Samsung Galaxy Fold delayed due to screen breaks (Alphabet City)

**The Saga of Samsung's Galaxy Fold: A Reviewer's Nightmare**

It was supposed to be a revolutionary smartphone, one that would change the way we interact with our devices forever. The Samsung Galaxy Fold was set to launch on April 26th in the US for a whopping $2000. But, as it often does, fate had other plans. Reviewers who got their hands on the device ahead of the launch experienced a series of unfortunate events. A number of review units broke due to a faulty screen protector that reviewers removed from the inside of the display. The screen would not adhere properly, causing damage to the device. Samsung issued a statement to CNBC, stating that the Galaxy Fold needs further improvements before it is released, and a new release date will be announced in the coming weeks.

**Huawei P 30 Pro Review: A Camera Powerhouse**

Andrew Hoyle from CNET had the chance to review the Huawei P 30 Pro, and he was blown away by its camera capabilities. The phone's camera software is absolute perfection, with images that are unparalleled by any other smartphone on the market. The phone's ability to capture zoom and low-light photos is unlike anything Hoyle has ever seen from a phone. He notes that it blows away the S 10 plus and the Pixel 3 in every way. However, not all is sunshine and rainbows for this phone. Huawei has removed the headphone jack, which may be a deal-breaker for some users. Additionally, due to political issues, the P 30 Pro will not be available in the US anytime soon.

**Google's Retaliation Against Walkout Organizers**

In a shocking turn of events, Google employees who organized walkouts are being retaliated against by the company. Meredith Whitaker was told her role would be changed dramatically and that if she wanted to stay at Google, she would have to abandon her work on AI ethics. Claire Stapleton was told she'd be demoted and was forced to go on medical leave, despite not being sick. However, both women took matters into their own hands and hired lawyers to fight back against the company's actions. Their hard work paid off, as their demotions were undone, and they are now planning a retaliation town-hall meeting to talk about instances of retaliation in the workplace.

**The Great Google Pixel Refund Caper**

A Reddit user by the username "cheetos" was trying to get a refund for a defective Google Pixel. Initially, they received $80 instead of the expected $980. However, after ordering a new pixel, Google ended up shipping cheetos 10 brand-new Google Pixels. Cheetos wanted to return the phones and just get a proper refund. Fortunately, the story has a happy ending, as cheetos was able to get their money back.

For those who struggle with distractions while browsing the web, Google is working on an experimental reader mode for the desktop version of Chrome. The new mode will provide users with a distraction-free reading experience, perfect for students, researchers, or anyone looking to focus on their work. The feature is currently available in the experimental Chrome Canary build and may make its way to the regular build in the future.

**Will Google's Pixel 4 Come with More RAM?**

In a surprising twist, every Pixel has come with 4 gigs of RAM. But now, rumors suggest that the Pixel 4 may come with 6 gigs of RAM on the higher-end model. This would be a significant upgrade for the series and a nod to users who demand more from their smartphones. However, it's worth noting that not all sources confirm this information, so we'll have to wait and see if Google decides to go bigger or smaller.

**The Legacy of Dead Products: A Look at Google's Forgotten Innovations**

Google has a history of killing products before they can reach their full potential. Remember the ill-fated Google+ platform? Or what about the Inbox app that failed to impress users?

To see all these products, head over to the Geez Cemetery Cove website, where they're lovingly buried as relics of Google's past.
