Samsung’s folding phone By Precious - February 21, 2019

Samsung on Wednesday unveiled its first folding handset as part of an effort to rev up demand in the slumping smartphone sector.

The South Korean giant’s Galaxy Fold, unveiled at a San Francisco event, services as a smartphone with a 4.6-inch display and unfolds to become a tablet of 7.3 inches.

“We are giving you a device that doesn’t just define a new category, it defies category,” said Samsung’s Justin Denison at the event.

The new device will be available on April 26 starting at $1,980, the company said.

The move comes with the smartphone market in its worst-ever decline with consumers keeping devices longer and waiting for new innovations.

Samsung made the announcement on the home turf of rival Apple, with the two giants battling for the premium segment of the market.

Denison said the Fold is “a one of a kind luxury device with immersive visuals,” and offers “a truly next-generation experience” that enables multitasking on its large screen.

Eddie Howe blames defeat on Bournemouth players

Eddie Howe refused to blame anyone but his own players for their 5-1 hammering at Arsenal, saying "every aspect" let them down. Howe's men matched their worst away run in 85 years - nine straight league defeats - with a 5-1 thrashing at the Emirates on Wednesday night, having trailed from the fourth minute in north London. The timing of the opening goal, scored inside four minutes by Mesut Ozil, particularly irked Howe after he had called his side "exciting" pre-game, and he said: "They were too good for us, it was a difficult night. We never truly recovered from the start, and it was uncharacteristic.
