Deal of the Day: Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro earbuds are at their lowest price ever
Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are the brand's premium wireless earbuds. They are comfortable and sound excellent, similar to other earbuds like the Apple AirPods Pro 2 and Google Pixel Buds Pro 2, in my experience. They stand out with stylish design touches like a slightly transparent case and subtle lights on the earbuds themselves. They are also IP57 dust and water resistant — that's a much higher rating than Apple AirPods (IPX4) and Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 (IP54).
Battery life is just okay at six hours with noise-cancelling on, seven with it off. The charging case brings the total up to 26 hours.

Tech experts issue 'juice jacking' warning to never share your phone charger
While asking for a charger from a stranger may seem harmless, it might be something you regret. Technology experts are warning the public against ever accepting a phone charging cable from a stranger. While it may seem a harmless and generous gesture for someone to offer you a charger when you're low on juice, it may actually put your personal information and data at risk. Malicious charging cables are a fast-growing threat facing mobile users, according to security professionals, and it's one that many of us aren't aware of. Known as 'juice jacking', hackers can steal everything from your passwords to your personal photos and information using cables that look identical to legitimate phone chargers. While tampered public charging stations were already a commonly known tech threat, fraudsters have now evolved to target vulnerable individuals with low phone charge when they're out in public. Criminals are creating cables that look identical to genuine Apple or Android products but contain hidden computer chips capable of logging keystrokes, stealing credentials, and even providing remote access to your device. A tech expert from Outplayed explains: "The sophistication of these attacks has reached a truly alarming level. "There's been a massive increase in these cables that are virtually indistinguishable from legitimate Apple products, yet they're essentially miniature computers designed to harvest your data." The USB technology that powers your gadget is also responsible for handling data transfer in your device, which hackers can exploit. When you plug into a malicious cable, it can automatically access your device's contents, often bypassing the security prompts that would normally alert you to data transfer attempts, explained the expert. And that's not all. Recent developments have made these cyber attacks even more dangerous through 'choice jacking' techniques, which can actually confirm data transfer permissions on your behalf without any user interaction. This means even built-in security measures can be dodged by sophisticated malicious hardware used by the cyber crooks. The expert adds: "What makes this particularly concerning is that these cables function perfectly as chargers. "Victims often have no idea they've been compromised until it's too late. The cable charges your phone normally while secretly communicating with attackers over Wi-Fi in the background." It's vital to remain vigilant, as these attacks can happen anywhere– from borrowing a cable at work to using one offered by a well-meaning friend at a coffee shop. Some malicious cables can even simulate keyboard inputs, effectively typing commands into your phone without your knowledge. The security professionals advise phone owners to always use their own charging cable and adapter, especially in public spaces like airports or hotels. If you must charge in public, stick to wall outlets with your own equipment rather than USB charging stations. For added security, consider investing in a USB data blocker - a cheap adapter that physically prevents data transfer while allowing charging current to flow. These small devices create a barrier between your phone and potentially malicious cables. If you're looking to invest in one, there are plenty of options, such as this ' anti-juice jacker ' on Amazon for a tenner, or this one on Currys for £3.99. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Android fans rush to buy Samsung Galaxy S10 for £90 off in online deal
This Wowcher deal will open shoppers up to a 'Galaxy of possibilities'. While tech companies continue to release new smartphones with the latest features and fastest chips, many of these devices aren't affordable for the everyday buyer. As a result, many people are turning to older and refurbished models that cost a fraction of the price. Buying refurbished tech is also better for the planet and it means that less phones are ending up in landfills, as they have been worked on by experts to bring them back to their out of box quality. If shoppers don't mind a little bit of cosmetic wear, then a refurbished smartphone may be an ideal choice for the future. For fans of Android, Wowcher currently has a cracking deal on the Samsung Galaxy S10, which was released in 2019. Normally priced at £225, shoppers can now snap it up for £135 - saving £80 in your bank account. Boasting a 6.1-icnh Infinity-O Dynamic AMOLED display, the Samsung Galaxy S10 offers vibrant colours and HDR10+ brilliance to make scrolling through social media, playing games or catching up on your latest binge watch an 'unparalleled' experience. This smartphone is also equipped with a pro-grade triple camera system, which features a 16MP ultra-wide lens to allow users to take stunning photos. Also powered by Snapdragon 855 and featuring 8GB of RAM, this nifty piece of tech provides seamless multitasking and gaming, reports the Liverpool Echo. Another great feature this phone is equipped with is wireless powershare. This allows users to effortlessly share power with their friends through reverse wireless charging - the first phone in the Samsung Galaxy range to have this ability. Samsung Galaxy S10 £225 £135 Wowcher Buy Now Product Description Alternatively, for shoppers wanting an Android phone that is more up-to-date, Argos is selling the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE 5G 128GB fat its 'lowest price ever'. Selling for £499.99 outright, this smartphone is equipped with a variety of AI features such as Photo Assist. For shoppers who are fans of Apple, Amazon has slightly reduced the price of the new iPhone 16e with 128GB of storage. Dropped down from £599 to £544, shoppers can buy the phone in either black or white. Shoppers will also be able to get up to 26 hours of playback when they splurge on this flagship smartphone. While Wowcher doesn't have any reviews for the Samsung Galaxy S10, many customers have raved over their experience with Wowcher - which currently has a 4.3 star rating on Trustpilot. One five-star reviewer said: "Easy to order, redeem voucher and arrange delivery. Good price. Fingers crossed we are happy with the product on arrival. So far so good." With another adding: "All went smoothly I had no issues and was happy to get such a good deal." However, one shopper did grumble: "Would have been five stars if website didn't keep popping up with how long I had to check out every time I added a bit info or clicked on payment method." While another customer wrote: "Website is really hard to understand and it doesn't really explain about vouchers." Despite this, a top reviewer added: "I had an issue with postage not being clear. I raised it with Wowcher, they responded within a couple of hours and I was extremely satisfied with their solution. They were very friendly, understanding, responsive and helpful. It's really encouraged me to purchase from Wowcher again." With a sixth customer commenting: "Wowcher, responded extremely quickly and resolved my self made mistake right.
