OnePlus has officially confirmed that it's announcing the 8T at an online event on October 14, just as was rumored (and then revealed by Amazon India). Multiple sources have so far claimed that there won't be a OnePlus 8T Pro this year, just the 8T, so with that in mind you may be wondering how much it's going to cost.
And to that, all we can say is - OnePlus has done it again. At least according to a tipster over on Twitter, the OnePlus 8T will be exactly $100 or €100 more expensive than the OnePlus 8 was when it launched.
You guys choose it, I will do it. So here's my "ExClUsIvE"...

Microsoft and Sony fired the opening shots of the next-gen console wars when they revealed the pricing of the new models. However, the real battle could be over platform exclusives and Microsoft just announced a major deal to acquire ZeniMax Media.

The first promo video for the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G has slipped out. It appears to be part of a series as it focuses only on two things – the camera and the battery – while making no mention of the chipset (or even the benefits of 5G).

The ban may be temporarily halted by a new Trump administration deal, but you still may want to look at alternatives while the legal situation gets sorted out.
Earlier this month, Chinese maker Tecno introduced its Camon 16 lineup with the 16, 16 Pro and 16 Premier. Back then, we only got the detailed specs of the 16 Premiere but now a Google Play Console listing for the 16 Pro fills us in on the phone’s key specs and gives us a look at its display.

This may be the first of its kind – Ulefone unveiled a rugged 5G smartphone. It’s a 5G version of the Armor 8, which uses the MediaTek Dimensity 800 chipset (replacing the Helio P60) which will deliver higher performance in addition to faster Internet connectivity.
“Faster” in two ways – the Ulefone Armor 8 5G promises higher download speeds (so it completes large downloads faster) as well as lower latency (a boon for multiplayer gaming). You can see it in action against an iPhone 11 below. Keep in mind that the numbers seen in the video are not exactly scientific results.

Oppo released its Oppo Watch in China back in March and the device found its way to the international markets shortly after. But there was one thing missing from the global version compared to its Chinese counterpart - the ECG functionality. Well, an ECG version of the wearable is on its way, launching on September 24.
Still even with the hardware in place, the feature needs to clear the appropriate certifications in various countries around the world so that it can be used. Take Apple's Watch and Samsung's Galaxy Watch3, for example, they both come with ECG but the feature can be...
Oppo just announced yet another Reno4 family member called Oppo Reno4 SE. It is the most affordable of the bunch while offering 5G connectivity thanks to the Dimensity 720 chipset. And just like its siblings, the Reno4 SE impresses with thin and light body at just 7.9mm.

WeChat and TikTok avoided the ban by the US Commerce Department at the 11th hour – the ban was supposed to go into effect on Sunday, however US Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler blocked it, saying it raises serious questions about the first amendment (which guarantees freedom of speech).
WeChat was looking at a complete disruption of its US operations while TikTok was given a grace period as owner ByteDance keeps negotiating with US companies for a deal that would satisfy the national security concerns which are cited as the main reason for the ban.
Such a deal looked dead in the water on...

To say that 2020 has been all sorts of weird so far would be an understatement, but phone makers left and right have continued to churn out new devices at what seems like breakneck speed. We’ve seen a ton of flagships already, and most of those are excellent. And yet, the prices have crept up continuously, so a lot of them are quite expensive. However, if the amount that a proper top of the line device commands nowadays isn’t an issue for you, the question remains - which is the one to buy?
That’s complicated, but if you are (or will be) looking for a new flagship smartphone to call your...

When Apple announced iOS 14, they announced a bunch of privacy changes to the platform that would better protect users against things like tracking. One of those changes included how iOS devices would use a random MAC address when connecting to WiFi networks, with the idea being that it would prevent retailers from using MAC addresses to track customers.This sounds great for the end-user, but not so much for corporations […]
A report from earlier this year from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo revealed that Apple could be working on a small wireless charging mat.

When it comes to identifying songs you hear in public or on the radio, Shazam is one of those apps.

Earlier this year, Apple introduced the iPhone SE. This is the company’s latest attempt at creating an affordable iPhone, but the problem with it is that it was a bit small compared to some of Apple’s other iPhones. This is where the rumors later suggested that Apple could actually have an iPhone SE Plus in the works for the second half of 2020.It’s starting to feel like those rumors could […]
Recently, it was revealed that at the somewhat last minute, Apple put the iPhone 12 to production but scrapped their plans to include a 120Hz display.

Apple recently announced some changes that they would be making to the App Store. These changes would basically allow game streaming services onto its platform, which sounds like a good thing, but there is a catch that would make it infinitely more difficult for developers to do so.Despite it seeming like a good thing, Microsoft appears to be less than thrilled about it. In a statement made to The Verge, […]

While Samsung was seemingly the first to publicly reveal that they were looking into an under-display front-facing camera, they have yet to release such a solution. Instead, companies like ZTE and Xiaomi have beaten them to the punch, but there could be a good reason for the delay.According to a tweet by Ice Universe, they are claiming that Samsung will finally have their own solution ready in 2021 and that […]
The notch of the iPhone series has been kind of a sore spot in terms of design. Some have defended Apple’s decision by claiming that you kind of don’t notice the notch’s existence after a while, but the fact that it is still there simply cannot be ignored. However, that could change with the company’s 2021 smartphones.According to a tweet by Ice Universe, they are claiming that come 2021, Apple’s […]

Are foldable phones the next big thing? We’ve seen several of them launch already, but they haven’t quite taken over like we would have expected. Presumably price is one of the reasons why many have yet to adopt the technology, so maybe if it was a bit more affordable, things could change.That being said, Apple has been rumored to be exploring the idea themselves and now according to a post […]
One of the rumored features of the iPhone 12 is that it will come with support for 5G.
