Today, Chinese mobile maker Oppo today unveiled its solution to the "word's first" Under-Screen Camera. According to Oppo, the selfie camera is embedded under a section of the display that's made of a highly transparent custom material with a special pixel structure, which enables light to pass through to the lens. The company has already admitted that putting a camera under the screen will make it harder to match the quality of an unobstructed smartphone camera. To compensate, Oppo said it has developed software algorithms that address haze, glare, and color cast issues, resulting in pictures that are "on par with mainstream devices." The selfie camera is also said to be larger than other front-facing cameras, featuring a wider aperture lens.

Google just officially tweeted an image of the Pixel 4, a smartphone that the company isn’t expected to announce until October. The image shows at least two rear cameras and a third sensor of some kind in a large camera bump on the phone’s back. There’s also another tiny dot at the lower right of the camera module, which could be a microphone. Additionally, the fingerprint sensor is noticeably gone from the back of the phone. Google has already confirmed that the next-generation Google Assistant will launch on the Pixel 4 this fall. The updated Assistant will offer dramatically faster responses to voice commands and questions plus keep a much better normal-flowing conversation.

Google is bringing cloud gaming to the masses with their streaming service called Stadia. Stadia utilizes Google's servers to generate and stream up to 4K HDR games at 60 frames per second with very low latency to almost anything with a screen on it. The debut video game roster stands at 28 with titles ranging from Destiny 2, Mortal Kombat 11, Final Fantasy XV and many more. The Stadia Base tier will be available to all players at either 720p or 1080p with a minimum connection of 10Mbps and players buying games a la carte at full price. There's also a Pro membership at $9.99 per month, which bumps up the resolution to 4K HDR, although this would require a 35Mbps connection or better. Pro subscribers will also receive a free game on a regular basis as well as exclusive discounts on other games. Players can gain early access to Stadia this November with the purchase of a $129 Founder's Edition controller and Chromecast bundle. Public release is expected sometime in early 2020.

Samsung is officially postponing the release of its foldable phone only days before it was originally scheduled to go on sale. The durability of the $2,000 Galaxy Fold came into question after some reviewer units failed due to issues with their displays. Samsung issued at statement: "We want our customers to have the best experience possible which is why, after initial feedback, we have decided to delay the release of the category-changing Galaxy Fold to make sure it measures up to the high standards we know you expect from us. We plan to announce the [new] release date in the coming weeks.” Some reports suggest that the Galaxy Fold won’t hit shelves until sometime in May at the earliest, but Samsung is giving itself plenty of leeway with its unspecified timeframe. The Galaxy Fold is a surprisingly highly anticipated device considering its price tag, however all of the pre-orders have been sold out for weeks.
