In this episode of Double Tap on YouTube, Steven and Shaun discuss the latest Samsung devices, including new Samsung devices, the newly released Amazon Echo Spot and the need for improved audio description on TV and film.

The conversation begins with a focus on the Samsung Galaxy Ring, the new Fold and Flip devices, and the new watches and earbuds from the South Korean company. The guys talk about the similarities and competition between Samsung and Apple, as well as the advancements in wearable technology, such as the smart ring for health tracking.

They also touch on the potential for improved audio description with Robin Christopherson offering his personal view that AD leaves blind viewers with "the crumbs" when it comes to understanding what is happening on screen.

Robin also chats with Steven and Shaun about the release of the Amazon Echo Spot, leading to a discussion on the future of AI and subscription models for voice assistants such as Alexa.
