At a Glance Our Verdict The Galaxy S8 Plus is £90 more expensive than its smaller brother, thanks to a slightly larger screen and a higher-capacity battery. You can expect the two to roughly cancel each other out in terms of runtime, so choose the Plus over the standard model only if: a) you can afford it, and b| you want a larger screen.

Samsung is envisioning giving wearers of its Galaxy Ring advanced Minority Report-like powers not seen on a smart ring before. No, we’re not talking about the ability of precognition – though that would be cool – but rather those fancy air gestures that Tom Cruise uses to control his futuristic computer system in Steven Spielberg’s 2002 sci-fi classic. A recently published Samsung patent (via 91mobiles ) reveals that the South Korean company is looking into giving smart ring wearers the ability to control the flow of data between its various devices....

The rotating bezel was, for so long, a simple yet well-executed feature that set Samsung’s smartwatches apart from the smartwatch crowd. When Samsung ditched its own Tizen OS for another stab at Google WearOS, that much-loved bezel started to feel less of a fixture when it came to interacting with Samsung’s smartwatches. Samsung even moved to offer a digital bezel alternative that simply didn’t offer that same satisfying feeling of twisting a physical one....

Samsung might be responsible for some of the most well-known Android flagships, but the company doesn’t only focus on high-end devices.

And with the Galaxy A35 and A55 now official, here’s everything you need to know about the cheaper model. When was the Samsung Galaxy A35 released?...

Samsung has been trying to catch up with the competition with its own Exynos chipsets for years, but with mixed results. The Exynos 2200 in the Galaxy S22 series was not met with a warm welcome, mainly because it caused the device to get very hot. This is probably why Samsung decided to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in the Galaxy S23 series and skip the Exynos 2300. However, the next attempt came with the Exynos 2400 in the Galaxy S24 series ....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict If you watch a lot of films and TV on your phone and want a good-performing phone with no notch then the Xperia 10 Plus is a decent mid-range option. There’s zero wow factor here, though. It’s also quite expensive for the performance and build quality – if you’re not fussed by the odd 21:9 aspect ratio then you should save money and get the Moto G7 Plus or much more powerful Pocophone F1 instead....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict At this price point you’d struggle to find a better pair of wireless earbuds than the Sound Liberty 79. Audio performance is impressive and the huge battery life means you won’t need to interrupt your listening sessions very often.
