The parent company of the Philips Hue smart lighting range, Signify, has [announced]( four new outdoor solutions to improve your drive or garden. Why does it matter? Existing Philips Hue users will also soon find new options in the dedicated app. Candlelight and fireplace modes are to be added that will gently flicker and glow to set more romantic moods. What's my take? Philips Hue continues to set the benchmark for custom smart lighting and it now has its sights set firmly on your driveway and garden. However, it will need to make sure that it creates designs that people want adorning the outside of their home, rather than something that can at times look like it's straight out of a suburban conference centre. If it gets that right, there might be a time when you can't imagine a light in your house that's not smart, whether you need that functionality or not. - [What Philips Hue smart bulbs are there and which should you buy?]( Samsung Galaxy S22 prices and storage options leak Technizo Concept / Letsgodigital What's happened?

WinFuture's Roland Quandt tweeted a European price list for the different Galaxy S22 model options, also stating that Covid, chip shortages and high inflation rates in many countries have kept the price tickets at lofty levels. What's my take? This might have a bigger impact across the industry, so I hope you've been saving. Owning an S22, or any of this year's flagships, could be very pricey indeed.
