Samsung may finally give theThe Galaxy Z Flip 7 might feature a cover screen that looks very similar to the Razr Ultra, according to animation files dug up by Android Authority from a leaked version of One UI 8. Up until now,... the biggest difference between Samsung's foldable flip phones and Razr's is that Razr has offered a cover screen that's edge-to-edge, without the notch on Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 6. The images Android Authority found show a cover screen that wraps around the Galaxy Z Flip 7's two back cameras instead of nestling them in a display-free cutout. This seemingly confirms renders shared by Android Headlines of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in March. Samsung has taken a very conservative approach to the year-over-year updates its made to the Flip, so changing the cover screen would be big. The Galaxy Z Flip 6...

Ticketmaster proudly announcesTicketmaster wants you to know it's "all in" on up-front pricing. In a blog post published on Monday, the company triumphantly declared that it's "putting fans first" and including fees in the first... price you see for a ticket. Not mentioned in Ticketmaster's announcement: An FTC rule requiring that exact change just so happened to take effect today. The FTC's bipartisan junk fees rule was finalized in December. It requires live event ticket vendors, hotels and rentals to "tell consumers the whole truth up front about prices and fees." Starting on Monday, they must display the full price (minus taxes) more prominently than other pricing information. Astonishing how Ticketmaster's consumer-friendly policy arrived on the very day Live Nation was required by law to do so. (The Lord works in...

The Switch 2 has a mode thatNintendo will include an optional battery preservation mode with the Switch 2, which the company revealed via its Nintendo Today! news app. This will cap the console's charge as it approaches 90... percent and then maintain it at that amount. Why do this? It's to keep the battery in tip-top shape. Rechargeable lithium batteries can degrade if kept in a fully-charged state.

Peacock's The Office spin-offThe Paper, a new spin-off of The Office set at a small Ohio newspaper, will premiere exclusively on Peacock in September, according to a post from the streaming service's X account. Considering... NBCUniversal's streaming service has mostly existed as a dedicated The Office and Parks & Recreation rewatch tool, this is a pretty big get.

The Paper covers "a historic Toledo newspaper, The Truth Teller, and the eager publisher that is trying to revive it," according to a press release from NBCUniversal's Upfront presentation. The Scranton documentary crew is heading to Toledo. #ThePaper arrives this September on Peacock. --...
