Samsung's Galaxy Ring is the best smart ring, for whatever that's worth

Is the Samsung Galaxy Ring a replacement for your smartwatch or an accessory for it? The latter is how Samsung has decided to position its first smart ring, pitching hard that it’s at its best alongside a Galaxy Watch. It’s an ecosystem play that somewhat misses the point - and the appeal - of a fitness tracker small enough to slot onto your finger. It also undersells the Galaxy Ring, which does just as well as key rivals from Oura or Ultrahuman at monitoring your health, recording your workouts, and tracking your sleep.

MediaTek goes big on its 8 Gen 3-rivalling Dimensity 9300

Two weeks after Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, it’s chipset rival MediaTek’s turn to respond with the similarly-specced Dimensity 9300.

iPhone 8 Plus review

Another year, another iPhone. Except this year, the 8 and 8 Plus aren’t the stars of the show - they were overshadowed at their own launch event by their bezel-less brother, the iPhone X. Compared to the X, with its fairly radical redesign, the 8 and 8 Plus run the risk of looking a little dull, a bit been-there-done-that. But is that a fair assessment of Apple’s latest iPhone iteration, or is X-envy masking a solid step forward for Cupertino?
