We have been hearing for a while now that Samsung has been working on a foldable smartphone. Not to be confused with a flip phone which separates the display from the hinge, this foldable phone means that the entire phone’s display can be folded in half, meaning that users have the option of using it as a smaller device or using it as a larger one.
It sound interesting, but it could also be pretty pricey. According to a report from The Korea Times, it has been rumored that the foldable phone could cost as much as $2,000 when unsubsidized by carriers. Given that many balked at the $1,000 price tag of the iPhone X, it’s hard to imagine who would want to pay $2,000 for this particular handset.
It should be noted that one of the possible reasons why it could be so pricey is because it has been reported that the handset will be a limited-run model. This means that Samsung is only expected to produce a small number of these phones, which means that they won’t be able to hit mass production prices.
In any case take it with a grain of salt for now, but if you were hoping to check it out, you might have to wait a bit as last we heard, the phone is said to be due for a launch in 2019 as opposed to this year as what other rumors had claimed.

Google Play has long supported users getting refunds for items that they’ve paid for, such as apps. However when it comes to getting refunds for in-app purchases or subscriptions, that proves to be slightly tricky, although it appears that Google could be looking to introduce a way to allow that.
This will be done through partial refunds, a feature that some developers are starting to see. What this means is that developers now have the option to refund a portion of the amount paid by a user. This could be used for all sorts of purposes, such as refunding in-app purchases like those accidentally made by kids, or for a subscription where continuous outage could force the developer to give back users some money to make up for it, and so on.
However not all payment methods will accept partial refunds, according to Google. This means that depending on how you choose to purchase your Google Pay items, you may or may not be eligible for partial refunds. Also it won’t work for the Subscribe with Google feature that is used for news outlets.
These partial refunds are also not applicable for purchases made prior to March 2018, so don’t think you’ll be able to get partial refunds on apps and other purchases made before that. That being said, this seems to be only enabled for developers which means that it is up to them to decide if they want to issue it, versus it being something that users can ask for.

There was a rumor last month that suggested that Activision and Treyarch could be ditching the multiplayer season pass. It turns out that the rumor wasn’t true because according to Activision, it appears that while they will be changing how they approach DLCs, we’re not necessarily sure if it is for the better.
According to Activision’s support page (via Polygon), it seems that the DLCs sold for Black Ops 4 will be sold as an entire bundle. This means that players will have to go all in or get nothing at all, since DLCs will not be sold separate from each other. In the past players had the option to purchase the DLCs individually depending on their preference.
This is obviously more expensive than if you were to buy the entire season pass, but cheaper if you’re only after one or two DLCs. For example last year’s season pass was priced at $50, versus the DLCs which were sold at $15 each which meant buying all four would cost $60, $10 more than the season pass.
According to Activision, “We’re redefining the digital content season for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 by delivering more content with more frequency.” Like we said we’re not sure if this is necessarily for the better, but the earlier report did get something right which was that by doing this, it could help prevent spikes in the player base since players would have either bought all the DLCs or bought nothing.
