In the demo room, there were plenty of phones laid out in different filming sets, but Samsung had also placed a few of its new Galaxy Buds Plus in the room. Visually, they were pretty hard to tell apart from the original Galaxy Buds that I had in my pocket, but I was excited to see them nonetheless.Fast-forward to when pre-orders of the S20 went live, and I took advantage of the promotional offers to score a free pair of the Galaxy Buds Plus with my S20+ order because, well, why not? I figured the audio would be a little better, and the improved battery life was enticing given how often I used the original Buds when traveling.Since my Galaxy Buds Plus came in, I've also gotten a pair of Jabra's popular Elite 75t true wireless earbuds for comparison, which ...

The Y series significantly lowers the barrier for entry for those looking to pick up a smart TV, and should make OnePlus that mu...
