Samsung will almost certainly unveil its [Galaxy A73]( and A53 smartphones during an [online presentation this Thursday](. Why does it matter? It has announced a "Galaxy A event" and has hinted that there will be at least two A series devices announced: "The awesome new Galaxy A series devices are designed to provide the fully-loaded experience that people want from a smartphone," it said in a media post. What's my take? While the Samsung Galaxy S series gets all the fanfare, it's the A series that sells in big numbers. I'm keen therefore to hear more about what the tech giant has to offer this year. According to the rumours, we'll be getting not just the A73 but also the A53. So,.if you're after a mid-range Android phone and are thinking of upgrading, wait a couple more days to see if Samsung has convinced you if it has what it takes. Apple's latest software updates now available for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Watch, and more Apple What's happened? Apple has [released]( a slew of updates for its devices, including iPhone, Mac and iPad. Why does it matter? The software updates include new emoji, Universal Control, the ability to use Face ID with a mask, and much more. What's my take? While the focus for most is on the iOS 15.4 update, I'm more excited about MacOS 12.3 personally. However, both feel like they have been long time coming. Although each updates' new features list isn't particularly long, [Universal Control]( is very clever, almost "magical", as Apple would say. Why? Because it works seamlessly between Mac and iPad, allowing you to "jump across" to your tablet to get the files you need via your Mac's keyboard and mouse/trackpad - all as if they were a single device. Better still, after the initial tick in the settings panel to enable it - it just works naturally. Having already had a play, I'm looking forward to using it more in the future.
