Samsung on Monday finally announced the official Galaxy Fold release date in the United States, which is a crucial first step to potentially putting this horribly embarrassing saga behind us. The phone will be made available both from AT&T and unlocked from Samsung’s own stores beginning this Friday, September 27th. That places the US release date exactly five months and one day after the company’s first foldable phone was supposed to be released.

Usually when Amazon has a big sale on Anker products, there are at least a dozen different discounted gadgets to choose from. In today’s big Gold Box sale, however, there’s only one.

The iPhone 11 series finally hit stores on Friday, with people still lining up to buy Apple’s newest smartphones. The iPhone 11 has many advantages over its predecessor, with the camera, battery life, and processor performance being among the notable improvements. When it comes to design, all three new iPhones look just like their predecessors aside from the new rear cameras and frosted glass. The iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max all feature glass-sandwich designs, meaning there’s a metal chassis placed between the front and rear glass panels. While the glass on the new iPhones can withstand certain shocks, do not be surprised to learn that you might still need a protective case to “ruin” the phone’s design. However, a bunch of drop and durability tests revealed a pleasant surprise. The smallest of the three new iPhone models is also the “most durable iPhone in generations,” one that’s likely to survive a bunch of accidental drops.

For the past couple of weeks, we’ve been testing a brand new robot vacuum that has totally blown us away. Now, we’re so excited that it has been announced because we can finally share it with you!

Roomba might be the most recognizable brand in the robot vacuum biz, but it’s definitely not the hottest company in the market right now. That honor goes to Roborock, the company that makes insanely powerful robot vacuums with even more features than Roomba at lower prices. For example, the $650 Roborock S6 is just as good as the brand new Roomba that costs over $1,000… but $650 is still a lot to pay for a robot vacuum. That’s why we’re so excited about the just-announced Roborock S4 Robot Vacuum! It features the same strong 2,000Pa suction as the S6, but it ditches a few of the bells and whistles to whittle down the price. Instead of paying $650, this great model is only $400 — or just $359.99 if you hurry, because Amazon has a special $40 coupon available to celebrate the launch!

Roborock S4 Robot Vacuum, Precision Navigation, 2000Pa Strong Suction, Robotic Vacuum Mapping C…: $359.99

Here are the highlights from the product page:

• Revamped drivetrain and ultra-Precise Laser Navigation, as used in autonomous cars, makes it harder to trap S4, even in complex environments.
• Comprehensive Roborock app control, including map saving, selective cleaning, no-go zones, and power setting, give you total control of S4 no matter where you are.
• Intense 2000pa Suction, enough to lift AA batteries, easily picks dust off floors and can even drag trapped dirt from deep inside low-pile carpets.
• Supersized 5200mAh LiPo battery, good for over 150 minutes of non-stop cleaning, is more than enough to clean most homes in one session.
• An elegant transparent design adds a touch of style, and also makes checking the dustbin easier. A glance through the shell is all you need to do.

Last week, the Roav Viva by Anker dropped to $19.96 after a discount and an on-site coupon on Amazon. That was the lowest price ever for an awesome device that’s not only a car charger, but also basically an Echo Dot for your car thanks to its support for hands-free Alexa. The bad news is that Amazon’s big sale is over… but the good news is that refurbs are now in stock for just $19.43! That’s a new all-time low, and it probably won’t last very long so you had better hurry if you don’t want to miss out!

Roav Viva, Alexa-Enabled 2-Port USB Car Charger in-Car Navigation (Renewed): $19.43

Here’s some more info from the product page:

• Alexa Inside: Amazon’s voice service gives you complete voice control in your car. Just say the word to get directions, listen to audiobooks from Audible, shop online, play music, and more over Bluetooth, Carplay, or Android Auto. (Note: FM transmission, AUX, and Spotify are not supported.)
• High-Speed Charging: Dual charging ports equipped with Anker’s exclusive PowerIQ technology deliver blazing charging speeds to both driver and passenger. Qualcomm Quick Charge not supported.
• Supports Alexa Communication: Calling, Messaging, Drop In, and Announcements—all hands-free.

Scan the headlines this morning and you’ll see last night’s Emmy Awards show described as “boring,” “ridiculous,” or even “embarrassingly bad.” You probably have no idea how good or bad it was though, because who even watches awards shows anymore? There are really only a few things you need to know about the Emmys this year and the fact that Game of Thrones won more awards than any other show is at the top of the list. That’s right, the show that had what is almost universally described as one of the worst final seasons in the history of television won more Emmy awards for its final season than any other show. Add last night’s wins for best drama series (I just vomited in my mouth) and Peter Dinklage’s win for best supporting actor in a drama series (okay fine, that one is well-deserved) to the 10 technical Emmys the show took home at last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys and you’ve got a total of 12 Emmys, making it the most awarded show of the year.

Once you’re done dry heaving, you should know that there were also some Emmys handed out to actors and shows that actually deserved them. Jodie Comer won best lead actress in a drama series for her mind-blowing performance in Killing Eve, and the only argument there is that this should’ve been her second consecutive year taking home the award. The brilliant Amazon show Fleabag rightfully won best comedy series, and HBO’s Chernobyl won best limited series. Want to see the rest of the big winners and losers from last night? You’ll find the complete list below.

Disney on Sunday kicked off preorders for its Disney+ stream service, more than a month ahead of the November 12th launch. Buyers who want to sign up early for the new Netflix rival have a choice between monthly and yearly subscriptions and an incentive to get their order in before November 12th. However, a set of future Disney+ subscribers will want to wait until launch day to take advantage of the service.

Millions of people have bought one of the three iPhone 11 phones that Apple launched less than two weeks ago, and the handsets are available in stores already — Apple doesn’t announce sales numbers for the iPhone, but several models sold out online soon after preorders started. But what’s more important is that, now that the phone has shipped to buyers, we have the first “official” teardown of the handset, which answers several questions. In the days leading up to the phone’s launch, we saw battery capacities get leaked, which is a detail Apple never shares. The iPhone maker also has the habit of not telling the public how much RAM its phones have, with a wild claim a few days ago saying the handset has 2GB of extra memory, dedicated to the camera system. Finally, we’ve heard conflicting reports of the bilateral wireless charging feature the phone was supposed to have. iFixit’s teardown helps answer all of those questions and reveals other iPhone 11 secrets.

Dealing with low gravity in space can take some getting used to for scientists who make their way to the International Space Station. They prepare as best they can back on Earth, but the human body tends to do some weird stuff when you remove gravity from the equation, and astronauts who return from space can exhibit a variety of issues that take some time to correct.

Now, researchers from the European Space Agency are using data from astronauts aboard the ISS to learn more about how space travel affects one very basic function of the human body: breathing.
