as declared in A new FCC filing shows that Samsung may be prepping to release an updated version of the HMD Odyssey, its Windows Mixed Reality headset launched at the end of last year. The new headset will be called the HMD Odyssey+, and there doesn't appear to be many changes, except for some cosmetic differences to make the headset more comfortable to wear. The filing shows that the headset's display size remains the same with dual 3.5-inch screens with a 1440 x 1600 resolution per eye, but now the eye box is wider to prevent fogging. The specs chart below does mention a new acronym we haven't seen before with "AMOLED+SFS" listed as the display type, but it's not yet clear what SFS is. It probably won't be long until we can get more details on the upcoming Odyssey+.
Samsung likely to ban iPhone X and iPhone 8, just as Apple launches new iPhones
From the Ministry of Flawless Timing comes a report that the South Korean government is "likely" to ban imports of current-gen iPhones, including the iPhone X and iPhone 8. Normally, a ban on phone imports to a major market would be a disaster for Apple, but with a fresh crop of iPhones set to be unveiled tomorrow, it's less of big deal than it would initially seem. The ban is being considered thanks to a patent-infringement claim by a company called KAIST, which claims that it has patented FinFET, a processor technology used by Apple in its A-series processors (and by most other mobile processors, for that matter). If KAIST's patent is upheld as valid, it could affect more than just Apple, which is why Samsung has actually entered the dispute on Apple's side. It's already engaged in litigation against Samsung in the US, and Samsung is fighting back by challenging the validity of KAIST's patent.

Yet there's a new Galaxy even scheduled for October 11 and the launch of a new device has been promised: "Samsung's newest Galaxy device is bringing more ways to express yourself than ever before."So, what is it? However, this seems to be an online-only event and we doubt Samsung will unveil its game-changing device with so little fanfare. The Galaxy J6 Plus and J4 Plus (aka J6 Prime and J4 Prime in India) have been touring certification authorities. The X could be hinting at a new Xcover phone, it has been well over a year since the Galaxy Xcover 4. Now, the invite says "device", so it doesn't have to be a phone, it could be a new tablet.
