Samsung’s latest Galaxy Watch 7 is an accomplished smartwatch with enough fitness tools and clever features to satisfy any Android phone owner, but with an RRP of £289, it could be a little out of reach for some.

That’s not the case this week, as Argos is not only running a discount on the newest Galaxy Watch model by selling it at £214, but also offering a further 10 percent off, seeing the once £289 smartwatch dip right down to just £192.60.

All you have to do is add the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 to your trolley on the Argos website. Then when you go to pay, either by signing in to your account or entering your delivery details as a guest, you can advance to the pay screen where there’s an option to enter a promo code.

Type RED10 into that box, and Argos will slash 10 percent off the watch to get the total down to £192.60.

When you visit the listing page, it says the watch is the number two best seller in smartwatches and that the item is “popular”, with other shoppers “looking at this right now”, presumably hovering over the buy button. £214 is already ‘Our Lowest Price’, according to Argos, so the 10 percent off takes it even lower.

A quick look on Amazon sees this watch is £214 in a “limited time deal”, so Argos has the better price. Amazon price tracker site Camelcamelcamel also confirms £214 is the cheapest Amazon has ever sold the Watch 7 for, so Argos’s price is very good indeed.

You can pick up the Galaxy Watch 7 40mm version in cream or green colour. With in-built GPS it works well for tracking runs and swims, and also can track scores of different sport and gym sessions, with a heart rate sensor and temperature sensor providing in depth stats for you to look back on.

It also tracks your sleep, and combines all the data to give you an Energy Score every day that provides an overview of your ongoing health.

The watch also does all the smartwatch things you’d expect, like delivering notifications to your wrist, letting you reply to messages, taking calls, and running apps such as Spotify and Uber.

The Galaxy Watch 7 pairs best with a Samsung phone, but will work with any modern Android phone. If you’re thinking of buying but don’t have a Samsung phone, you might want to consider a different product such as a Google Pixel Watch, or a cheaper Fitbit band, if that better meets your needs for a lower cost. You also might not really need a smartwatch or tracking device at all!

It’s not clear how long this ‘red’ sale is on at Argos but if you are tempted to go for the Watch 7, this price should be jumped at.

If you happen to subscribe to Spotify there’s good news. This popular music app is getting a boost thanks to Channel 4 adding some of its programmes to the platform. It means that you’ll now be able to watch a swathe of video content from the UK telly provider right within the Spotify app itself.

The update – which is called Channel 4.0 – will serve up content aimed at 13–24-year-olds. Shows coming to Spotify at launch include Minor Issues (Wall of Entertainment), Hear Me Out (After Party Studios) and Secret Sauce (Acme Films & Wall of Entertainment). These can all be viewed for free so there’s no need to start reaching for the credit card.

Fancy tuning in? You will find this blockbuster boost via the Spotify smartphone and desktop app with Channel 4 confirming the upgrade will become available to audiences from later this week.

Channel 4 is, of course, no stranger to releasing video updates with its content already available in apps such as Snapchat and TikTok.

Speaking about the changes, Alex Mahon, Channel 4 CEO, said: “Gen Z are watching video across lots of digital platforms as well as on Channel 4 heartland ones and Spotify is very much one of the new, so that’s where we’re going.

“This new first of its kind approach puts Channel 4 content in another place where people already are. It is another first from Channel 4 and is on course with our Fast Forward strategy to grow new audiences and fresh revenue. We’ve always led the pack on digital – and we’re doing it again.”

And Roman Wasenmüller, VP of Spotify’s Podcast Business, added: “We see Spotify as a powerful tool for broadcasters like Channel 4 to connect with new and loyal audiences. Video consumption is growing rapidly on Spotify, and our platform provides the perfect space for Channel 4 to extend its reach, build even stronger relationships with their audience, and drive incremental revenues.”

Apple’s iPad may be the commonly-used catch-all term for tablet computers these days, but there is a huge range of alternative devices to the famous iPad that all run Android instead. Available in a wider range of shapes and sizes, there is an Android tablet out there for every budget, and one has just been announced that includes a welcome addition not often seen in the market.

OnePlus surprised Android fans on Monday by announcing the imminent arrival of the OnePlus Pad 3, a tablet it says has “a focus on performance and productivity” and will come to the UK on June 5, 2025. The price is still unannounced.

“The OnePlus Pad 3 merges supercharged hardware with market leading software to create the best tablet experience of 2025”, OnePlus said in a press release.

Sometimes when companies say such things it’s hyperbole, but OnePlus may have the spec sheet to back it up with the Pad 3. It confirmed that the tablet will be one of the first ever to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, Qualcomm’s current most powerful mobile processor.

That’s the same chip inside the OnePlus 13, Samsung Galaxy S25, Xiaomi 15 Ultra and Honor Magic 7 Pro, as well as other recent flagship Android phones.

But Android manufacturers rarely use Qualcomm’s top-end processor in their tablets, so to see the latest silicone in OnePlus’s newest effort is exciting. The company used the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in its OnePlus Pad 2 from last year, so this is the second year running we’ve seen top-end chips in OnePlus tablets.

”In just two short years we have built a strong reputation for bringing the most powerful and productive tablets to the market,” said Celina Shi, Chief Marketing Officer, OnePlus Europe. “The OnePlus Pad 3 continues this legacy with a cutting-edge chipset and intelligent software features – like Open Canvas – to help elevate productivity, creativity and entertainment. We’re confident that the OnePlus Pad 3 will be the best Android tablet of 2025!”

We don’t have full specs yet for the Pad 3, but if it’s anything like its predecessor I’ll be pleased. I’ve used the OnePlus Pad 2 extensively and it’s very good indeed, with a lovely bright 12.1-inch LCD screen, superb stereo speakers, a thin 6.5mm design, smooth OxygenOS software and up to 256GB storage and 12GB RAM.

OnePlus will hopefully make some smart updates to tempt buyers into investing in the Pad 3. If it’s compatible with OnePlus’s stylus, and if there’s a keyboard accessory like with the Pad 2, the Pad 3 could prove to be a genuine laptop replacement. It’s hard to replace a Windows or Mac laptop with a tablet, but for my money, Android is much better at it than iPadOS.

As confirmed in the above quote, the Pad 3 will run Open Canvas, which is good news. This is OnePlus’s clever software that lets you recreate the feeling of working and switching between open windows without cluttering the whole screen. It hides the edges of the open apps and leaves the app you’re in on most of the screen, but keeps the apps running in the background, allowing for quick switching.

It’s much more intuitive than Android tablet rival Samsung’s method, and it wipes the floor with Apple’s clunky Stage Manager windowing system for iPads.

Few other details were revealed, other than that UK and European buyers will be able to get the OnePlus Pad 3 in Storm Blue colourway, and that you’ll be able to remotely control a Mac computer and easier share files with “new apps and functionality”.

Before the launch on June 5, OnePlus is letting customers reserve the OnePlus Pad 3 for £1. This will open up some ‘Bonus Drop’ offers such as a £50 discount coupon and a gift code to get a free OnePlus SUPERVOOC 80W Dual Ports GaN Power Adapter Kit worth £49.99 when buying the Pad 3.
