Samsung looks at its past to test future feature for Galaxy Z Flip
Samsung has recently filed for a patent on a display interface on the edge of a phone that looks like a future Galaxy Z Flip model. The application for the patent was submitted to the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA). The patent was spotted by 91mobiles and shows a "battery level graphical user interface" on a foldable clamshell flip-style phone. There is a slight curve to the top frame of the flip phone and the interface will remind you of Samsung's curved display phones of the past. The Galaxy Note Edge was launched in 2014 with a curved edge on one side. The illustration included in the patent shows what appears to be an indicator revealing how much battery life remains on the phone. To make it easier for the user to check out the status of the phone's battery, a line made up of a solid color representing the battery percentage remaining on the phone runs up the curved display. At the bottom is the numerical equivalent of the battery percentage remaining. For example, with 90% battery life remaining the illustration in the patent shows a blue line running up the curved display taking up 90% of the complete line. The remaining 10% is in black indicating the percentage of the battery that has been used. The black color will always represent the percentage of the battery consumed while the other color gives you a quick idea about the status of the battery. With 90% battery life remaining, that line is blue indicating that your clamshell flipper has plenty of battery life left. At 50%, the line is in gold, and with 10% battery life remaining that line is in red which is supposed to be like a "red alert" warning. The patent illustration also shows that the bottom of the phone features a USB-C port for charging and data transfers and there are dual speaker grilles. The patent also shows the edge-to-edge cover display and the dual cameras. The device shown in the patent application certainly resembles a Galaxy Z Flip model. Just because Samsung filed this patent application it doesn't mean that we will definitely see a curved display clamshell foldable with a "battery level graphical user interface." If Samsung does decide to go ahead and add this feature to the Galaxy Z Flip, it wouldn't be on this year's model and would probably debut in 2026 at the earliest.

Woman who attacked two teens in Jacksonville road rage case could be deported
A woman was on trial Thursday for attacking two teenage girls in a 2024 road rage incident in Jacksonville. The encounter was recorded by one of the victims. This all happened near Christ's Church Academy in Jacksonville. In the video of the incident, the woman on the left is Jessica Goncalves. You can see and hear Goncalves and one of the teenage victims yelling at each other. It doesn't take long before it gets physical. Seconds later, you can see Goncalves grab one of the girls by her sleeve and yank her forward. >>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <<< The two then become physical with one another and call each other crazy. Goncalves then lunges at the person recording the encounter and grabs her phone away. Action News Jax is not identifying the victims because of their age. Goncalves is charged with two counts of battery. During Thursday's trial, both victims testified on the stand. 'She grabbed my phone out of my hand and pushed me,' said one of the victims. [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks] 'The first time it was as she was approaching me, she had put her arms out and she had touched my chest,' said the second victim. The defense tried to make the argument that the girls also attacked Goncalves. 'So you want this court to believe that here you are with your friend, some lady as you describe, gets out of the car, comes over this way, takes your phone. You end up on the ground. You don't touch her, you don't kick her, you don't punch her,' said Robert Slama, Jessica Goncalves' attorney. 'I did not,' replied one of the victims. An ICE spokesperson confirmed with Action News Jax that Goncalves is not in the country legally, and the outcome in this case could lead to an even larger legal issue for her. An ICE spokesperson sent us a statement that reads: Jussica Luana Goncalves is an illegalalien from Brazil who was encountered by the U.S. Border Patrol on May 1, 2021, near Otay Mesa, California. She was charged with inadmissibility per the Immigration and Nationality Act as an alien present without admission or parole and released on her own recognizance. On Feb. 16, 2025, 287(g)-designated immigration officers encountered Goncalves at the Duval County Jail in Jacksonville, Florida, after she was arrested for child abuse without great bodily harm. She has a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement immigration detainer and, upon completion of local charges, will be turned over to ICE. [SIGN UP: Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter] Action News Jax clarified with the spokesperson that he meant to say February 2024. In court, Goncalves' lawyer Robert Slama argued that the trial was happening as a way to get Goncalves deported. 'You're aware that she's an immigrant, correct?' asked Slama to one of the victims. 'Yes,' said the victim. 'Is it your goal, last question for her to be deported?' Slama asked the victim. 'No,' the victim replied. Goncalves was found guilty of two counts of battery.

Anker partners with Apple battery supplier ATL after massive power bank recall
Chinese charging peripherals maker Anker Innovations has forged a strategic partnership with battery maker Amperex Technology Limited (ATL), moving swiftly to secure a new battery cell supplier after jointly recalling more than a million power banks in one of the country's largest consumer electronics recalls in recent years. The Shenzhen-based gadget maker planned to purchase an initial batch of 45 million lithium-ion batteries from ATL, according to a statement published on Anker's website on Wednesday. The deal is a shift for Anker's supply chain as it seeks to restore consumer confidence in the safety of its products. Anker is 'deepening supply chain collaboration with a leading battery cell supplier to take a major step towards a premium consumer electronics energy solution', the company said. The move comes after Anker and rival Romoss last week recalled more than 1.2 million power banks, halting sales of affected models and urging customers to seek refunds or replacements. The companies attributed the recall to defective battery cells from an unnamed supplier, which posed overheating and fire risks. Earlier reports linked the defective battery cells to Apex Wuxi, a subsidiary of American battery maker Amprius Technologies and Wuxi Industrial Development Group. When asked, Anker would not confirm that Apex batteries were the source of the problem, but said it had ceased doing business with the company. Apex Wuxi is one of the top battery cell providers to Chinese power bank makers, according to consultancy Chongdiantiou, which focuses on the country's battery industry. The Romoss PAC20-392 and Anker A1681, two of the recalled products, both used Apex batteries, according to previous Chongdiantiou teardown reports.

Resources Top 5: Positive signs that lithium is waking from slumber
Argosy Minerals has executed a spot sales contract for the sale of 60 tonnes of battery quality lithium carbonate from its Rincon project Core Lithium is optimistic about a restart of the Finniss project in the NT Sunrise Energy Metals has received high-grade scandium assays from Syerston project Your standout small cap resources stocks for Friday, June 27, 2025 Argosy Minerals (ASX:AGY) Lithium has been trading at cyclical lows for months but leading mining journalist Kristie Batten says positive signs are emerging and analysts are beginning to focus on when the price recovery would start. In a Stockhead article ' Smart money bets on a lithium turnaround ' she wrote that a global survey of 90 institutional investors by London-based mining industry advisory firm Harbour found that roughly half were looking for upside exposure to the energy transition above anything else from equities in the natural resources space. Investors were asked which commodities were the most likely to see increased investment, with more than 80% across Australia, Canada, the US, UK and Europe citing gold as their top pick. While that isn't the least bit surprising, given where the price has gone, what jumped out was an enthusiasm for lithium, the price of which has gone in the opposite direction. The research found that lithium edged out copper as the second most likely commodity to attract investment in Australia (65%), Canada (59%), US (61%) and UK/Europe (63%). A report on the lithium sector from Argonaut last week pointed to positive demand drivers, Batten wrote, with electric vehicles being the early driver and battery energy storage systems growing in importance. Optimism surrounding lithium has resulted in some stocks running hot including bellwether Pilbara Minerals, which hit a two-week high of $1.41. Argosy Minerals (ASX:AGY) rose 53.9% to a daily high of 2.3c and closed at 1.8c after executing a spot sales contract with a Hong Kong-based chemical company for the sale of 60 tonnes of battery quality >99.5% lithium carbonate from its Rincon project in the 'Lithium Triangle' in Argentina. Argosy managing director Jerko Zuvela said 'We were pleased to receive such strong interest for the sale of our battery quality lithium carbonate product. "With our positive project fundamentals, we will be strong beneficiaries of the EV/lithium sector resurgence noting the significant development milestones achieved to date at our Rincon "We are delighted to be part of an exclusive group of battery quality lithium carbonate product exporters, given the challenges encountered by many of our peers attempting to achieve this feat.' Core Lithium (ASX:CXO) A lithium price slump victim has been Core Lithium and its Finniss hard-rock lithium project in the Northern Territory, 88km southwest from the Darwin Port. Early works at the BP33 deposit were suspended in late 2023, mining at Grants was suspended in January 2024 and processing in mid-2024, with all infrastructure placed on care and maintenance for any potential restart. A restart study completed in mid-May 2025 has repositioned Finniss as a highly attractive low-cost operation with a 20-year life of lean underground operations. The study outlines a high confidence production plan with 94% of the first 10 years backed by ore reserves and includes: Mining costs reduced by 40% to $63–$72/t (from $120/t); Processing costs cut by 33% to $40–$46/t(from $69/t); Unit operating costs of $690–$785/t (FOB, SC6 eq ex-royalties), placing Finniss among the most competitive global spodumene operations; and Concentrate production lifted 7% to ~205ktpa SC6 equivalent. 'The plan we've outlined capitalises on the project's strengths, including established infrastructure, high-grade ore bodies well-suited to low-cost underground mining and a process plant with proven recoveries and further scope for optimisation,' Core Lithium (ASX:CXO) CEO Paul Brown said. 'We've undertaken a rigorous, bottom-up review of every aspect of the operation. The study brings together our operating experience to deliver a plan that is more robust, more efficient and built for the long term. 'At BP33, we are developing a large-scale underground mine. Grants will shift to underground mining, cutting costs and doubling its mine life. Carlton will use Grants' surface infrastructure, supporting a 20 year mine life. Blackbeard offers further potential to extend mine life and expand operations. 'Our plant upgrades will improve recovery and reduce contaminants, whilst keeping capital costs low. These improvements include enhanced screening with more affordable crushing and the addition of a gravity circuit. 'The study outlines a lower-cost, longer-life and scalable operating plan that generates free cash flow of $1.2 billion, representing a six-fold return on pre-production capital.' A Final Investment Decision for the restart remains subject to board approval and is contingent on market conditions and securing a suitable funding pathway. Optimism surrounding the Finniss restart and the lithium industry's future has seen shares as much as 18% higher to 10.5c. CXO closed at 9.9c with more than 61 million shares changing hands. Sunrise Energy Metals (ASX:SRL) It has been a big week for Sunrise Energy Metals - a $6 million placement finalised, $1.5m share purchase plan launched with strong initial uptake and high-grade scandium assays returned from its flagship Syerston project in Central West NSW. The assays saw shares increase to a 12-month high of $1.205, a lift of 34.64% on the previous close. From 65c on June 23, SRL has risen 85.4% in five days. A 125 hole RC drilling campaign totalling 3,589 drill metres in April and May 2025 had the aim of expanding the zones of higher-grade scandium at the Syerston deposit. More than half of the total 3,574 assays have been received from 49 drill holes, indicating multiple new areas of continuous, high-grade mineralisation. Significant intersections include: 7m at 884ppm Sc from 1m, including 3m at 1123ppm from 4m; 6m at 788ppm from 4m; 13m at 743ppm from 6m; 5m at 714ppm from 3m; and 7m at 666ppm from 4m. Once complete and released, all results from the drilling will be incorporated into an update to the Syerston resource estimate, which will underpin a feasibility study update. 'Recent drill results have identified further zones of continuous, high-grade scandium mineralisation within our Sunrise Mining Lease and they remain open in multiple directions,' Sunrise Energy Metals managing director Sam Riggall said 'These zones will form the basis of an initial multi-decade mine plan for our Syerston Scandium Project Feasibility Study, targeting rapid, low-cost development and production options, supported by one of the largest and highest-grade scandium resources in the world.' Red Mountain Mining (ASX:RMX) Australia's antimony hotspot is the New England region of northern NSW and one of the juniors looking to start producing the in-demand critical mineral is Red Mountain Mining, which hit a high of 1.5c, a lift of 67% on the previous close, with more than 110m shares changing hands. The boost came after the company returned high-grade antimony results from rock chip samples at Oaky Creek prospect in the Armidale project. Results from samples collected up to 500m along strike from historical workings include 28.34%, 28.33% and 16.38% Sb, which suggest potential for a large orogenic antimony mineral system. Shallow costeaning is planned to expose the bedrock beneath strong soil antimony anomalies with no visible outcrop while RMX also plans to undertake soil and rock chip sampling over the East Hills antimony and Horsley Station gold prospects in the southern portion of the project. Similar systems, such as Larvotto's (ASX:LRV) Hillgrove deposit, also in the Southern New England Orogen, typically also contain high-grade gold mineralisation. RMX has submitted a subset of the Oaky Creek rock chip samples for gold analysis by lead fire assay, with results expected in July. D3 Energy (ASX:D3E) South Africa is hungry for new energy sources and D3 Energy is taking steps to feed the demand with gas from its ER315 licence at Bloemskraal in the Free State with shares reaching 15c, a lift of 36.36% on the June 26 close, before closing at 14.5c This followed the company achieving increased flow rates at RBD03 following a well clean out. RBD03 flowed at an average gas flow rate of 201 Mscfd over the initial 7-day period, which was 35% higher than the previous flow rate measured before the well clean out. Total gas produced over the initial 7-day testing period was 1,396 Mscf and testing will continue for another seven days before the well will be shut in to analyse the pressure buildup data. The company undertook a multi-well production testing program at Bloemskraal last year which included RBD03, a gold exploration borehole drilled in 1982. Analysis of the initial production test in July and August last year showed indications that there may have been some obstructions or debris in the wellbore. A work over to clean out any obstructions was performed at RBD03 on May 7, 2025, and some issues were encountered with an historical undocumented hole size change curtailing operations. The well was nonetheless partially cleaned out and shut in to allow the reservoir pressure to build back up prior to retesting. This flow testing commenced on June 13, 2025, following the build-up period and the 7-day results demonstrate a 35% increase in the stabilised flow rate.
