Two of Samsung's three new phones for 2021 now have a rating that says they're ready for use in parts of Australia that mightn't be tech focused.

With voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) now becoming a big deal, the same service over WiFi is also popping up, but usually only if you have a new phone. Fortunately, that's changing, too. If you're a Telstra user with an iPhone this week, there's a good chance your phone reception could get better...

Another player enters the world of OLED, a soundbar that doesn't need a subwoofer, a stellar value with $299 wireless noise cancelling headphones, and a mobile made for rural Australia. This is The Wrap.

Whether you live in the city or out a little farther, Samsung's latest flagships shouldn't pose a problem for mobile communication.

Australia's a bigger place than most of our international counterparts would realise, and when you're looking for a new phone, if you live out in those rural areas, it can be difficult, but Optus hopes a label will help things along.
