The outside of the Galaxy Fold 2. That outer screen is a lot taller. [credit: MySmartPrice ] Get a good look at the Galaxy Z Fold 2 before it gets announced next week. MySmartPrice has the official renders a few days before Samsung's event, showing off the inside and outside of Samsung's next foldable smartphone. The pictures show about what we were expecting, which is a Fold with a dramatically taller outside screen, an inside screen with no giant notch, and hole-punch cameras on the inside and outside. Assuming Samsung brings all the improvements it made with the Galaxy Z Flip to the Fold 2, we'll be looking at a solid second iteration of its foldable tablet. A flexible glass display would be a nice improvement over the squishy, dull plastic display of the original Fold, and it should also be a heck of a lot more durable. The interior camera notch on the original Galaxy Fold was massive and covered basically the entire top-right of the display, making it difficult to pull down the notification panel with your right hand. The minimal hole-punch camera looks like a big improvement. Read 3 remaining paragraphs | Comments View the full article

Enlarge (credit: Carl Court / Getty Images) Telegram, the messaging app, has become the latest company to file a formal antitrust complaint to the EU over Apple’s App Store.

In proper 2020 fashion, Davey Havok And Jade Puget decided to release their next Blaqk Audio album only one part at a time. With its five-track Side A dropping Tuesday, the AFI members announced this week that they’ll share Beneath The Black Palms in its entirety on August 21. Their bouncy and eccentric “Hiss,” released yesterday, has since been coined their new single. And the duo paired the song with a luring YouTube visualizer. “‘Hiss’ is a lovely slice of noisy darkness,” Puget said in a statement. “Listen closely and you can hear the susurration of the palms.” The upcoming full-length was produced, recorded and mixed entirely by the duo. The record, which follows 2019’s Only Things We Love, follows a streak of four consecutive albums that topped Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Albums chart. Check out the new single below and listen to the album’s Side A, now available on streaming services. AFI most recently issued their 2018 EP The Missing Man, which followed one year after their self-titled LP. View the full article

Buzz Osborne has unleashed the final preview of his upcoming second album, Gift of Sacrifice. The pioneering Melvins frontman, recording under the name King Buzzo, released the experimental “Delayed Clarity” on Wednesday. The sinister track, which follows album cuts “I’m Glad I Could Help Out” and “Science In Modern America,” unfolds with strummed acoustic guitars, brooding vocals, and scraping strings. Gift of Sacrifice, featuring Mr. Bungle bassist Trevor Dunn, is out August 14 via Ipecac Recordings. The album was originally set for a May release but postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The record follows King Buzzo’s solo debut, 2014’s This Machine Kills Artists. Between those two LPs, Osborne recorded a series of albums with Melvins: 2016’s Basses Loaded and Three Men and a Baby (with Mike Kunka), 2017’s A Walk With Love and Death, and 2018’s Pinkus Abortion Technician. In June, Melvins teamed with Mudhoney for the four-song White Lazy Boy EP, featuring covers of Black Flag’s “My War” and Neil Young’s “Drive Back.” Check out King Buzzo’s “Delayed Clarity” and the Gift of Sacrifice tracklist below: 1. “Mental Vomit” 2. “Housing, Luxury, Energy” 3. “I’m Glad I Could Help” 4. “Delayed Clarity” 5. “Junkie Jesus” 6. “Science in Modern America” 7. “Bird Animal” 8. “Mock She” 9. “Acoustic Junkie” View the full article

Enlarge / This slide is a year old, but AMD CEO Lisa Su says it's still accurate—Zen 3, Big Navi, and next-gen console CPUs will all arrive on schedule later this year. (credit: AMD) During AMD's second-quarter earnings call, CEO Lisa Su said that all of the company's upcoming 2020 product launches are still on schedule—meaning Zen 3 desktop CPUs, RDNA 2 "Big Navi" GPUs, and console hardware for the PS5 and Xbox Series X. This is great news for consumers but bad news for Intel, which reorganized its engineering department this week shortly after admitting that we won't be seeing its 7nm desktop CPUs until late 2022 or perhaps even 2023. This isn't quite as bad as it sounds—there's a discrepancy between the way the two companies measure process size, and transistor density for Intel's 7nm process should be roughly equivalent to AMD fab partner TSMC's 5nm process. Unfortunately, the delay means TSMC should be debuting its 3nm parts around the same time that Intel now expects to be launch its own 7nm. Read 2 remaining paragraphs | Comments View the full article
