At least once a year, Samsung pulls hundreds of reporters, analysts and industry folk into one big room for an event it calls “Samsung Unpacked,” where the company shows off all of their latest flagship devices. The first Unpacked of 2020 was held this morning in San Francisco — and from $1,400 folding smartphones to handsets with cameras packing 100x zoom, it was a doozy.
Here is a quick run down of what happened earlier this morning
Galaxy Z Flip. That’s right, the flip phone bandwagon is back in full swing. The 2nd foldable smartphone from Samsung was announced first up. Unfolded, the screen comes in at 6.7 inches. Folded, a small exterior display allows for some lightweight functionality— things like notifications, battery life indicators and quick selfies. There’s also a sort of halfway unfolded, laptop-style mode (pictured above) that Samsung calls “Flex mode,” which they pitch as being particularly good for hands-free video calls.
Galaxy S20. When you hear S20, you start to think what happend to S12 through S19…well Samsung decided for 2020 to start right at 20 to mark the start of the new decade.
It’ll come in three variants: the S20, S20+ and S20 Ultra — starting at $999, $1,199 and $1,399, respectively. Three phones, three display sizes: S20 comes in at 6.2″, S20+ at 6.7″ and S20 Ultra at 6.9″. All three displays run at 120hz, though you’ll have to drop the native Quad HD+ resolution down to 1080p for that. All three models support 5G. Like many smartphones launched recently, Samsung’s main focus here is the camera — and the specs here, at least on paper, are pretty mind-blowing.
The S20 has three cameras, the beefiest of which is a 64-megapixel telephoto lens. The S20+ and S20 Ultra bump it up to four cameras with the introduction of a depth sensor, and the S20 Ultra alone packs a rather wild 108-megapixel sensor on the wide angle lens. The camera specs vary quite a bit from model to model and it can all get pretty confusing, so here’s Samsung’s spec sheet breakdown for reference:
The S20 and S20+ will support up to 30x “Space” (digital) zoom; the S20 Ultra bumps it up to 100x. All three phones will also shoot 8K video. A feature Samsung calls “Single Take” allows you to take one short video and get multiple options to choose from in return — boomerangs, looping clips, AI-enhanced photos, etc.
Samsung and other retailers have opened their pre-orders as of 9am this morning with the release date due to be late Feb/early March. If you pre-order now, most of the major players are giving the new Galaxy Buds + with the phone.
I know this was posted over a week ago, but its still worth bringing up. Thats right, the Fast & Furious cast are back for their 9th movie. Now i know what some of you are thinking, why…oh why…is there ANOTHER one? Well sorry to break the bad news guys, there is a 10th movie still to come!
Vin Diesel’s Dom Toretto is leading a quiet life off the grid with Letty and his son, little Brian, but they know that danger always lurks just over their peaceful horizon. This time, that threat will force Dom to confront the sins of his past if he’s going to save those he loves most. His crew joins together to stop a world-shattering plot led by the most skilled assassin and high-performance driver they’ve ever encountered: a man who also happens to be Dom’s forsaken brother, Jakob (John Cena).
F9 sees the return of Justin Lin as director, who helmed the third, fourth, fifth and sixth chapters of the series when it transformed into a global blockbuster. The action hurtles around the globe—from London to Tokyo, from Central America to Edinburgh, and from a secret bunker in Azerbaijan to the teeming streets of Tblisi.
F9 is due to hit cinemas in Australia on the 21st May 2020

Breaking news out of the US this morning, Kobe Bryant aged 41 has died in a helicopter crash.
Bryant is believed to be one of multiple fatalities in the crash.
The LA County Sheriff’s office tweeted five people were confirmed dead, with no survivors in a helicopter crash in Calabasas. The authorities have not confirmed the identities of those killed.
Bryant is one of the most famous players to ever step foot on a basketball court. He has scored the fourth-most points of anyone in the league’s history, being surpassed just last week by fellow superstar LeBron James.
The Los Angeles Lakers legend had a professional career spanning two decades as he became the face of the iconic NBA franchise. He won five NBA championships with the Lakers and was named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) in two NBA Finals campaigns.
An 18-time All-Star, Bryant was also recognised as the league’s MVP in 2008. Known as Black Mamba, Bryant retired in 2016, signing off by dropping 60 points in his final game.

In 2020, a major milestone in the Japanese sports scene, ASICS SportStyle will be breaking the barriers between the sports and the lifestyle scene.
A special project to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the birth of Gel-Lyte III, a performance shoe for long-distance runners announced in 1990, which was overwhelmingly popular among such brands, was launched.
The collaboration with the original designer of the Gel-Lyte III, Shigeyuki Mitsui and with the ideas of Shigeyuki Kunii of Mita Sneakers while following “Trico” which has been adopted as the color concept of successive collaboration models.
The visible and invisible parts have been updated. “Akafuji” which is said to have good luck in coloring, “Tsuru” which is said to symbolize longevity and prosperity.
The inside Asics stripe adopts the blue, red and white tricolor. The details of the collaboration model that has been produced so far are scattered in an exquisite balance, and the split tongue is equipped with zip to evolve into a 2-way specification that can be worn as slip-on.
In addition, “Far East”, which represents Ueno as seen from the world in Japan and Tokyo as seen from the world, is enshrined at the bottom of the midsole, which is seen from the clear out sole.
Australian release date will be on the 25th of January 2020. Will be available at the following stores – Above the Clouds (NSW), Up There Store (VIC), Laced (QLD), Subtype (VIC) and USG (SA).
