The trajectory of smartphone design these days is increasingly veering off into non-traditional niches, with the more traditional and most popular phone designs increasingly the product of a shrinking number of big companies like Apple and Samsung. Meanwhile, we’ve reported on lots of smaller players like Oppo and LG trying to carve out a niche for themselves in this market, with Sharp being a new addition to this list.

Based on newly discovered patent documentation, it seems that Sharp sees a future in combining two non-traditional smartphone categories into one — foldability, and gaming.

Remember way back in November when we were dying to see Avengers 4 footage? Well, Marvel and Disney delivered just that in the span of only a few days, potentially revealing specific minor spoilers about the film while simultaneously dropping more misleading clues to obfuscate what will actually happen in Avengers: Endgame. On top of the new trailer, TV spot, and private scene screenings that took place last week, Marvel put out a brand new Endgame featurette in which several of the original six Avengers drum up hype about the upcoming movie as if that’s needed. But what’s interesting is that Robert Downey Jr., who’s played Iron Man in a bunch of MCU films so far, says there’s “no way anybody could guess what’s gonna happen.”

One of the simplest ways to start watching your favorite Netflix shows is to get a hold of your phone and then just beam the content to a big screen TV. It’s that easy. But Netflix seems determined to make it harder than that for those people who pull this move with the help of iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV — or other AirPlay 2 compatible devices.

The frequent fliers amongst you will no doubt be aware that newer airplanes come with increasingly quieter cabins, which can make long flights a little more bearable, but can also be something of a double-edged sword. If you read the title, you already know where we’re going with this.

The reduced noise level only amplifies the volume of passengers flushing the toilet, which generally sounds like a terrifying approximation of standing with your head in a jet engine. Luckily, though, some Brigham Young University physicists think they’ve solved the intractable problem of the overly loud airplane loo.

It’s not often that the departures from Netflix are more noteworthy than the arrivals, but that might be the case this week as the entire animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars series is taking its leave from the streaming service. Though the movies that covered this time period in the Star Wars saga were rightly maligned, the Cartoon Network series was shockingly good. Hopefully it’ll pop back up on Disney+ later this year (or whenever it launches).

The biggest addition of the month might be You vs. Wild, which is a spinoff of sorts on Man vs. Wild in which you make decisions for host Bear Grylls and guide him on an adventure. It will be interesting to see if this generates as much buzz as Bandersnatch, which was Netflix’s first major foray into interactive storytelling.

“We consume too much content,” Avengers: Endgame co-director Joe Russo said recently, addressing the amount of footage they filmed for the movie. “So at our disposal are lots of different shots that aren’t in the movie that we can manipulate through CG to tell a story that we want to tell specifically for the purpose of the trailer and not for the film.”

We share that quote to remind Marvel fans that the Russos manipulate the Avengers 4 footage shown in trailers and TV spots to keep things secret until the premiere. To that end, Anthony and Joe just told us that one of the most epic Endgame scenes we saw this week isn’t real. That’s hardly a surprise coming from the folks who claimed that the title of Avengers 4 isn’t even mentioned in Infinity War.
