Almost all Android device makers other than Samsung copied the iPhone X’s notch this year, while simultaneously looking for ways to create all-screen phones without notches. We’ve seen slider phones appear where the selfie cam can pop out whenever it’s needed, and we’ve seen phones with a single camera module placed on the back of the phone, alongside a secondary display that you’d use for taking selfies and making video calls.

Samsung has recently unveiled the Infinity-O screen that we’ll see on the Galaxy S10 next year. The Korean Android vendor also unveiled its first-ever foldable phone, which is one other way to increase the size of a smartphone’s screen without using a notch.

The leaked Vivo Nex 2 demonstrates how a true all-screen phone can exist

%name The leaked Vivo Nex 2 demonstrates how a true all screen phone can exist by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Remember the Nubia X that we’ve shown you a couple of times already? It’s a phone that features not one, but two distinct displays, including the main screen that takes up the entire surface of the front area, and a secondary one on the back that’s smaller, with the express purpose of letting you take selfies.

This is another way of creating all-screen phones without compromising on notches like the iPhone X, camera holes like the Galaxy S10, or sliding mechanisms like other Android devices out of China. And the Vivo Nex 2 in the image above suggests such designs are here to stay. Vivo, by the way, also made phones with slide-out cameras, like the Nex S that preceded the Nex 2.

Bethesda’s $200 ‘Fallout 76’ collector’s edition isn’t what fans were promised

%name Bethesda’s $200 ‘Fallout 76’ collector’s edition isn’t what fans were promised by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Back in June, long before Bethesda’s open-world multiplayer shooter Fallout 76 arrived (to underwhelming reviews), the company pulled back the curtain on a special Power Armor Edition of the game. This collector’s set would include a steelbook, a world map, 24 figurines, and a full-scale Power Armor helmet. According to the product description, the helmet was going to come in a canvas carrying bag. The description was wrong.

Instead, Bethesda ended up including a cheap, flimsy nylon sack instead — one which looked nothing like the West Tek bag that appeared in the original ad for the Fallout 76 collector’s edition. At this point, it’s worth mentioning that the Power Armor Edition retails for $200. You can probably guess what happened next.
