Since it seems that companies are coming out with folded phones lets take a look at this one. The Huawei Mate X, which keeps its screens on the exterior of the phone. The result is a logical design that lets both 6.6-inch "sides" of the screen function when folded, yet serve as an 8-inch tablet when unfurled. It also promises high-speed 5G wireless connectivity, excellent image chops thanks to the Leica-engineered camera, and plenty of battery life thanks to a purpose-designed 4500 mAh cell. The cost, however, is up to $2,600 compared to the Samsung Fold which is $2,000.


 

It's a smartphone when folded, a tablet when unfolded, the Samsung Galaxy Fold aims to create a new product category. It has a 4.6-inch AMOLED front display for normal use and a hidden hinge that opens for access to the 7.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED Infinity Flex display for when you want to watch a video, multitask (app continuity), or just view your content on a larger screen. Six cameras with three on the back, one on the front, and two on the inside — allows you to snap photos from any angle, and a 7nm Octa-Core processor, 12GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, two batteries, and an available 5G modem ensure nothing slows you down. Coming April 26 with a whopping price tag of $1,980.

This right here would look great in anyone's home who is looking for a great hi-fi system that has a look to match a high-quality sound.

Panasonic has over a decade of experience making mirrorless cameras, so it's no surprise that the S1 & S1R are the company's first to use full-frame sensors. The S1 is well-rounded, with advanced video capabilities and a 24MP sensor. The S1R is built for those who need maximum resolution and is based around a 47MP sensor with a 187MP "High Res" sensor-shift mode. Both cameras are fully weather-sealed, with 5.76M-dot, 120Hz OLED electronic viewfinders, 5-axis in-body image stabilization systems, dual-hinged touchscreen LCDs, quick contrast-detect AF systems, and support for both XQD and SD cards. They both use L-mount glass, a Leica-owned system that will include lenses from Panasonic, Sigma, and Leica themselves. It will run you about $2,500 for the S1R about $3,700. Check out more on the camera's on Panasonic's website.

You carrying that charging cable with you, hoping to find a port or plug if your battery gets super low. The Native Union Jump Cable ($45) does the same job but can save you the search. It has an integrated 800 mAh lithium-ion battery that provides just enough power to get you through the end of a long night, or get a dead device back up and running. Compact and rugged, the battery serves as storage for the MFi-certified, braided Lightning cable, helping to keep your bag organized and sorted.

Now this is a monitor that I would make room for! Stretching 49 inches across, the LG 49WL95 UltraWide Monitor (TBA)  is ideal for those who spend their days shuffling multiple windows. It has a resolution of 5120 x 1440 — the equivalent of two 27-inch QHD screens stuck together — and a PPI of 108, making text crisp and photographs pop. Its USB-C connection can provide power to laptops, a Picture by Picture mode lets content from multiple sources appear side-by-side, and support for HDR 10 and 4K video make the slightly curved screen a great way to take in immersive content.

Scott Hansen, a graphic artist who makes beautiful ambient music as Tycho and maintains the equally amazing blog ISO50, has a singular vision of music and art. Everything posted on ISO50 ascribes to an almost soothingly minimal aesthetic feel with his music style.

What magic that gets your hair to stand up with emotions. This remix ODESZA - Across The Room (feat. Leon Bridges) [Tycho Remix] hits the sound scapes of Tycho and Odesza and it couldn't be a better combination.  Listen, Love and enjoy.
