Malware has been the bane of everyone's online existence, because it serves as the easiest back-door entry for perpetrators of cybercrime and thievery. Google is usually on its toes, keeping the Play Store free of nefarious apps and ensuring prompt delivery of Android security patches, but some attackers manage to stay ahead of the curve and still steal money or personal information from victims. One such malware was recently caught in the wild targeting Android devices, stealing all financial data on them, and then wiping them clean.

Midrange phones are more competitive than ever, and their performance and battery life make us wonder why we spend $1,000+ on flagship devices.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra is this year’s Samsung flagship and a device that Digital Trends rated highly in its review, calling it “the best Ultra ever, and a must-buy.” This is high praise, but ZTE’s sub-brand Nubia has Samsung in its sights with the Nubia Z60 Ultra “Leading Version” and the Z60S Pro, a slightly pared-down, but even more affordable model.
