| It's August 11, 2022—On this day in 1950, Steve Wozniak was born. If you don't know the name, you should, because 26 years later he would go on to co-found Apple alongside Steve Jobs. | | | ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds | | | Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): | | 389 articles, 14 podcasts, 15 press releases, 590 tweets, and 19 YouTube videos | | | 1. Samsung's New Z-Series Phones Arrive August 26 | | Samsung's newest Z-Series phones are on the way. Both the Galaxy Z Flip4 and Z Fold4 sport refined designs and what Samsung claims will be a 45% more durable display, along with improvements to display options and camera capabilities. The catch? We have to wait for them to launch August 26. | | 2. LG Teases Ginormous 97-Inch OLED Display | | LG teased a massive 97-inch OLED TV yesterday, called the OLED.EX. Aside from its, uh, intimidating size, the TV is equipped with LG's CSO tech, so it can mimic a 5.1 channel audio system without the extra speakers. Hold on to your bank accounts, though, as it's expected to cost ~$25k. Yeah, we bet it will. | | 3. Urbanista's New Earbuds Love Sun as Much as You Do | | Urbanista has a new line of solar-powered wireless earbuds. These are technically the first of their kind, but with a caveat: it's actually the earbud's charging case that's solar-powered. Still, with active noise cancelling, touch controls, and 32 hours of playback on reserve, we're okay with a technicality. | | | Data: Counterpoint Research | | | Samsung's hold on the smartphone market isn't what it once was compared to, say, its performance in Q3 2021. At that time, it held 34% of the market, but hasn't broken 30% in the months since. Maybe the new Galaxy Z Flip4 and Z Fold4 will have a huge impact? That's probably what Samsung wants to see. | | | "That digital assistant looks like my uncle." —Kyree Leary, Associate News Editor | | | A screen for every surface! | | You're already using 2-3 monitors, but imagine if your desk was part display, too. If that idea excites you, you'll want to keep an eye on the Lumina Desk, a smart electric desk with built-in outlets, wireless charging surfaces, and an always-on display that can present info from a variety of apps. Very cool. | | | Fighting games are changing for the better | | The fighting game community hasn't always been the most inclusive group, but recent years have shown things are improving. Let Waypoint's Renata Price explain the changes through the addition of Guilty Gear Strive's newest character, Bridget. | | | |
