Report says Samsung Pay is most-used mobile payments app in South Korea

With an average usage of 41 times per user, Samsung Pay was the top mobile payments app last month in South Korea, according to a local app ranker WiseApp.
It's worth mentioning that the research only took into account Android phone users as iOS usage is said to be pretty low in South Korea. Samsung Pay has a total of 2.59 million users in the country.
The service - which is currently available in the US, South Korea, and China, and due to arrive in Singapore this quarter - had a total of 5 million users globally in February.

Batman: Arkham City Review Sometimes reviewers can't see the forest for the trees. When I finished Batman: Arkham City , I immediately cataloged what I thought it did wrong. It tossed in too many villains and didn't flesh them out, it clearly tried to replicate the Scarecrow stuff from the first game and didn't do it as well, and Batman still moves a bit stiffly when simply walking around. When I formed the list, I found myself disappointed with the game. But the days rolled on and I couldn't stop playing -- in fact, I only wanted to play more. The hundreds of things Batman: Arkham City nails outweighed my nitpicky problems. I realized Batman: Arkham City is a brilliant game -- a brilliant game that's even better on PC. Yes, more than a month after the consoles got Batman: Arkham City, developer Rocksteady's baby has landed on the PC. The core experience is the same as the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, but the gra...

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Review

Image
Impressively, it's exactly the same game on Wii U and 3DS - but is it worth your time on either? Every time a new Monster Hunter games comes out, I think: surely, I must be done with this now. After several hundred hours over at least three versions, I’m not going to get sucked in again. But I do, every time. It's because Monster Hunter’s world is so absorbing, and the gentle rhythm of prepare, hunt, and collect is so innately satisfying. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is the slickest game in the series to date, and it’s an ideal introduction to the hugely enjoyable business of cooperative monster-slaying. The basic idea is to venture out into the wilds, find an impressive monster, kill it, and then make hats and swords out of its entrails – but there’s a lot more to it than that. There are 12 weapons, hundreds of items, and more than 100 hours’ worth of quests, but it’s the thrill of the chase and the addictive rush of hard-earned victory that continually hooks...

OnePlus One is the first smartphone to record in DCI 4K, check it out in action

Image
4K video recording has started to become a staple feature of all the flagship Android smartphone these days. But the version of 4K that these phones record in is the UHD resolution, or the ones used by 4K televisions, and is exactly four times the resolution of full HD. But there is another version of 4K and that is DCI 4K, which is what the professional cinema cameras use while recording in 4K. The difference here is the added width; whereas UHD is 3840×2160, DCI 4K is 4096×2160. But while several smartphones record in UHD, the OnePlus One is the first to record in DCI 4K. What we have below is a sample video shot by Danny Winget. The video is stabilized using a tripod so you don’t get any of the usual shakiness that we see in smartphone videos, allowing you to concentrate on the quality of the video. And from what I can tell, the video looks gorgeous. Not only is it extremely high resolution, more than any other smartphone camera, but things like dynamic ...

PlayStation 4: The Coolest Stuff You Probably Didn’t Know

GDC reveals tantalizing tidbits about Sony’s next machine. While there have been morsels of PlayStation 4 information doled out since the console’s coming out party , Sony really hasn’t had the chance to speak at length about the product since February. At least, not until today. Here in San Francisco, Sony Computer Entertainment America Senior Staff Engineer Chris Norton hosted a Game Developers Conference panel titled “Developing for the PS4.” While a lot of the speech was heady technical stuff, there were some very interesting reveals. Here they are.   1 The PSN Friend Limit Is Increasing Norton said at the beginning of the conference, “Core gamers are our primary audience.” PS4 is going to serve that group by increasing the number of PlayStation Network friends from the current cap of 100 to… well, Norton didn’t say. He just sai...

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 catches fire on IndiGo flight

Image
Samsung is now investigating yet another fire caused by a Samsung phone, however, I wouldn’t put the blame on the phone just yet. We’ll get back to why in a moment. A new report came from India where a Samsung Galaxy Note II caught fire and began to smoke up a passenger-filled cabin while in flight on an IndiGo plane. This caused India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to soon issue and advisory to encourage passengers to turn off all Samsung Galaxy Note devices before taking off. ”We advise flyers to exercise caution while flying with Samsung Note devices. They should either keep these devices switched off or not travel with them,” In a statement, the airline said “A few passengers traveling on 6E-054 flight from Singapore to Chennai noticed the smoke smell in the cabin this morning… and immediately alerted the cabin crew on board,” Once notified, the crew reacted quickly and identified the smoke to come from an overhead bin around seat 23C of the a...
