Even though we’re well aware that LG is developing a few exciting concepts for foldable phones, the company is yet to embrace the foldable movement. And who can really blame them given that foldable phones aren’t easy to make or sell. Instead, unlike any other smartphone makers out there who’re carving up sleeker and better flagships, LG is going for a type of device that should never be allowed to exist in the current market place: a dual-screen phone that looks uglier and more cumbersome to use than a foldable device. And somehow, LG G8X Thin Q’s second screen features a secondary notch that serves no purpose.

BGR has partnered with The Points Guy for our coverage of credit card products. BGR and The Points Guy may receive a commission from card issuers.

Generally speaking, whenever you come across a public welcome offer from a credit card issuer — which could be something like, say, an incentive of 100,000 rewards points to sign up for the card — what you see is what you get. That’s the offer, pretty much everyone is eligible to get the same offer, and that’s that. With just a little bit of extra effort on your part, however, that may not actually be the end of the story — because, every now and then, banks will target specific customers with even better offers than the publicly available enticements.

Earlier this year, Will Smith filmed a fun, lighthearted confessional video in which he explains why — back in the 1990s when he was at the height of his success as a Hollywood mega-star — he turned down a huge role.

This was back when he was still riding high on the strength of roles in TV shows and movies like the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Independence Day. The role he got offered and declined, however, was that of Neo, the main character in The Matrix who, of course, was ultimately played superbly by Keanu Reeves.

One of the byproducts of the ongoing Streaming Wars that have come to characterize the modern entertainment landscape, with Netflix continuing to evolve and new streaming platforms launching almost everywhere you look, is that it’s never been this fun to be a TV fan. There’s more great content than ever to watch — which is also its own kind of problem. For some people, the paralysis of choice makes it harder than ever to answer the question of what to watch, since there’s more than ever to pick from.

Today, Google launched a new kind of recommender that functions a little like a TV guide with some fun Tinder-esque functionality, to make picking what you want to watch a little easier.

Whenever a powerful storm threatens coasts, we often focus on the potential impact on human lives and infrastructure. It can sometimes be easy to forget that hurricanes can severely disrupt the lives of wildlife as well, but some new images from a buoy in Hurricane Dorian’s eye is a great reminder.

The photos, first tweeted out by the National Weather Service in Charleston, South Carolina, show the conditions inside the eye. As you’d expect, there are relatively calm waters, a wall of clouds covering the horizon on all sides and… wait a second, are those birds?

The New $399 Move speaker Sonos introduced on Thursday represents a first in at least one major way for the company. It’s battery-powered, promises up to 10 hours of playback, and it’s available for pre-order starting today, ahead of general availability later this month on Sept. 24.

More important, the Move represents Sonos’ first foray into retailing a portable speaker, with a handle designed into the shell that makes it easy to take with you out of the home. According to Sonos CEO Patrick Spence, the Move launches the start of a new era for the company, one that allows the user to take “freedom of choice to the next level.”
