the screen is not as protected from other items, such as keys in a pocket, unlike the inward screen design.The 2-in-1 device is quite thin by modern smartphone standards, measuring 5.4 millimeters at its slimmest point when unfolded. Rumors have also suggested that Apple has worked with LG on one such concept, with the two reportedly collaborating on a flexible OLED display that could be used in such a device.Outside of rumors, patents and applications also serve as evidence of Apple's work in the field. It has numerous such filings relating to flexible displays wrap-around displays , and hinged devices , as well as supporting ideas such as stretchy substrates for connecting components together, and how to enable force gesture controls on flexible devices.LG's new smartphone unlocks by recognizing the veins in your palms — here's how it works
as declared in Indeed, the LG G8 uses the veins in the palms of your hands to unlock the phone, which the company calls "Hand ID." It's a novel method, but it's the same idea as advanced facial recognition. To detect and recognize your veins, the LG G8 has what LG calls a "Z" camera that detects a users' veins with infrared light. There's also a 3D sensing "time of flight" (ToF) camera on the front of the LG G8 that detects the shape, thickness, and other individual characteristics of a user's palms. I'll be testing LG's Hand ID as I have more time with the LG G8.Samsung introduces new smartphone they hope consumers will flip for
