Microsoft will test xCloud gaming over 5G in Korea
Photo by Nick Statt / The Verge
Microsoft is partnering up with SK Telecom to deliver its xCloud game streaming service over 5G in South Korea. The software giant is planning to start public previews of Project xCloud next month, and SK Telecom is now an “exclusive operating partner” of Microsoft’s cloud gaming service in Korea. 5G is a natural fit for services like xCloud, and once networks roll out worldwide with mmWave we should start to see some of the promises of latency reduction that will benefit cloud gaming services.
Some SK Telecom customers will be able to try out xCloud game streaming next month, over both LTE and 5G networks. Microsoft is currently focusing on trialing phone-based versions of xCloud in October, but the company has not yet revealed exact...

Puma’s first Wear OS smartwatch debuts in November for $275
Puma is launching its first smartwatch at IFA 2019 this week. The sports brand has teamed up with Fossil Group over the past 12 months to produce the wearable, which is powered by Wear OS and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset. The Puma smartwatch will include a 1.19-inch round AMOLED display, housed inside a cut-out nylon and aluminum 44mm case. Puma is naturally aiming this smartwatch at sports fans, and it will will be swimproof and lightweight at 0.06 pounds thanks to some cut outs on the side of the device to reduce its weight.
Puma’s smartwatch will include 4GB of storage and 512MB of RAM, which is the standard on most Wear OS watches. As this has the latest Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset, Puma is promising more than 24 hours of...

Samsung’s Galaxy Fold is launching in Korea on September 6th

Samsung revealed in July that it had made “improvements” to protect the Galaxy Fold’s screen, and now it’s giving us a firm release date for the foldable handset today. The updated Galaxy Fold will be available on September 6th in Korea, the company announced.
In the US it will arrive “in the coming weeks,” according to another press release. It has been rumored that it would launch in the US on September 27th, but we haven’t had that confirmed by Samsung yet.
Samsung is also offering a new thing it’s calling “Galaxy Fold Premier Service,” though details on what exactly it is are vague beyond “direct access to Samsung experts who can provide you tailored guidance and support over the phone any time, any day. This includes an optional...

As Dorian threatens real destruction, Trump pushes a fantasy forecast
Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images
After badly battering the Bahamas, Hurricane Dorian is making its way up the Atlantic coast of the US — but President Trump is still inexplicably calling attention inland to Alabama, a state that is nowhere near the hurricane’s current path. On September 4th, he tweeted a video of himself with a doctored National Hurricane Center map in hand, saying Dorian “could’ve, uh, was going towards the Gulf.” Trump pointed to what looked like a bubble drawn over Alabama in black sharpie to indicate that the state had at one point been in the path of the storm.
It was not. Although the trajectory of the storm shifted rapidly over the past week, the National Hurricane Center never released a forecast showing that chunk of Alabama in danger of being...

Acer’s $14,000 Predator Thronos Air gaming chair is ready to take over your living room
Acer unveiled its crazy Thronos gaming chair at IFA last year, and it’s back this year with a less motorized version. The Predator Thronos Air, yes that’s Air like MacBook Air, is designed to be a little more affordable over the $20,000 original. It ditches the automatic motorized monitor arm in favor of a manually adjustable one, but it keeps the same giant steel structure that supports up to three displays to encase you into this gaming chair.
The changes bring the price down to $13,999, which is still an incredible amount of money to spend on a gaming chair, but the lack of motorization does make it slightly less crazy than last year’s model. The desk included with the chair still features an adjustable keyboard and mouse tray that...

Acer’s laptops for creators updated with latest Quadro graphics cards
Photo by Becca Farsace / The Verge
Acer unveiled its range of premium ConceptD laptops for creators earlier this year, and now the company is already refreshing them with Nvidia’s latest Quadro GPUs. The flagship device, the ConceptD 9 Pro, is now an RTX Studio laptop with a 17.3-inch 4K display, up to Quadro RTX 5000 GPU, and 32GB of RAM. The previous model used an RTX 2080 GPU, and the hinge was similar to Acer’s Predator Triton 900 gaming PC, making it more of a gaming laptop than one specifically targeted at creators. The addition of a Quadro GPU and Nvidia’s focus on RTX Studio laptops with Creator-Ready Drivers makes it much more aligned with the video and photo editing workflows of many creators.
While the main market is heavy video editing and creators, Acer is...

Audio-Technica takes its second swing at true wireless earbuds

One year after Audio-Technica announced its first somewhat underwhelming pairs of true wireless earbuds, the company is back with two fresh attempts: the ATH-CKS5TW and ATH-CKS3TW. This time around, battery life has been improved, both pairs now charge over USB-C, and they’re also a lot cheaper. The ATH-CKS5TW cost $149 (or £149 in the UK), while the ATH-CKS3TW are $99 (£99).
Although both pairs of earbuds now have IPX2 splash resistance and better background noise reduction, there are a couple of differences between the two that justify the price disparity:
- Battery life is better with the ATH-CKS5TWs: 15 hours from the earbuds themselves, plus 30 more from the case. With the cheaper ATH-CKS3TWs, you get just six hours from the earbuds...

Unfortunately, that’s the only thing Nikon has to say about the D6 right now, beyond the photo above which confirms it’ll look basically identical to the D5 (and the D4) from the front.

Two of these configurations have 15W TDP processors, which would worry me, if not for the fact that they are also equipped with the Nvidia GTX 1650 discrete GPU by default. This year’s Blade Stealth is especially adept at playing graphically intensive games at fluid frame rates. According to Nvidia, that card can run Apex Legends at max settings, and during my time with this machine, it ripped and tore through Doom (2016) at a steady 60 frames per second on 1080p, with all of the graphical settings turned up to ultra....

Samsung’s cheaper, thinner, and ‘square’ foldable reportedly coming next year
The internal display on the Galaxy Fold. | Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge
Samsung is on the cusp of finally releasing its long delayed Galaxy Fold and already rumors are picking up about a second Samsung foldable set to launch next year. Bloomberg reports that the new Samsung smartphone is built around a 6.7-inch display that folds inward to form an easily pocketable “square.” It’s supposed to be more affordable and thinner than the Fold, with a single hole-punch camera on the inside, and two more cameras on the outside. Samsung is also said to be collaborating with designer Thom Browne to help broaden the device’s appeal beyond gadget nerds.
The device sounds similar to the upcoming foldable Motorola RAZR being developed by Lenovo. In March, Bloomberg said that Samsung was working on a clamshell-styled...

Samsung’s Galaxy A90 5G is a mid-range phone with next-gen speeds
Most 5G phones we’ve seen so far have been variants of products at the top end of manufacturers’ lineups: see the Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G, the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G, and so on. Samsung’s latest 5G phone, however, is the Galaxy A90 5G, which means it fits into its mid-range Galaxy A lineup below phones like the S10 and Note 10.
Samsung has recently released other Galaxy A models that focus on high-end features like quad-camera systems and flip-up camera mechanisms as part of a strategy to combat aggressively competitive Chinese manufacturers. And to be clear, the Galaxy A90 5G would have seemed like a very high-end phone at the beginning of this year, and still has a more than solid spec sheet. 5G connectivity and Samsung DeX support aside,...

Huawei confirms Mate 30 will land on September 19th

Huawei has confirmed the launch date for its next flagship phone line. In a short teaser video posted to Twitter, the company says that the upcoming Mate 30 series will be unveiled in Munich, Germany on September 19th. The tagline for the event is “Rethink Possibilities.”

We called the Mate 20 Pro “the best phone America can’t get” last year, but it would have been significantly less jealousy-inducing with that caveat.
Did you get it right? The countdown to #HuaweiMate30 starts now!
We're going full...
