Samsung trademarks "UTG", could mean Ultra Thin Glass for Z Flip and future Samsung foldables

Foldable smartphones are certainly gaining a lot of attention as the new form factor challenges smartphone design as we know it. While we saw foldable smartphones and displays over the last year or so, they were all made with fragile plastic lenses atop the display panels. These are very easy to scratch and can easily cause damage to an otherwise expensive device. Rumors suggested that Samsung's upcoming Z Flip smartphone will use a new ultra-thin type of glass.

FCC writes letter to Congress finding that "one or more" US carriers sold customer location data

Over a year and a half ago, each of the four major US carriers was in some way involved with an incident that revealed how carriers were selling location data of its subscribers to whoever wanted to pay for them. It involved a couple of "middle men" companies who could eventually sell location data to whoever wanted to buy it. It eventually involved Securus, a prison company that used carrier information to track phones without owners' permission.

HMD Global has just started sending out invites for its MWC event in Barcelona, which is taking place on February 23 at 4:30pm local time (registration starts half an hour earlier, as depicted on the invite seen below). The company unsurprisingly isn't telling us what to expect specifically, but recent reports have made it clear that a new true Nokia flagship will only arrive later in the year.

The Wuhan Coronavirus to affect the Galaxy S20 accessories supply chain

It seems that the widespread Wuhan Coronavirus will affect a number of supply chains, including the one for the Samsung Galaxy S20 lineup's accessories. So customers seeking accessories such as cases and screen protectors at launch won't find anything for their brand new phones.

Moto G Stylus is what Motorola is calling that recently leaked stylus-carrying phone

Motorola's G series is its most successful ever, and over the past few years has been what's kept the manufacturer going. While the company is expected to soon reveal its first true flagship smartphone in years, the Edge+, it's also getting ready to expand the G family even more. Remember that recently leaked stylus-toting Motorola device?

EU allows Huawei to deploy 5G technology if it follows a set of guidelines

Huawei Mate 30 Pro bends in durability test, but does not break

The Huawei Mate 30 Pro has one of the best mobile cameras that you can't have. And if this video by JerryRigEverything is any indication, the Mate 30 Pro is one of the best-built phones that you can't have. A signature feature of the design is the Horizon display, which wraps around the sides of the phone. It's an eye-catching design, though does the extra curviness of Gorilla Glass 6 make it more fragile? Not really, as it turns out. Though admittedly this seems to have more to do with the rigid frame that Huawei designed.
