Samsung keeps gamers in mind with the Note10 and its new PlayGalaxy Link P2P streaming service. This platform will let you stream PC games to your Note10, allowing you to play while you're on the move. And since it streams the game, it doesn't take up storage on your phone. You can liken this to Valve's Steam Link, which is another PC-to-mobile game streaming service that's available on both Android and iOS.

Samsung pairs this with its AI-based Game Booster system, which optimizes performance and power consumption depending on the game you're playing. The Note10 is equipped with a vapor cooling chamber system to help prevent the phone from getting too warm when you play. And if you want to chat with your friends while you play, the Note10 gets Discord integration via Samsung's game launcher.

'Halo' TV casts Natascha McElhone as Cortana

This newest adaptation of Halo as a TV series will be including Windows' own Cortana AI. Natascha McElhone will be playing the AI as well as Dr. Catherine Halsey, who created the Spartan super-soldiers like Master Chief. It was announced back in April that American Gods' Pablo Schreiber will be taking on the role of Master Chief. Other cast members include Fargo's Bookem Woodbine as Soren-066 and Shabana Azmi as Office of Naval Intelligence head Admiral Margaret Parangosky.

Showtime's Halo won't go into production until later this year, and it's expected to go to air sometime within the first quarter of 2021. The series follows the game series' story of the war between humanity and the Covenant, an alliance of alien races bound by religious zealotry.

In the early days of the Galaxy Note line, the stylus or the S Pen, as we now know it, was just a stylus. But just like its phones, the S Pen had to evolve. And Samsung's response was to make it seem like a magic wand—on top of it functioning as a stylus. As Engadget calls it, this has been a poorly kept secret. But the S Pen now supports gesture controls, or what Samsung calls Air Actions. It improves on the remote control function of the Note9's S Pen by letting you control the phone with a wave of the stylus.
