Switching to just the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for its Galaxy S23 family meant that Samsung had to bear a chipset expenditure that was in the billions, so it is unsurprising to learn that the Korean giant invested heavily in launching the Exynos 2400 that powers several Galaxy S24 variants. According to the latest report, Samsung will pursue a higher adoption of its own silicon as it aims to reduce these costs substantially.
Netflix's New Live-Action Manga Adaptation Has Fans Upset After Poster Drops

The release date and poster for Netflix's live-action adaptation of Parasyte have just been announced. However, fans are not as excited as initially expected.
Netflix's new live-action adaptation, Parasyte: The Grey, has been in development for some time. Initial news came out in mid-2022, with an anticipated premiere a year later, which, unfortunately, did not happen. Since then, fans have been speculating about the adaptation's premise.
Netflix has finally announced Parasyte: The Grey will premiere on April 5. Along with this news, they also released the poster for the upcoming release. However, the poster only seemed to confirm fans' theories, leading to mixed reviews. Fans have quickly expressed their opinions on the Parasyte subreddit regarding the news. «I’m not even sold on the poster… I’m not exactly optimistic but I’m hoping to be pleasantly surprised,» wrote u/DemiFiendRSA
Disappointed by the previous adaptation of the beloved Parastye manga, fans have voiced their skepticism about the upcoming Netflix production. As the first details emerge, fans have begun to speculate about the story's direction, and subsequent news only seems to confirm their suspicions. While the adaptation is meant to be based on Hitoshi Iwaaki's 1989 Parasyte manga, it is evident that the new series will take a different narrative path, drawing only loose inspiration from the source material. Manga and anime fans typically frown upon departing from the source material. The recent poster release has only solidified previous theories, revealing that the main protagonist will not be Shinichi Izumi but a girl named Su-in, portrayed by Jeon So-nee. Fans were disappointed by the news, especially as it excluded their favorite duo — Shinichi and Migi — from the adaptation.
The decision to transform the Parasyte adaptation into a Korean Drama, or K-drama, was quite a surprise. While fans were initially caught off guard by this news, many have expressed optimism, citing the Korean film industry's dedication to adaptations and praising the potential for impressive special effects that could bring the story to life. Additionally, fans were pleasantly surprised by the choice of director — Yeon Sang-ho (known for Train to Busan). With his esteemed reputation in the industry, many believe the Parasyte adaptation has the potential to be genuinely good. As a result, expectations are rising. Even Iwaaki himself expressed his excitement when the series was announced, saying, «I am most excited that this is ‘a new story’; while I am the author of the original manga, I could also be a member of the audience that experiences thrill and awe.»

Qualcomm Was Dependant On Samsung For 40 Percent Of Its Chipset Revenue In Q4 2023, Which May Be Bad News Going Forward
Samsung is regarded as a major smartphone chipset customer for Qualcomm, which is likely why the latter recently renewed a multi-year agreement with the Korean giant to use its Snapdragon silicon. However, it can become worrisome if one company depends on just one client to bring in 40 percent of the total revenue for a specific quarter, but according to the data shared for Q4 2023, Qualcomm appears to be too dependent on Samsung in this regard. We have witnessed on previous occasions that things can go from bad to worse if companies cannot diversify.
