Sony could be working on a foldable 5G phone

Although there are still no commercially-available foldable phones, nearly every smartphone company has a foldable handset rumored or confirmed to be in the works, and it seems Sony might be joining that ever-growing list with the Sony Xperia F.

The Sony Xperia F, if a report from Chinese website CNMO is to be believed, will be a foldable 5G phone which combines common features of Sony smartphones with some pretty futuristic ideas.

According to the report, the Sony Xperia F will have a 21:9 aspect ratio, like the company's most recent Sony Xperia 1, which suggests it's designed for streaming content like feature films, as most 21:9 phones are.

If the Sony Xperia F is 21:9, it seems likely that the handset will fold down on itself in a 'clamshell' form factor – as phones with this aspect ratio are often a bit elongated, and so the ability to fold it down would reduce its unwieldiness in the pocket.

On top of being a folding phone, the report suggests the Sony Xperia F will be 5G-compatible – this isn't a huge surprise given the Xperia F is said to release in 2020, when 5G phones will be a bit more mainstream, but we haven't heard of Sony working on a 5G phone before now.

It's bears pointing out that the Sony Xperia F name isn't confirmed in any way, although that's what lots of people have been calling it – we all thought the Samsung Galaxy Fold would be called the Galaxy F or Galaxy X before release though, so take the name with a massive pinch of salt.

TechRadar has reached out to Sony to comment on the rumors, and we'll update this article when we hear back.

Before the Xperia F, Sony has still to wow us with the Xperia 1, which it has just released, so expect our full review of that in the coming weeks. Sony's smartphone division has been in a bit of hot water recently with dwindling sales, and it remains to  be seen if the company's commitment to 21:9 aspect ratios will pay off – but if the Sony Xperia F is a novel enough phone, it could be the handset to save the company.

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It? On every Windows drive—even external USB drives—you’ll find a “System Volume Information” folder. You’ll only see it if you have Windows set to  show hidden files and folders , but it’s always there. So what is it for? Why Can’t I Open the Folder? On drives formatted with  the NTFS file system , this folder’s permissions are set to prevent everyone from accessing the folder, even users with Administrator permissions. Double-click the folder and you’ll see an error message saying the “location is not available” and “access is denied.” This is normal. That’s because Windows uses this folder for certain system-level features. The permissions are set to prevent users—and programs without the appropriate permissions—from tampering with the files inside and interfering with important system functions. What Is It For? Among other things, Windows stores  System Restore points  in the System Volume

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side The Black Friday iPad deals are never any good, but in 2021 they've somehow failed to clear that laughably low bar, and we've still been surprised by just how poor the Apple-tablet discounts are this year. Seriously – we're talking just $50 / £50 off super-power iPad Pros , and sometimes no discounts at all on entry-level or Mini tablets – and this outlook very likely won't change for the Cyber Monday iPad deals . If you were wanting to buy a new iPad in the Black Friday sales, it might seem like you're plum out of luck. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for deals in your region). It's not all bad news though, not as long as you're willing to try new things (and aren't committed to the Apple ecosystem already). That's because there are a few worthy tablet Black Friday deals on Android slates that make them much, much more tempting than an iPad. Sure, sure, sure: i
