Welcome to the Tech Meme Right Home for Thursday, January 23rd, 2020. I'm Brian McCullough today.

More Samsung Phone Rumors. Match Group invests in safety features as a feature.

The Baysos phone hack story gets a lot weirder and murkier and everybody seems to have noticed

that Google search has gotten crufty all at once. Here's what you miss today in the world of tech.

More rumors ahead of Samsung's upcoming unpacked event and more

scoops from XDA developers.

XDA's Max Weinbach, reported that the expected Galaxy Z-Flip foldable phone with a

clamshell design, by the way, Z-Flip is apparently the name for this device.

Anyway, that foldable clamshell phone might be doing something that other foldable phones haven't done before.

Quote, the Galaxy Z flip will lock into two different positions, 90 and 180 degrees.

You can use it at 90 degrees as a kickstand and apps like Google Duo or the camera will just use the top part of the screen."

End quote.

So click through to the mashable story that I link to in the show notes to see this sort of demoed in action. It's sort of like how those foldable laptops

we've been seeing come out tend to work when you fold 90 degrees. The top half

is the business end and the bottom half becomes controls or a keyboard or a second

screen or whatever depending on the app. That actually makes a ton of sense for a bunch of

things. If you think about it like setting your phone down when doing a video call or something.

So to sum up this Z-flip is probably a clamshell phone, probably square when folded up, folds up to be smaller but also folds halfway

to be self-supporting and usable hands-free. And all in all, since you can fold it up, it should be easier to use one-handed and smaller in your pocket.

By the way, Max also rumoured that the flagship Galaxy S20, which was rumored to be touting a display running at 120

hurts, might actually out of the box only be running at 60 hurts, quoting Android Central,

quoting Max's tweets.
