No, I don't know why it ends before Halloween either, but if you're pairing those deals with a Bambu Lab machine, I've picked out the top three 3D printers I'd buy based on our workshop tests.

My top cheap 3D printer for beginners

A1 Mini 3D Printer: $219
Despite being the cheapest of my three picks, the Bambu Lab A1 mini is a terrific choice if you're new to 3D printing. Its tiny footprint means it won't take up a lot of space and the full automatic calibration removes much of the manual setup.View Deal

In his five-star review, our 3D printer expert Alastair said: "Boasting exceptional build quality and advanced features, it strikes a perfect balance, catering to a wide range of users from beginners to professionals."

MakerWorld integration lets you find projects and start printing with minimal fuss, while multi-color printing is also available with the Combo version and its AMS Lite system.

My top mid-range 3D printer

P1S 3D Printer: $579
This 3D printer is ideal for anyone seeking plenty of capability without maxing out the credit card. Its fully enclosed design supports a wider range of materials, and the 256 x 256 x 256 mm build volume provides room for larger projects. Bambu Lab says the P1S can go from being unboxed to its first print in around 15 minutes.View Deal

In his five-star review of the P1P, which shares similar core printing hardware with the P1S but lacks its fully enclosed design, Alastair said: "It costs less than most highly regarded consumer machines yet fires into life ploughing through prints with a speed and accuracy that you would usually associate with business class and priced machines."

My top 3D printer for professionals

H2D AMS Combo: was $1999 now $1749
This is my top choice for anyone prepared to spend more for additional capabilities. It features a dual-nozzle system designed for multi-material 3D printing and offers a 350 x 320 x 325 mm print volume, a 350°C nozzle, and active chamber heating up to 65°C.View Deal

In his four-and-a-half-star review, Alastair said: "Far from being a jack of all trades, the H2D matches — and in some cases exceeds — the quality of dedication machines, the 3D print quality being a case in point. The fact that it features excellent laser engraving and cutting all add to the appeal. Tool swaps are straightforward, and despite a few quirks, they come together to add great value."

In a nutshell...

For anyone on a budget, the beginner-friendly Bambu Lab A1 Mini for $219 scored 5 stars in our review for exceptional value for money, with print quality professionals will appreciate.

For a mid-range pick, check out the Bambu Lab P1S, which is $579 and offers speed and print quality you'd find on much more expensive units.

And then there's the Bambu Lab H2D AMS Combo for $1749 (was $1999). This pro-grade machine is in a league of its own, and takes the number one slot in our guide to 3D printers.

These are my top three choices for Bambu Lab 3D printers, covering every budget. If you want more options, check out our roundups of the best 3D printers.

The president got Big Tech leaders to sign a voluntary agreement for overseeing AI safety. But it leaves big questions unanswered.

The Ugreen DXP4800 GT is one of those NAS devices that reallu impressed us, earning the full 5 stars in our tests. Its four drive bays are joined by dual 10GbE networking, M.2 NVMe expansion, an AMD Ryzen processor, and features aimed at creators and office teams.

• Best for: Small businesses, studios, and creative professionals who needs fast centralized storage for large files, backups, media libraries, and multi-user access.

• The deal: The Ugreen DXP4800 GT NAS device is now $560 (was $660) at Amazon.

• Why it matters: Dual 10GbE networking, four drive bays, two M.2 slots, and up to 144TB of claimed capacity provide a fast, expandable alternative to relying on cloud storage. In summing up this NAS drive, we called it "a superb NAS option for those in the creative sector."

4-Bay DXP4800 GT NAS: was $659.99 now $559.99
This four-bay NAS features a Ryzen Embedded R2514 processor, 8GB DDR4 memory, dual 10GbE networking, two M.2 NVMe slots, USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, SD card support and up to 144TB storage capacity.View Deal

Why we recommend it

In his 5-star review, our expert Alastair said: "The DXP4800 GT is an excellent choice for smaller studios, offices and homes, really anyone who wants dual 10GbE without the huge cost that has until now been associated with this network speed."

He also noted: "when I sat down and worked through the costs of my Google Drive storage, WeTransfer, Wipster, and Backblaze subscriptions, it didn’t take long for those subscriptions' yearly costs to far surpass the cost of the DXP4800 GT. I’ve been sold on this new wave of NAS for a while, and the advancements with each new release just make them more impressive and usable, especially when you need to store large quantities of files and access them quickly."

The DXP4800 GT combines an AMD Ryzen Embedded R2514 processor with four cores and eight threads, plus 8GB of DDR4 memory. RAM can be expanded to 64GB, while compatible ECC memory can also be installed if you want error correction.

There are four SATA bays supporting drives up to 32TB each, with two of those bays also supporting U.2 NVMe SSDs. Two additional M.2 slots accommodate up to 16TB of SSD storage between them, giving the NAS a claimed maximum capacity of 144TB.

Creators also get an SD card slot for transferring photos and video directly to the NAS, alongside 10Gbps USB-A and USB-C connections and a 4K HDMI output.

Price context & historical value

We noted in our review, this is "the best-value 4-bay 10GbE NAS you can buy and an excellent choice for video and creators who need mass storage and speed."

The reduction from $659.99 to $559.99 knocks exactly $100 off the regular price, equivalent to a saving of just over 15%. That's not the cheapest it's been however. I've seen it for $528 in the recent past.

Remember that this is a diskless NAS, however, so you'll need to budget separately for the HDDs or SSDs required to actually store your files.

Should you buy it?

✅ Buy the Ugreen DXP4800 GT NAS if...

You want fast, centralized storage. The combination of nippy networking, SSD expansion, and direct SD card imports will make it especially useful for photographers and video creators. The system is capable of local-like 4K and 8K editing directly from the NAS — when the rest of your network and storage setup can keep up.

UGOS Pro also goes beyond file storage, with support for Docker, virtual machines, SAN Manager, backups, and compatible surveillance cameras.

❌ Skip the Ugreen DXP4800 GT NAS if...

You simply need somewhere for backups or don't have the networking hardware to benefit from 10GbE. A more basic two- or four-bay NAS could be all you'll need and cost you considerably less.

• Russia could slash SIM sellers as new rules tighten mobile registration
• New SIM cards could arrive without money under Russia’s fraud measures
• Anti-Fraud 3.0 could replace thousands of smaller SIM-selling intermediaries

Moscow is preparing a new round of anti-fraud rules, dubbed Anti-Fraud 3.0, that would sharply shrink the number of people allowed to sell SIM cards.

The proposals would reserve number registration for direct dealers while requiring new SIM cards to carry no funds before contracts are signed.

If adopted, the measures could change how Russians obtain mobile numbers and make prepaid SIM cards less useful in fraud schemes.

Russia could sharply reduce the number of SIM sellers

Individual entrepreneurs currently acting as intermediaries between operators and customers would therefore lose their ability to arrange subscriber agreements.

An industry estimate claims that these intermediaries account for almost half of physical SIM purchases across Russia.

The change could affect thousands of retail locations, potentially making mobile numbers less readily available in some areas.

T2, one of Russia's mobile operators, has argued that stronger intermediary requirements could work better than eliminating the model.

The operator says it already checks customer identities and activates numbers only after the required verification procedures have been completed.

The proposal would also require operators to issue new SIM cards without money already loaded into their associated accounts.

Customers would instead need to establish the service agreement before adding funds, creating a record connected with the eventual payment.

Russia's Finance Ministry says this approach is intended to make numbers purchased for fraudulent purposes easier to trace through payment activity.

“Such measures will make fraudulent use of prepaid numbers or numbers obtained using another person's identity impossible,” it said.

Zero balance could leave fraudsters with fewer anonymous options

The ministry argues that prepaid numbers can allow criminals to obtain communication services, exploit them, and then discard them after use.

Under the new plan, new SIM cards will not come with bonus funds. Even if this free money is on the SIM, the user must make a purchase on the SIM to activate it.

Requiring customers to add money after signing their service agreements could create payment records that investigators can examine during fraud cases.

Payments made through terminals or communication outlets could additionally generate records that help authorities connect transactions with individual users.

The proposed package also considers requiring identifiable sender information for bulk text messages, with inaccurate details potentially triggering contract termination.

The package would also prohibit automated calls made solely to check whether particular numbers remain active.

Owners of websites and mobile applications could also face requirements to retain registration and login records for three years.

Those records would be available to law enforcement when legally required, according to the proposed measures.

However, Russia already requires operators to verify customers before activating numbers, following communication law changes introduced during spring 2025.

T2 and Beeline say their customers cannot use newly obtained numbers before completing the legally required identity verification.

That means the proposed zero-balance requirement would add another control rather than simply introducing identification.

The Finance Ministry has stressed that Anti-Fraud 3.0 remains work in progress, with industry recommendations still being considered before authorities make a final decision.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 9: One minute review

Every time a new smartwatch is released, it’s sold on its ability to collect new and improved types of health data. Any old fitness tracker knows more about your body’s comings and goings than you do, but without interpretation, these figures, statistics and metrics are all just numbers to you and I. A graph of my blood oxygen through the day, or my HRV while sleeping, won’t tell me how fit I am.

That’s why the Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 feels like a breath of fresh air. Its core upgrade isn’t some new facet of health to track, or a different kind of number which it can count, but something simpler. It ties into recent Samsung Health changes to actually provide actionable advice based on your data.

It’s the aggregate watch. All your workouts and body data are condensed into a Fitness Index, which compares your wellness in several different departments to other Samsung users on average, and helps you expand your exercise regimen to improve. Your sleep schedule, daily cadence and heart rate turns into your Energy Score, which helps you understand if, and when, it’s time to workout.

All of that is to say, that the Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 is far more useful than most wearables I’ve tested, because it actually makes your data mean something. Its smarts may be unnecessary for prolific exercisers, who already know how to use their data, but the average person who cares about health but hasn't yet dived into their fitness with the same granuarity will find it incredibly useful.

Perfect it is not. There are all the usual smartwatch quirks: navigation, and information locations within the UI, can sometimes feel counterintuitive, and it’ll easily pick up scuffs and marks over time. More significantly, the battery life is poor: it’ll go for about a day of use on a single charge, or even less if you’re doing multiple exercises per day, but this has always been a sticking point with Samsung watches.

Some features are also only available if you own a Samsung Galaxy smartphone, and although one could argue that these are more minor tools, it’s still a shame that not all buyers get the same smartwatch.

Still, this feels like one of the most accessible smartwatches you can buy, in terms of its feature set and performance. It’s worth buying if you’ve been on the fence, liking the idea of a smartwatch but never feeling like they justify themselves; this one does.

At that price, the watch slightly undercuts the Apple Watch Series 11 – bearing in mind that Apple’s sizes are slightly bigger. However it’s slightly more expensive than the Galaxy Watch 8 was, which is sad but unsurprising in the current tech market given the supply chain crisis.

It’s worth pointing out that lots of the new Galaxy Watch 9 features come from Samsung Health, and many other Samsung wearables are also compatible – and get many of the new tools as a result. They won’t be baked into the watch interface like on the Watch 9, but you’ll still get access to the new tools for cheaper.

And of course, if you’re not interested in this aggregated data, there are budget wearables for literally a fifth of the price which will do the job just fine. If you need any old smartwatch or tracker, you can get one offering a lot better value for money.

• Value score: 4/5

Samsung Galaxy Watch 9: Design

(Image credit: Future)

• Relatively thin and lightweight: solid on wrist
• 3,000 nits screen works well outdoors
• Unchanged design from Watch 8

To look at it, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 is incredibly similar to its predecessor. You’re getting the same circle display, housed in a squircle metal ‘cushion’. The similarities are more than aesthetic: design-wise, this is basically the same watch.

That’s not a complaint; we gave the Watch 8 a five-star design score. It’s a sleek watch, with two barely-protruding but easy-to-tap buttons on the right edge. It’s small enough to be comfortable to wear in bed, and light enough not to wiggle around when you’re running or working out.

The watch has a 5ATM rating for waterproofing (up to 50 meters), a MIL-STD-810H certification for protection (against extreme temperature, altitude, dust, drops and many more military-grade requirements) and is also IPX8 rated. That is to say, it’s pretty well protected… though it’ll show its war wounds. My review unit, as you’ll see in images, quickly picked up a few dings and scrapes.

All these similarities extend to the screen. A Super AMOLED panel with a max brightness of 3,000 nits, it’s nice and bright for when you’re out in sunlight, or to double as a torch if you need one. Not once did I struggle to see what was going on.

(Image credit: Future)

Mostly, the screen was responsive, but a few times it wouldn’t recognize my touch if my swipe began off the screen (as the screen isn’t huge, it’s easy to miss on gestures). On the 40mm, then, some gestures can be a little finickity, but I don’t imagine this is the case on the 44mm model.

You can buy the watch with Sport, Misty or Fabric bands, in a range of colors. My test sample had the former, which quickly gave me a rash; if you have sensitive skin, I’d recommend avoiding this strap. Luckily, loads more are available to buy online, and they’re easy to replace with a simple press-to-release catch system on the watch body.

The watch’s user interface seems quite simple on the surface, but mastering it can speed up the way you use your watch. Swiping down for quick settings or right for notifications is easy, as is pulling up to see your app drawer. Swiping left brings you Tiles, which are basically on-watch widgets which you can customize. They let you easily see metrics, start tracking certain activities or see information from weather or calendar apps, and learning to use these properly transformed my time with the watch.

It’s not quite perfect, and there are some navigation quirks which are quite annoying. It’s hard to change app on the fly; for example if you’re tracking your cycle ride while also navigating on Google Maps and managing your tunes on Spotify, you’ll constantly have to jump back to the main menu rather than swiping between menus. But these are minor gripes.

• Design score: 5/5

Samsung Galaxy Watch 9: Features

(Image credit: Future)

• Aggregates all your data for useful scores
• Offers pointers and feedback which are mostly useful
• Requires Samsung phone for all features

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 feature set revolves around the brand’s redesigned Samsung Health. The key note change is this: instead of simply recording and reporting all your health and fitness metrics, the watch (and app) will boil all your data down into several key metrics, and then provide feedback and analytics.

Some are really useful. Fitness index was a handy way to compare my strengths and weaknesses in several departments, while Heart Health is a handy way to nudge you towards best cardiovascular practice. However not all are equal: Daily Cardio Load should help you decide whether you’re exercising enough, but it only takes into account logged workouts, rather than actual activity (ie, 20,000 steps will count for less than a 100 meter run), so its feedback doesn’t feel relevant. Likewise, the energy score felt light years from accurate; I’d wake up feeling exhausted, and be told by the watch that my energy level was ‘excellent’.

But for good or ill, it’s great that Samsung Health actually does something with the data the Watch 9 collects. Features like the sleep score and sleep coaching, and the aforementioned Fitness Index, can give you useful pointers towards various goals. For example, the latter tool can give you recommendations to hit health targets, and show you data over time.

Again, the results are sometimes mixed. Running coach – which is admittedly in beta – gave me a laughably incorrect assessment of my running habits, giving me a 4-week training plan which I could complete in two days.

(Image credit: Future)

Some might find the Samsung Galaxy Watch 9’s approach a little oversimplistic, and if you’re in that camp, you might need a device geared more towards pros.

I was constantly surprised by what the Galaxy Watch 9 could track. You can use its sensors to measure body composition, stress and antioxidant levels in the body – obviously these won’t match the accuracy of an actual medical test, but it’s useful for contributing to the aforementioned metrics. I also really appreciated receiving a sweat loss figure during runs, telling me how much to rehydrate.

During testing, I paired the Galaxy Watch 9 with both a Samsung phone, and later a non-Samsung one. Unfortunately, some features are gated for Galaxy device owners, like ECG or blood pressure, so if you have another device you’re missing some of the tech you’re paying for.

Generally, Bluetooth connection was reliable. I had a few unexpected drop-outs, but most of the time, the watch could re-pair to my phone easily. Only once did I need to reboot the watch to regain connection.

Beyond the fitness tools, the Galaxy Watch has plenty of useful extra tools like a torch, music controls and Play Store for extras. I really appreciated the ability to set vibration alarms, so my wrist-mounted wake-up call wouldn’t also rouse my partner, and set alarms on my wrist before bed.

• Features score: 4/5

Samsung Galaxy Watch 9: Performance

(Image credit: Future)

• Mostly accurate for exercises and sleep tracking
• Battery only lasts a day per charge
• Lots of activities to train, but they range in usefulness

Let’s start with one of the weak elements of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 9: its battery life. In my testing, it generally lasted a day of serious use; by that I mean workouts tracked most days (sometimes multiple a day), a night of sleep tracking, and notification handling. In fact, during busy days, I’d have to top it up in the afternoon.

A sole day of battery life isn’t ideal, as it means charging the device takes up a significant amount of your potential use time. By reducing my workout frequency, turning off raise-to-wake and reducing notifications handled, I managed to get the device to last closer to two days, but not everyone will want to switch off many features of their fancy smart device.

When it comes to tracking activities, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 felt largely accurate. Its location results matched other trackers I’ve used, as well as GPS mapping tools, and heart rate data was comparable to another fitness watch I used at the same time.

Sleep tracking was a little more iffy. The watch was great at recognizing sleep time versus idling in bed time, avoiding a common wearable problem in which your pre-sleep book reading or post-wake-up dawdle would count as more sleep. However it didn’t always catch my waking up during the night, and sometimes didn’t report all my sleep data after I woke up. Oh well – I was just happy to wear a fitness tracker which wasn’t so big that it disrupted my sleep.

(Image credit: Future)

The watch’s sleep coaching is quite useful: after a test, I was told I sleep like a penguin, and given some tasks to accomplish to get better rest. Since many of these are self-reported, I lied a little bit – yes, Galaxy Watch, of course I meditated before bed – but pointers to get out of bed quickly after an alarm were handy.

Generally, the Samsung is adept at auto-recognizing pauses in your workout: when I stopped at traffic lights, it could tell when I was motionless, and when I’d resumed. It’s a little more unreliable for auto-tracking exercises though. When I took the watch on holiday and spent days wandering around a city, it’d sometimes track my wanders and other times neglect to. Don’t rely on this tool.

The Galaxy Watch has about ten activities available to track via its menu, but you can easily add more from a pre-determined list, or create your own activity if your favorite one is missing (there was no bouldering, so I had to make my own). These are often quite basic – when making bouldering, I could only set it to track duration and calories burnt – but it all contributes to the fitness metrics.

Done a workout? Good luck finding the data. As far as I can tell, you can’t see past workouts on the watch, even via the Samsung Health applet. You can see any done on that day on Samsung Health, but your long list of past workouts is hidden incredibly well within the app (I only found it by clicking a ‘View Records’ pop-up at the top of the app – not the other ‘View Records’ which takes you to your steps. It’s silly!) . Presumably, the brand doesn’t think you’re going to want to see historic data, but I often find this useful to check against.

• Performance score: 4/5

Samsung Galaxy Watch 9: Should I buy?

(Image credit: Future)Buy it if...

You want advice, not numbers

The Galaxy Watch 9’s focus on actionable intel means it’s useful for general health users who could do with some advice, motivation or pointers in order to work out better.

You want something lightweight

I really appreciate how slender and non-bulky the Galaxy Watch is. You can run with it or sleep in it without it weighing you down.

You want something that survives everyday life

This is no rugged Ultra watch, but its protections ensure it’ll survive normal life. No bumps, splashes or unexpected dust storms are going to stop it working.

Don't buy it if...

You’re on a budget

This isn’t a super cheap smartwatch, and plenty of brands make good-value wearables for a much lower price. They won’t do everything the Samsung does, but they’ll do a lot.

You don’t have a Samsung phone

Some features are exclusive to Samsung phones, which also have the necessary Watch software pre-installed.

You need a multi-day device

Because of its low battery life, I can’t recommend the Galaxy Watch for multi-day use. Expect to charge it regularly.View Deal

How I tested

I used the Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 for three weeks, wearing it on my wrist most of the time over that period. For the first week it was used alongside my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, and the second two with the Fairphone 6 Plus.

During that span of time I slept with it, wore it while working, and took it on a week-long holiday. I also tracked various kinds of exercise including runs, walks, bouldering, cycles and tennis, and used all of Samsung Health’s features all that time.

I’ve been reviewing gadgets for TechRadar for eight years, and in that time have tested countless smartwatches and Samsung Galaxy devices. I’ve completed multiple marathons and am training for another, giving the Galaxy Watch 9 something to work towards.
