Samsung, employees agree to 5.1 pc pay raise for 2024
Samsung’s management and its workers agreed to an average 5.1 per cent pay raise for the year, sources said on Friday.
Watch out as a gun disguised as a smartphone is likely to hit the US market soon for nearly $500 — an idea that the police find "bad from a safety perspective".
All that one needs to do is press the safety and the gun will be out of concealment, deploying a handle.
"It looks like something from James Bond, transforming from the size of your phone to a deadly weapon. But it's perfectly safe and for the public," a report in Fox45Now quoted Kirk Kjellberg, the creator of the "cell phone gun", as saying on Wednesday.

The idea of a concealed gun came to Kjellberg after an incident at a restaurant in his home state of Minnesota.
"I just decided there's probably gotta be a better way to carry and I was just looking around and noticed everyone had a smart phone so why not make a pistol that would look like that?" Kjellberg said.
He took a year engineering the gun and got an approval from the US' Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms.
However, a former US police officer and firearms instructor Jeff Pedro believes that it is unsafe and can lead to dangerous situations.
"Overall, my professional opinion is it's just a bad idea from a safety perspective and also from an access perspective the inability to get it out, get it functional in a rapid situation would be extremely difficult," Pedro said.
Kjellberg said the guns will be mass produced and should be available for purchase in a few months.
