Sending pictures to others is one of the most basic functions of a smartphone, but when your phone's texting app starts randomly pushing out photos without your knowledge, you have a problem.

For those with an affinity with Chinese numerology, then this is definitely the year for a new smartphone. Between the iPhone 8, Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note8, there has never been a luckier line-up of smartphone to choose from.

Here is the complete list of mobile plans for the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ in Australia from Telstra, Optus, Virgin Mobile, Vodafone and Woolworths. We also highlight the best plan from each telco based on price and data. Who provides the best value overall? Read on to find out...

Another day, another high-resolution leak of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the super-sized Galaxy S8 Plus. And it looks as good as you've hoped.
