Fitbit is no. 2 smartwatch maker behind Apple with 13.9 million units sold in 2018

 Fitbit has emerged as the most trusted and popular maker of fitness wearables and it has also bolstered its position as smartwatch maker coming in behind Apple and its Apple Watch with $13.9 unit sales in 2018 and 5.6 million sales in Q4 alone.

“I’m proud of our performance this year,” Fitbit co-founder and CEO James Park said in a prepared statement. “Our results demonstrate that our strategy is the right one, placing us on a path back to growth and profitability. We grew our active users [by] 9 percent to 27.6 million … and grew the number of devices sold in the fourth quarter.”

The most popular Fitbit models include the Fitbit Versa, Ace, and Charge 3. The company is expected to continue to roll out more wearable options as well as add functionality to its existing devices.

Latest 'Dark Phoenix' trailer shows off a threat greater than Apocalypse

The latest installment to the X-Men saga on screen continues with X-Men: Dark Phoenix which shows our favourite team of mutants faced off with one of their own. Jean Greay (Sophie Turner) may have only been introduced in X-Men : Age of Apocalypse where she served as the trump card that helped take down Oscar Isaac's uncomfortable super villain Apocalypse.

Fast-forward to the 90's, and it looks like the X-Men are set to re-live one of their most traumatic chapters in the Dark Phoenix Sage where Jean Grey goes completely mad and unleashes the destructive power of The Dark Phoenix.

SourceCode: Samsung ushers in new Foldable segment

We can argue about the exorbitant price, the limited availability at launch, and how no one really needs the Samsung Galaxy Fold but that would diminish what Samsung has accomplished in giving the world an entirely new Foldables category.

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

While Samsung’s most recent Unpacked event focused mainly on their rather iterative update to the Galaxy S line with multiple Galaxy S10 handsets raising the bar (and the price) of what Samsung flagship smartphones can offer, this moment clearly belonged to the all-new Samsung Galaxy Fold.

Being the first folding smartphone from a leading manufacturer (and available in April 2019), the Galaxy Fold puts Samsung in the driver’s seat of an entirely new product category, one that, if developed properly, might eclipse smartphones and tablets in terms of future-facing functionality.

Samsung Galaxy S10 commercial leaks before product is announced

There's very little we don't know about Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S10 smartphones which are slated to be launched or unveiled soon despite various details and renders having been leaked. The latest fracas comes by way of a TV commercial of all things. Someone in Norway thought it would be hilarious to broadcast the entire 30 second advert for the new Samsung products including their new earbuds and Galaxy Gear smartwatches.

The Galaxy S10 will come with a triple-camera array. The ability to charge other devices wirelessly, have an ultrasonic fingerprint reader. Oh, and very tiny puncher-hole front facing cameras to mitigate any need for a notch.
