This is a “folding phone”: the 17-inch LG Gram Fold is presented, expensive
LG Electronics has unveiled its own foldable device with a large flexible screen. It was a laptop called LG Gram Fold.
This is an expensive and powerful model; at first it will be sold only in LG’s native Korean market. For the LG Gram Fold, the manufacturer asks $3,730. However, it is noticeably cheaper than HP’s $5,000 flexible-screen laptop.
In addition, the first 200 customers who order it in Korea will be able to get the laptop for just under $3,000. Of course, it’s unclear whether this device will ever be released internationally, let alone how much it will cost.
Unlike other foldable PCs currently on the market, the LG Gram Fold is powered by a 13th Gen Intel Core processor (i5-1335U), while its HP counterpart uses 12th Gen processors.
Other characteristics include a 17-inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1920 pixels; when folded, the user has access to a 12-inch screen with 1920 x 1280 pixels, 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and a 512 GB solid-state drive, and a 72 Wh battery. There are two USB Type-C ports, one of which supports Thunderbolt 4.
The Gram Fold comes with a Bluetooth keyboard that can be used separately from the laptop. Also included is a 65W charger and a stand case that protects the laptop and supports it when used on a desk.

Samsung Galaxy S24 smartphones are now one step closer to release: Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus and Galaxy S24 Ultra are certified in the USA
Samsung has already launched the certification process for its new US flagships: Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus and Galaxy S24 Ultra appeared in documents on the website of the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
The basic model is represented by catalog numbers SM-S921U and SM-S921U1, Galaxy S24 Plus – SM-S926U and SM-S926U1, Galaxy S24 Ultra – SM-S928U and SM-S928U1.
Based on the certification documents, the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus are equipped with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 adapters, NFC and UWB chips. The Galaxy S24 Ultra has everything the same except for Wi-Fi – it supports Wi-Fi 7.
Let us remind you that according to preliminary data, the premiere of the Galaxy S24 line will take place on January 17. The Ultra model will be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, while the other two models will be powered by both Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Exynos 2400.
Samsung is going to raise prices for image sensors for mobile devices.
System LSI is the world’s second largest manufacturer of image sensors for mobile cameras, after Sony. Therefore, increasing prices for ISOCELL sensors will affect many manufacturers.
Moreover, prices will be raised significantly: on average by 25%, and in some cases the increase will exceed 30%. Apparently, this will primarily affect sensors with a resolution of 32 megapixels and higher, that is, mid-budget and top-end models.
Next year, the smartphone market is expected to return to growth, and Samsung apparently wants to make money on it in this way. At the same time, other market players may well follow the example of the Korean giant.

Huawei has finally defeated American sanctions. Nova 12 Ultra will be the first smartphone with the Chinese Kirin SoC and a 5G modem
Due to American sanctions, Huawei was unable to produce smartphones with 5G modems for a long time – the company was simply cut off from supplies of both the necessary components and ready-made single-chip systems with integrated 5G support. But now everything will change: Huawei has its own SoC with a 5G modem, and the first smartphone based on it will be the Nova 12 Ultra.
This model, designated by catalog number ADA-AL00U, has already been certified in China, and the description specifically indicates 5G support. And the well-known insider Digital Chat Station revealed additional details.
According to him, the new mid-level Huawei smartphone (the Nova line is one of these) will have a Kirin 9000s SoC with a 5G modem. It will differ from the regular version of Kirin 9000s by a slightly lower (only 130 MHz) frequency of the large core. The Kirin 9000s configuration, we recall, looks like this: a large core with a frequency of 2.49 GHz, three medium cores with a frequency of 2.15 GHz and four small cores with a frequency of 1.53 GHz. According to rumors, the premiere of the Nova 12 line will take place in December.
Previously, Digital Chat Station was the first to accurately report the specifications and release dates of Redmi K50 and Xiaomi 12.
