Samsung fans now have just over one week to go until the company’s hot new flagship smartphones finally hit store shelves. They were officially announced just last week, but the wait seems so much longer since details surrounding the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, and Galaxy S10e began leaking months ago. We knew just about all of the important details long before Samsung execs took stage at the company’s first Unpacked event of 2019, but fans will still be pleasantly surprised at how impressive these phones are when you actually get your hands on one.

We published our in-depth Galaxy S10 review just yesterday, and you should definitely check it out if you’re considering picking up any of Samsung’s new Galaxy S10 phones for yourself. We don’t want to spoil too much, but suffice it to say we were very impressed. Samsung needed a win after releasing three of the most boring flagship phones we’ve ever seen in 2018, and the Galaxy S10 series is indeed destined to be a big win. As if Samsung’s overhauled design and all of the S10’s nifty new features weren’t enough, there’s now even more good news for future Galaxy S10 owners in the United States.

It’s the result of a close collaboration between Nokia, Light, and Qualcomm, as we were told during a meeting at MWC 2019. The handset should offer an unrivaled mobile photography experience, at least in theory, and you’ll soon be able to try it out for yourself. The Nokia 9 will be available in the US next month, and HMD is ready to knock $100 off the regular price if you preorder it early.

There’s been a lot of talk about foldable devices at MWC, especially following Huawei’s Mate X launch. The foldable handset stole the show when it comes to foldable devices, a surprising feat considering that all eyes of the world were on Samsung’s Galaxy Fold ahead of MWC. But we also saw a bunch of other smartphone makers showcase foldable phone concepts at the show, or tease them online, including Oppo and TCL, but also Energizer and Motorola. The latter actually confirmed in an interview that its first foldable handset would hit the market as soon as the first half of the year.

More than a week ago, we had no clear idea whether Samsung would bring its first foldable handset to the Galaxy S10 Unpacked press conference, as it was previously rumored. And we suspected that at least one foldable would be shown at the Mobile World Congress. What followed was somewhat surprising, as foldable devices quickly took over MWC 2019. They’re certainly not for everyone, but they’re the talk of the town. It’s not a surprise that a foldable phone won the “Best in Show” award in Barcelona this year, but it wasn’t Samsung’s Galaxy Fold that did it.

When it comes to public health, one of the biggest risks is elected officials having absolutely no idea what they’re talking about. Republican Bill Zedler, a Texas state representative, recently spoke about the growing measles outbreak concern and the prospect of making vaccines mandatory to prevent widespread illness of the high-contagious disease. It probably won’t shock you to learn that he’s firmly against vaccination requirements.

As the Texas Observer reports, Zedler continued his anti-vaccination push by voicing his support for a new bill that would make it even easier for parents to opt out of mandatory vaccinations of their children. His reasoning is flawed, to say the least.
