Samsung's Galaxy S9 sales hit record-lows in South Korea, iPhone X too

-
A new report claims the latest flagships from Samsung and Apple are seeing record-low sales in South Korea.

Unfortunately for Samsung, however, its brand also appears to be tackling weak demand.

According to the data obtained by ET News, Apple managed to shift just 475,000 units of the iPhone X via the major South Korean carriers over the course of its first four months, with a peak of 163,000 devices in December ...

Try Galaxy Note 10’s PC game streaming feature on other Galaxy phones!

-
The Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ come with a slew of new software features, and one of those is the ability to stream PC games over a Wi-Fi or mobile data connection. Samsung's PlayGalaxy Link app for the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ will launch sometime in September and is based on streaming technology from Parsec, a New York-based cloud gaming start-up. And thanks to Parsec's own Android app, you can try out the Note 10's game streaming feature on other Galaxy devices as well.How is Parsec's streaming technology different than popular services like Steam Link or Moonlight Streaming? Well, as mentioned above, Parsec works with both Wi-Fi and mobile data connections, whereas other game streaming services require your phone and PC to be on the same local network. And we're assuming that is why Samsung went with Parsec's tech for the PlayGalaxy Link feature instead of sticking to a modified version of Steam Link that it launched last year. You know, to show off how…
