Samsung is preparing to show off a few upcoming products today. Alongside the expected Galaxy S10, S10+ and S10e, we might get another peek at the company's foldable phone. And hey, maybe that Bixby speaker will finally get a release date — I know you're all waiting with bated breath for that one.
Read MoreGuests can now join live Periscope broadcasts
In case you've forgotten about it, Periscope is Twitter's somewhat-unpopular streaming platform designed for use on iOS and Android devices.
