While our computers have pretty much done away with disc drives, the same cannot be said for gaming consoles in which pretty much all the current-gen consoles still rely on physical mediums for games (there are options for digital downloads, but physical mediums are still offered).

However according to the rumors, Microsoft could be trying to change that this coming spring because in a report from Windows Central, they have heard that Microsoft could be looking to launch a disc-less Xbox console this spring. Codenamed “Maverick”, this will not be the company’s rumored next-gen console, but will instead be branded as the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition.

As the name suggests, this particular console will focus purely on digital downloads for gamers who don’t care for or have a need for physical copies of games. It is rumored to be launched this spring where pre-orders are expected to take place as early as next month. There is no word on how much this console could cost and if it could actually be cheaper than the current Xbox One S since it does away with some components, but we’ll have to wait and see.

In the meantime a previous rumor had suggested that Microsoft could also be unveiling their next-gen Xbox consoles at E3 2019, where one model could be the streaming model that will take advantage of the company’s xCloud gaming service.

The Samsung Galaxy Fold is priced at a whopping $1,980. This is by no means cheap for a device that has yet to be fully tested in the market and whose demand is still unclear, which means that Samsung is certainly asking for a lot, in terms of trust and money, from their customers.

At the moment it is unclear as to how durable such devices are, and realistically in day-to-day use, how well these displays will hold before they break. The good news is that according to a report from Bloomberg (via MacRumors), Samsung could actually be offering buyers of the Galaxy Fold free display replacements.

Typically when it comes to display replacements on regular smartphones, unless you purchase some kind of special insurance or warranty plan, you would have to pay for a display replacement in the event it cracks. However with the Galaxy Fold, Samsung could be looking to offer its customers a free display replacement in the event the display ends up cracking due to repeated folds.

It is unclear if this will be applicable outside of the warranty period or if it could be offered for the device throughout its lifespan, but we’ll have to wait and see. At the moment based on Samsung’s tests, they found that after 10,000 or so folds, a crease could appear. The company is currently working on trying to make it more durable ahead of its launch.
