The Galaxy A series has been a heavy-hitter for Samsung for quite some time now, and it has given us some amazing phones in the mid-range segment.

Best OnePlus 10 Pro screen protectors in 2023
Keep the OnePlus 10 Pro's curved screen safe from scratches, cracks, and more by grabbing one of these screen protectors.
The OnePlus 10 Pro isn't the latest phone on the block, but it's still available to purchase and is a solid phone to consider if you don't want to spend top dollars on a flagship. One of the best things about this particular phone is its durability. It sports a Gorilla Glass Victus panel on the front that protects the display from accidental drops and bumps. It is, however, glass at the end of the day, meaning it's bound to get scratched or cracked over time, depending on how clumsy you are.

Samsung's Bixby text call feature can answer calls and respond to people for you. I tried it on my Galaxy S23 and here's how it went.
It's been nearly six years since Samsung introduced us to Bixby — the latest in the long line of Samsung voice assistants. The company's software has evolved a lot over these six years to become one of the main reasons why we love Samsung phones today. Bixby, on the other hand, is yet to reach its final form. I can't say I am a huge fan of Bixby, but I launch it occasionally to see if it has learned some new tricks to catch up with other digital assistants.

How to pick a PC case: 5 things to consider while buying a chassis for your build
The PC case is the first and the most important thing to consider while building a PC. Here's how to pick a PC case for your next build.
