Samsung may reveal the Galaxy Z Fold 2 on Aug. 5 at a virtual Unpacked event, possibly alongside the rumored Galaxy Note 20 and a 5G version of the Galaxy Z Flip, according to another report.

The 32-inch model is pretty surprising, even for 2020, most of us didn't know 1366×768 resolution displays were still being made.  OnePlus Y Series TVs are "budget" for a reason The OnePlus Y series start at Rs. 12,999 in India, that comes out to be about $173 USD. To get down to dis price point, OnePlus had to ditch the premium design that the U series gets. It is still bezel-less though. Audio-wise, it has two 10W speakers, with Dolby Audio support. No Dolby Atmos here, but ...
