Withings has announced its BPM Vision blood pressure monitor will be available in the U.S. from April 2, having cleared the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s stringent approval process. The BPM Vision launched during CES 2025, and despite FDA approval often being a long and often hard to predict process, Withings has met its goal of releasing the monitor in April. However, it is a little more expensive than originally planned. 

The BPM Vision is an FDA approved blood pressure monitor that’s designed to be easy to use, and suitable for a lot more people than its previous model, the BPM Connect. The main unit has a 2.8-inch LCD screen with physical buttons to confirm activities, and it guides you through the entire process of taking your blood pressure, right down to automatically taking three measurements as recommended by doctors.

The cuff is available in different sizes to suit more people, ranging from 9-inches to 22-inches, and different profiles can be set up on the unit so everyone in the family can use the same BPM Vision unit. When readings have been taken, results are shown on the screen and transferred over to the Withings app via Wi-Fi. From the app, reports can be generated and shared with doctors. If you pay for the $100 per-year Withings+ subscription, it also works with the Cardio Check-Up service, where you can make an appointment with a health care professional within 24 hours. 

Withings expected the BPM Vision to cost $130 when it initially showed the device at CES 2025, but the final cost is slightly higher at $150. This is also a little more expensive than the BPM Connect, which costs between $100 and $130. It’ll be available through Withings own website in April, and then through Amazon and other retailers in May. 

The Withings BPM Vision joins a few other high-tech ways of taking your blood pressure, such as some Samsung Galaxy Watch smartwatches, and the unusual Huawei Watch D2. There are also rumors Apple is working on bringing blood pressure monitoring to the Apple Watch in 2025.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Dummy Video

Samsung's long-awaited Galaxy S25 Edge is the last member of the Galaxy S25 lineup. It might not have released at the same time as the other three phones, but it has potentially been discussed more than even the mightiest of the S25 lineup. This slim and light handset captured the public's attention, but Samsung has kept concrete information under wraps — as best they can, anyway.

Thanks to a slew of leaks, we have a pretty good idea of what to expect when this phone hits the market. This information comes courtesy of tipsters with reliable track records, educated guesses, and a assumptions made from previous launches. Of course, take it with a grain of salt — anything could change before launch, after all — but this is everything you need to know about the Galaxy S25 Edge.

Reimagine tool in Magic Editor on mobile.

The Magic Editor feature on Google Photos is a handy way to use AI to edit the images taken on your phone (though not everyone loves the results), but over the last few months some users have been reporting problems using the editor. Now, Google has acknowledged the problems and announced it is rolling out a fix, so if you're having problems with the editor then you should be able to use it as normal again soon.

Problems with Magic Editor were raised by users on Reddit as far back as November last year, with similar complaints appearing on Google's official Photos form in December. Some users found that after making edits with the Magic Editor tool, they were unable to save their images. The issue seemed to be intermittent, particularly affecting photos taken from the Screenshot folder and then edited in the Magic Editor.
