- HP’s EliteBook Folio Ultrabook getting a 1,600 x 900 screen option in March
We’ll be the first to admit we’ve reviewed an overwhelming number of Windows 8 laptops lately, but perhaps you remember the HP EliteBook Folio? If you don’t, here’s a one-sentence summary: it’s a fantastic machine, with long battery life, fast performance and a generous warranty, but it’s stuck with a fairly low-res 1,366 x 768 display. As it turns out, HP is already working on a better screen. A spokesperson for the company confirmed to us that a 1,600 x 900 option will be offered to US and European customers starting in early March. No word yet on how much that upgrade will cost, but if the pixel count was the main reason you ruled it out the first time around, it might be worth a second look — so long as you’re willing to wait another two months for it, of course.

Qualcomm unveils 5G antennas for the X50 modem: up to four in a phone with MIMO
The Qualcomm X50 modem promises stunning speeds of 5Gbps, but it will need the right antennas to get there. The company just unveiled its first antennas for millimeter wave and for sub-6GHz communication. What's the difference? Millimeter wave operates at very high frequencies - the QTM052 antenna works above 26GHz and even in the 37-40GHz range and it can receive up to 800MHz of bandwidth. That's how you get to 5Gbps transfer speeds. The antenna itself is tiny and it needs to be. Qualcomm envisions up to 4 of them inside smartphones. Together with the X50 modem, they support beam...

Samsung strikes against Apple with three new Ingenius ads
Samsung's anti-iPhone ad series Ingenius just got a few new clips titled Fast Charger, Dongle and Camera - pretty self explanatory. In these ads Samsung depicts a faux Apple store with an Apple Genius Bar employee that answers iPhone X questions from pro-Galaxy S9/S9+ users. The first ad was Speed and it focused on the Galaxy S9/S9+'s Gigabit LTE support, granting it double the LTE download speeds. These three new ads focus on the iPhone X's lack of a headphone jack (which the Galaxies have, naturally), its sub-par (according to DxOMark) camera and its lack of fast charging. At least...
Apple reportedly talking to BOE for OLED displays for future iPhones
LG was set to supply OLED panels to Apple for the iPhone sequels and while that deal is still in motion, it looks like it won't take over from Samsung as the primary supplier. The latest rumors claims that China's BOE will have that honor. But the deal is yet to be finalized. First, the company will have to prove it can produce OLED panels to Apple's strict specifications and at the required volumes. BOE's Senior Vice President claims that the Chengdu factory is already at a 70% yield, which experts say is close to what the company will need for mass production. Still, if an agreement...
Samsung's Smart Speaker will be called Magbee, coming at IFA 2018
Samsung's anticipated smart speaker will be called Magbee, according to a couple of trademark applications Samsung filled in the US and Europe. We know very little of the speaker, outside of its existence, but we can bet good money that it will be powered by Bixby and Harman will have some involvement. Samsung's US trademark application, image credit: 91Mobiles A recent patent application revealed that the speaker will have a dial. Samsung is expected to have some sort of wireless home audio solution in place with the Magbee speaker - likely with support for multi room audio and...
