Lenovo teases bendable phone - again

-
...

Not content to let others have all the fun in October, Lenovo has decided to tease an announcement of its own, showing off a flexible phone. If you feel like you've heard this story before, it's probably because you have; Lenovo introduced us to a bendable wrist-phone in 2016. That concept device never made it to market so the latest news might seem like a similar PR stunt.

VIDEO

In a video originally posted to the company's Weibo account, what seems to be a working, bendable phone is briefly demoed. The device continues to scroll and allow touch input as it is folded into roughly an 80-degree angle. A couple of dark spots are seen on the screen. While they could simply be a result of demonstration abuse, one spot is clearly centered directly on the bend.

Lenovo's post on Weibo showing the flexible phone.

The translated post reads "Let's see you in October," with no mention of a particular date. There's also the mention of something about a fork and being "very bad," which I'm chalking up to a translation error. Abacus News has a more accurate conversion: "We are just so terribly good. It's time to show off."

Expand the reach of your network with a $100 Google Wifi router

-
Image
Google sells its mesh Wi-Fi system in one and three packs by default, though you can customize the systems to meet the needs of your home pretty easily. The single router normally sells for $129, and the 3-pack has settled down at around $280 recently. We tend to see various discounts on the 3-pack that bring it down to around the $260 mark, but the single unit tends to just sit around full retail price, or just drop by a few bucks. If you don't have a large home or want to expand your current setup of Google Wifi routers, today's the day to do it. Amazon has the single Google Wifi router on sale for $99.94, which is $30 off the regular price. When comparing it to other wireless routers out there feature wise, this price is extremely competitive, except it offers a few things that some other systems won't. Setting up a Google Wifi system is insanely easy, and everything can be done and managed right from your phone. Once set up, Google will keep it up to d...

The best, worst, and weirdest cars at the 2018 New York Auto Show

-

The New York International Auto Show opens to the public this weekend, and upon entering the Javits Center attendees will be bombarded with new cars, SUVs, trucks and even a handful of supercars that will most likely be out their price range. Here's our primer for anyone who wants to cut through the noise and see the stuff that really matters. Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Most Futurama-ready car: Genesis Essentia Anyone who grew up on dog-eared copies of Popular Science probably assumed we'd be riding around in self-driving cars while viewing the passing scenery through glass or plastic bubble roofs. The self-driving car part is playing out right now, but the glass or plastic bubble part seems to have been left in the recycling bin. Now, here's the Genesis Essentia , an all-electric performance concept with a transparent hood and...

DJI Mavic Air: could this be the definitive drone?

-
Image
DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website  and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK). Often, one battery is not enough so there is a more complete pack available with three batteries, charger for four batteries and two propeller replacements from $999 (£949 in the UK). The red model reminds me of a Porsche. / © AndroidPIT Design and build quality In essence, it is th...
