galaxy s8 soon!!!
With a little over two weeks to wait until the official launch of the Samsung Galaxy S8, there isn't much time left for industry insiders to get their predictions in - and KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo certainly hasn't held back in his latest investor note, as seen by 9to5Google .
Ming-Chi Kuo has a good record for Apple hardware tips and so is worth listening to on the S8 too, even if you shouldn't take these details as set in stone just yet. First of all he nails down the on-sale date as April 21, which corroborates what we've previously heard .
As other insiders have said , Ming-Chi Kuo is predicting two size variants for the Galaxy S8, both running OLED displays and WQHD+ resolutions of 2,960 x 2,400 pixels. You'll be able to choose from a 5.8-inch model (with a 3,000mAh battery) and a 6.2-inch model (with a 3,500mAh battery) come launch day.
best play station console
We've come a long way since the days of the original PlayStation – from the PlayStation 2, to 3, to 4 and now the mid-generation Pro we've seen the console take many forms. That's not even mentioning all the slim variations that came between.
As many versions of the PlayStation we've seen, though, do you know about the console that almost became the very first PlayStation? Or rather, Play Station?
In fact, it was announced to the public back in 1991 … one day before Nintendo stabbed its partner in the back and announced a deal with Sony's rival Philips instead. It's one of the most amazing stories in gaming history, and one that has only become more intriguing over the last year with the discovery of a prototype Play Station console.
The SNES-CD or Super Disc, as it was called internally, was a planned collaboration between Sony and Nintendo to produce an add-on for the Super Nintendo, as well as a standalone console capable of running both Super Nintendo cartridges and Sony-made CD-ROM games.
Uneasy allies
Nintendo and Sony first linked up for the Super Nintendo itself, as Sony produced the S-SMP sound chip for the iconic 16-bit console. Ken Kutaragi, later known as "The Father of PlayStation," developed the chip in secret from his superiors, who didn't want anything to do with the video game business. Luckily, he was able to keep his job once they discovered his project – and when Nintendo began mulling a move to CD-ROMs, they came to him.
