-
Google Measure is a digital tape measure app that up until now was exclusive to Tango-enabled phones, but since Google dropped support for the AR platform in March, the app is now available to all ARCore-supported devices.

ARCore is Google's new augmented reality platform and it has a much broader scope, in that it's supposed to work on as many phones as possible, instead of on just a few devices with specialized hardware.

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.
