40 years ago, Nintendo launched its redesigned Famicom console in the US as the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The company went on to create more consoles over the decades, but the original NES has a special place in many hearts. Special enough for 8BitDo to release NES-themed products.

When the original HomePod was unveiled by Apple in 2018, it came with a few issues ranging from poor audio quality to staining surfaces the product was placed on.

A report by letsgodigital seems to hint that Samsung could be working on a smartphone with a pop-out flexible display, in order to provide a much more pleasant listening experience for the user. While not much is known in regards to the release date of the smartphone, it is safe to assume that the smartphone with the pop-out display will not be unveiled anytime soon.
