Go give it a listen. ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don’t have to): 402 articles, 11 podcasts, 14 press releases, 329 tweets, and 19 YouTube videos 1. Samsung Will Let You Try a Galaxy Folding Phone for 100 Days Samsung is letting people try out the Galaxy Z Flip 5G or Galaxy Z Fold2 5G for 100 days as part of its new 'Buy and Try' program.
