"Samsung Galaxy Ring Leak Reveals High Price and Subscription Requirement"

The Samsung Galaxy Ring, expected to launch at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked in July, is rumored to be priced between $300 and $350 in the U.S., making it comparable to the Oura Ring. Additionally, Samsung may introduce a subscription plan for accessing all health-tracking features, potentially costing under $10 per month. This pricing and subscription model could make the Galaxy Ring as expensive as some smartwatches, which may disappoint those hoping for a more affordable alternative.

HP Introduces Monthly Printer Rental Subscription Plan

HP has introduced the HP All-In Plan, a printer rental subscription program aimed at addressing the frustrations of owning and maintaining a printer. The program offers a new printer, ink, and 24/7 support, with the option to upgrade after two years. However, the subscription starts at $6.99 per month with a limit of 20 pages, and additional pages incur extra costs. Subscribers are locked into a two-year commitment, and early cancellation fees apply. This move comes after HP's acknowledgment of customer frustrations and amidst class-action lawsuits over ink cartridge restrictions.
