Samsung is mulling over making you pay a subscription fee for certain core Galaxy Watch features. In an interview with Samsung’s head of digital health, Dr Hon Pak, the company apparently told CNET that it was exploring a premium subscription model like that of rivals services Fitbit Premium and Garmin new Connect Plus. This would seemingly only be for so-called ‘advanced coaching features’. Access to these might also be free for newer devices – such as the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 – leaving owners of older Galaxy Watch devices – potentially including the current Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 – to pick up the subscription slack....

Apple’s iPhone 11 range offered impressive battery gains compared to the iPhone XS range when it was first launched back in 2019, with the Pro model offering 4 hours of extra battery life compared to its predecessor. But, over time, batteries degrade, and iPhone 11 owners might now find their smartphones aren’t lasting quite as long as they once did. You can carry a spare battery pack around with you (check out our recommended best power banks ), but that can be cumbersome and entail loose cables, etc, or you could go down the pricey upgrade route and pick up the iPhone 13 , boasting even better battery life than the 11 ever did....

As great as your smartphone is, it will soon run out of power and be useless. This is less of a problem when you’re near a power point with the right cable and charger, but a disaster if you’re on the move and without a charger or nearby power socket. Unless you rarely leave your house, you need to carry in your bag or purse a handy power bank that can deliver immediate power to the fading phone and keep you going until you are back at base....

USB flash drives were once ubiquitous, the default way of transferring files between devices or taking them from place to place. That’s changed a bit as internet speeds have improved, not to mention cloud storage and file transfer services like Dropbox or Google Drive have boomed in popularity, but there’s still a place for the humble USB stick in many people’s lives. Whether it’s the reliability of having your files in a single place (and not reliant on an internet connection), the security that comes from knowing someone would need physical access to the device to get at your files, or just the fact that USB sticks support file sizes that most cloud services would baulk at, there are plenty of good reasons to keep a USB drive or two to hand....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict We like the compact design of the Brother DCP-J562DW, and its print quality for text and graphics is good for a printer in this price range. However, photo output could be better and the expensive ink cartridges will sting you in the long run. Rivals such as Epson and HP have done a lot recently to reduce the running costs for their printers, so Brother needs to do more to keep up with innovations such as Epson’s high-capacity Ecotank printers or HP’s Instant Ink subscription scheme....
