I’ve tested every cheap Samsung phone: Here are the ones you should buy in 2025

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-09 09:32:31

The secret to Samsung’s ultra-cheap success is its commitment to software updates. Like the rest of the Galaxy A series, the Galaxy A16 is set up for a full six years of support, carrying it right into the start of the 2030s. That works out to a per-update cost of around $30, better than the Galaxy A26’s per-update cost of $50 or the Galaxy S24 FE’s price of around $90 for each major patch. Granted, you’re paying for much more than just software support, but it’s a good place to start if you wan

Popular UV Manicure Lamps Might Be Frying Your Skin at the Molecular Level

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2026-02-09 09:20:56

UV LED nail lamps are very trendy right now, allowing people to quickly wrap up their manicures at the salon or in the comfort of their own home. But it now appears that these products can come at a potentially serious cost. Scientists in Argentina led the study, which examined how the UV dose emitted by a modern manicure lamp affected common skin molecules. They found that just a few minutes of exposure altered these molecules in ways that could be harmful to skin. Though the long-term health
