Samsung Pay is off to a robust start in Korea with $30 million in transactions in the first month

Samsung revealed that Samsung Pay is off to a robust start in Korea. The Korean giant’s recently announced payment service has raked in $30 million in transactions in the first month after its launch.
Thanks to wide acceptance among local businesses, Samsung Pay accumulated more than 1.5 million transactions through September 20. Curiously, 60% of all payments have been made by the Samsung Galaxy Note5.
Samsung Pay will launch in the United States in less than a week, on September 28. The tech giant has plans to roll out the service in the United Kingdom, China, and Spain in the near future.

Google's Pixel event: What to expect

Android turned 8 just a few days ago and the Hiroshi Lockheimer (SVP of Android, Chrome OS and Play) teased that "from now we'll be talking about Oct 4, 2016." What's the big deal? Here's the rumor roundup, much of which has been confirmed by several solid leaks. Pixel phones It seems that the Nexus line is rebranding to Pixel and which company better-suited to build the new devices than HTC - the company that built the first Nexus One (also the first Android). Two phones - the 5" Pixel and 5.5" Pixel XL - will bring Google Magic (this isn't a metaphor, the advertised feature likely relates to the Google Assistant). Both will share most of their features - from the new version of Nougat (Android 7.1), through chipset (Snapdragon 821) and storage options (32GB or 128GB, don't believe the microSD rumors). The cameras will be updated versions of the excellent 12MP shooters on the current Nexus phones and there will be 8MP front...

Oppo R9, iPhone 6s lead offline sales in China

Image
Nowadays most of us tend to do our tech shopping online, or if not that, at least the research and price hunting part. It is just way more convenient that way. However, there will always be a place underneath the sum for brick and mortar stores, especially when in comes to handsets - a product most prospective buyers typically wish to physically check out before taking home. We mention this primarily to prove a point when saying that offline sales still matter and tracking them is not only as important as those done online, but also sufficiently more difficult. That being said, we bring forth to your attention the latest sales data from China's offline smartphone retailers, gathered by the independent market research firm Sino-MR. It seems to show at least a few interesting trends, but above all provides some hard evidence to back up Oppo's recurring lofty claims on Oppo F1 Plus sales numbers. The Chinese manufacturer has mentioned time and time ag...

Apple confident iPhone 6s duo will beat 10M sales record

Image
The new iPhones 6s and 6s Plus are selling like crazy even before they are officially available. This hardly comes as a surprise, but a new company statement offers a little perspective as to how well preorders are actually going and states that at this rate last-year's records will be broken.
