SK Telecom is holding an activation event at the 'Jonggak T World' store to commemorate the launch of the 'Galaxy S8'.
The Jonggak T World store offers plenty to see. The entire building where the store is located is wrapped with the Galaxy S8 event theme and the SK Telecom 5G slogan (Welcome to 5G Korea) image.
SK Telecom will display its self-developed futuristic connected car 'T5' outside the store and invite Yuna Kim to present the first customer award and hold an autograph session.
SK Telecom will provide the first customer with a Samsung SUHD TV worth a total of 5 million won and a Lineage 2 Revolution item purchase voucher. Customers 2 through 8 will receive Samsung laptops, travel vouchers, electric bicycles, etc., while customers 9 through 100 will receive generous prizes through an on-site raffle.
The first customer, who set the all-time longest waiting record of 5 nights and 6 days, is also a major point of interest in this event. The first customer became a hot topic on social media and online during the 6-day waiting period.
According to the results of the pre-order sales at SK Telecom's official online store 'T World Direct', the most popular model and color were the Galaxy S8 Plus 128GB and Black, respectively. The representative customer group consisted of men in their 30s, accounting for one-third of the total.
SK Telecom’s Head of Service Division, Lee In-chan, emphasized, “The achievement of 20 million units in sales for the domestic No. 1 Galaxy series is all thanks to the love of our customers,” adding, “We will continue to do our best to provide services that are recognized by our customers.”

ESP32 Development Environment Selection and GPS Application Implementation
The ESP32 is a microcontroller that integrates Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 12-bit ADC, capacitive touch, PWM, DAC, and UART in a single SoC. However, the abundance of features does not by itself solve the designer's problems. The real challenges lie in selecting the appropriate development environment, determining which pins can be used and which must be avoided, and converting raw data from modules into usable information. This document addresses ESP32 peripheral constraints (ADC2 and Wi-Fi coexistence limitation, UART1 occupancy, ADC non-linear regions), the trade-offs between Arduino IDE and ESP-IDF, and the process from connecting NEO-6M/NEO-M8N GPS modules to UART2, parsing NMEA sentences, and visualizing routes in Google Earth, all organized based on documented references.

MIPI CSI-2, DSI-2, C-PHY, D-PHY Test Solution Technical White Paper
The MIPI interface adopts a burst mode that transitions between low-power (LP) and high-speed (HS) states for low-power consumption, and in return, strict timing rules are imposed on state transitions. Additionally, the high-speed section operates as a packet-based protocol with headers, ECC, and CRC, so verification engineers must handle waveforms and protocols simultaneously. Traditional configurations combining general-purpose oscilloscopes and AWGs reveal limitations in setup complexity, measurement uncertainty, and lack of reproducibility when faced with these requirements. This white paper, based on webinar materials, organizes the structure of this problem and describes how the SV5C-DPTXCPTX generator for receiver testing and SV5C-DPRXCPRX analyzer for transmitter testing integrate state transition testing, stressed eye testing, and protocol analysis into a single bench, along with their application boundaries.
