Over at PC Gaming Show, Samsung made an appearance amongst the array of brand new PC games to introduce their latest monitor, the 27 inch CRG5 240Hz curved gaming monitor. This monitor is unique, perfect for those who not only want an immersive gaming experience but also an edge when it comes to competitive gaming and first-person shooters.

Scandals involving heavily doctored photos of people is something commonly heard of nowadays. In the near future, it is likely that we’ll be seeing scandals and fake news involving videos thanks to Samsung’s deepfake AI development.

We’ve seen smartwatches do some of the things a smartphone can do but currently they need each other to work. Now, imagine a future where you only need a smartwatch to do all the things you need a smartphone to do. That is the future Samsung is envisioning.

Last December, Samsung announced a partnership with a popular skateboard brand, Supreme. However, it wasn’t the popular skateboard brand that everyone had in mind. It was a fake Supreme brand called “Supreme Italia”. After two months, finally, Samsung calls off the partnership.

Samsung has many plans in store for 2019. For starters, during SDC 2018 they announced the Infinity Flex Display and the new Samsung One UI which will be coming to their devices soon. And now, they’ve announced their latest most powerful chipset, which will likely be used in the 2019 models of their flagships besides adding in a new range of budget phones as well. 

Samsung Pay, which was previewed in partnership with Maybank roughly a month ago, will soon be officially launched in Malaysia on 24th February 2017.

What is Samsung Pay? It is a wallet-less mobile payment system, that allows payments to be made at card terminals using compatible Galaxy smartphones (Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge, Galaxy Note5, Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Galaxy A Series (2016) and Galaxy A Series (2017)). While it was initially available only to Maybank VISA card holders, with the official launch, Samsung Pay will finally be able to accept both Mastercard and VISA cards issued by CIMB, Citi, and Standard Chartered too!
