For those wondering, refurbished smartphones are a part of the same circular economy that includes trade-in programs. In fact, analysts have mentioned that trade-ins happen to be the fastest-growing source for pre-owned smartphone stocks. Samsung Can Slowly End Up Overtaking Apple in Refurbished Smartphone Market Even then, new smartphone shipments saw a 4.5% growth YoY in 2021, while the refurbished smartphone market saw a healthy 15% growth. Now, Counterpoint Research credits this shift in the market towards refurbished devices to high flagship smartphone prices along with more willingness that is found among the consumers to consider getting their hands on refurbished devices from brands such as Apple and Samsung....

The presentation starts with a better look at how Resident Evil Village plays in third person (and the lengths Capcom is going to still not show Ethan Winters’ face). As for Shadows of Rose, as we’ve already learned, it place within a twisted world inside the consciousness of the Megamycete mold. Per Capcom, the expansion will balance more dangerous enemies, many of which can kill you with one hit, with greater powers for Rose herself....

Speaking with Dengeki during Tokyo Game Show 2022 last week, director Kento Kinoshita commented on both first and third-person view, saying that, while first-person made the experiences scarier, it may have made them more difficult to play, as some players did not like not seeing their character on screen or having a hard time telling where enemies are. For this reason, a third-person option will be added to eighth main entry in the series as DLC....

Korean chaebol Samsung Group’s de-facto head Mr. Lee Jae-yong is set to visit Europe for a two-week trip speculated by many to be part of the company’s effort to use its financial strength to limit its primary chipmaking rival the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). Samsung and TSMC are the only two companies in the world that manufacture high end semiconductor products, and the latter is in a dominant position worldwide due to its large orders and stable progress....

There is still no word on whether the 4th beta will be the last one but given the current stability and status of the One UI 5.0 in 3rd beta, things are looking good. Samsung’s Dedication to Releasing Timely Updates Shows With One UI 5....

For my brief hands-on with Soul Hackers 2, I picked up the controller as a Ringo already around level 15, indicating that this was well after the combat and fusion tutorials that introduced this specific title. My Atlus guide wanted to emphasize that the cast of Soul Hackers 2 is aged up and well out of high school. When taking some free time to speak with your fellow party members and build a rapport (Soul levels mark this title’s version of Confidants and Social links), the party member I spoke with shared a few choice words regarding beer and their drinks of choice....

SpaceX’s chief Mr. Elon Musk has shared that his company spent millions of dollars to ship Starlink user terminals to Ukraine to help locals with Internet connectivity during the ongoing Russian invasion. Russian forces decapacitated Ukraine’s connectivity infrastructure during the early phases of the war, and soon Musk’s SpaceX shipped the dishes to Ukraine according to a Ukrainian government official. This drew the executive some flak from none other than the former head of Russia’s space agency Roscosmos, and in a reply to coverage by the Washington Post stating that the U....

Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) has shared breathtaking footage of the company’s Falcon 9 rocket. The footage is from SpaceX’s recent launch for the Italian Space Agency, which saw the company launch the COSMO-SkyMed earth observation satellite. The footage marks a rare occasion where color and high-definition views of the Falcon 9’s two separate stages separating were captured during flight, as SpaceX managed to land the first stage booster on land as opposed to on its traditional sea-based platforms....

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly following the game’s official reveal at The Game Awards 2022 show, actor Cameron Monaghan, who plays main character Cal Kestis, commented on his character’s journey up to the start of the new game, saying that the story will be darker and more challenging than in the original game, as it explores the changes on Cal’s worldview and on how he interacts with others following years of fighting in a desperate situation....

Users of SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service have once again started to report internet download speeds that comfortably lie in the hundreds. Starlink uses low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites to beam down internet connectivity to its users, and since it was opened to the general public, the service has seen hundreds of thousands of users sign up to use it. At the same time, Starlink has exceeded performance against broadband internet providers in most of the countries in which it provides services, but its American users have also experienced deteriorating speeds as the rate of new spacecraft launched through SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and the growth in U....

A metaverse video game and cryptocurrency inspired by SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet constellation made the news earlier this week after it was part of a research report covering metaverses and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The STARL metaverse is a project that is built around the cryptocurrency STARL, which soared to record highs late last year but is struggling at historic low levels since the cryptocurrency market crash of 2022. STARL is one of the many metaverses out there that aim to provide their users with a digital platform to play video games, make transactions and interact with each other....

Our own Francesco De Meo wrote in his preview: Back when Street Fighter 6 was revealed, I wasn’t completely sold on it, but my two days with the closed beta completely changed my opinion of the game. The colorful, hip-hop-influenced aesthetics look great in motion, although some character animations are still a little rough. Mostly, though, the new gameplay mechanics and the cast’s combat design have made my 15 hours or so with the beta a joy and have made the wait for the full game way harder....

After last month’s Superman Unreal Engine 5 gameplay demo, based on Epic’s official The Matrix Awakens demo, and the more recent downloadable Spider-Man tech demo, we now have vengeance itself running in Epic’s new game engine – The Batman. Like the previous tech demos, this new Batman demo is using the Megacity environment from Epic’s The Matrix Awakens experience, complete with some basic combat maneuvers and cloth physics. You can check out the demo created by YouTuber and artist ‘JSFILMZ’ down below:...

You can watch the trailer below: As you can see from the trailer, the game will have no shortage of eldritch abominations trying to hunt you down. The Chant’s literal take on “fighting your inner demons” is showing itself with demons that are not going to pull their punches (quite literally) as there seem to be executions ala Dead Space and The Callisto Protocol. So, the monstrosities have become all the more threatening....
