In recent weeks we've seen a steady trickle of leaks about the Samsung Galaxy S10, even though it's not scheduled to launch until next year. The latest word on the Samsung street is that the S10 is going to use ultrasonic fingerprint scanning technology rather than the standard optical – but the bigger question is, will it be embedded into the front display?

Nathan Fillion in action

For a long time, fans of the Uncharted video game series have wanted to see Firefly's Nathan Fillion in a big screen adaptation. That doesn't appear as if it's going to happen, unfortunately, so a group of fans have put together a 15-minute short featuring the actor instead – and it's actually really good. You can check it out in full via the link below.

Will we get flying cars or self-driving cars first? Or both? A new concept being shown off by Rolls-Royce sticks to the flying aspect, but the vertical take-off and landing (EVTOL) vehicle is electric too – the company says it would be able to get up to around 250 mph in the air and carry four or five passengers. We might even see it in action during the 2020s.
