World’s biggest mobile phone manufacturer, Samsung, will, on August 10, unveil its latest ‘iteration’ of the Galaxy Z Series which is expected to be called the Fold 4 and Flip 4.

In a statement announcing the upcoming smartphone, the South Korean tech giant said the innovation was part of its continued growth strategy to give the best to its customers.

“Innovation isn’t just about radical ideas; it’s about unlocking new experiences that transform our daily lives for the better,” a Samsung executive said in a statement while announcing the launching which will hold virtually.

“Meaningful innovations go beyond the technical and provide a platform upon which our every day lives become richer and more versatile — opening us up to greater possibilities than ever before,” he added.

The Galaxy Z Fold is the latest innovation to the Galaxy Z Fold 3 which was released last year and features a 7.6-inch main screen and 6.2-inch cover display, according to the specifications on the manual.

The expected Flip 4 remains the third model in the series as Samsung skipped a “2” version of the device to align it with the Fold 3, much like when it bypassed a Note 6 to align the now-defunct series with its flagship Galaxy S line-up.

Egyptian food-tech startup, Bonbell, has secured $350,000 in an initial funding round through a Canadian angel investor for the App services development.

Bonbell, a food ordering technology startup, according to the Chief Business Officer of the company, Doaa Abdel-Hameed, is seeking to increase the number of restaurants it covers to 750 by the end of 2022 across Egypt and other North African country.

She added that the startup is negotiating with two other venture capital funds in Europe and the GCC to raise $10 million in seed funding by the end of the year.

“We aim to help restaurants in offering an easier food ordering experience to their customers, either through food delivery or reserving a table in the restaurant, as well as take away orders and also the special orders made by customers in their restaurants.

“We pursue a better experience for the Egyptian user in food ordering; we see a lot of potential and opportunities to do that through developing the App constantly based on the user reviews, and adding more restaurants in all of the Egyptian governorates,” Abdel-Hameed said on Thursday.

Abdel-Hameed emphasized that the Bonbell has, in the past six months, earned the trust of more than 12,000 customers who used the app in food ordering in all ways offered.

She added that the success of the
Bonbell App, in offering the best experience to its users can only be done through strategic partnerships with many more restaurants, in addition to the constant development of the technology used in the App, as well as relying on offering inventive solutions to the Egyptian user such as Robotic Stations service.
