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. It has previously been reported a number of times that Apple has been forced to cut iPhone X orders due to lower-than-expected demand, and this appears to have spread to 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 ...

No, that Android P render isn’t meant to resemble the Pixel 3, but it might anyway

-
Google I/O is past us and the next big Google event is the hardware show presumably coming this October, so the internet is just itching for a good Google Pixel 3 leak. So of course it has taken a render that Google knowingly and intentionally included in the Android P Developer Preview 2 to be a "leak" of the company's forthcoming flagship smartphone…Ready to try the Pixelbook? Anyone who follows Google in the slightest knows that's almost certainly not the case here. Google was well aware of what it was shipping with the second developer preview. This was absolutely not an accident; it's not the same as cases (as often happens in our APK Insight series, for instance) where Google has slipped up and included renders underneath the surface.To be clear, the render appears in the Settings app for Android's new gesture-based navigation, and most have been aware of it since the very hour that Google dropped the preview on I/O day. The fact that this story is makin…
