The red OnePlus 6 makes a statement. James Martin/CNET The OnePlus 6T has been officially announced and here’s our review. CNET was first to report that the OnePlus 6T will arrive in October for $550, sold exclusively by T-Mobile in the US. The OnePlus 6T is the next iteration of OnePlus’ successful franchise of “affordable high-end” Android …

Flexible phones are back on the menu. Though we’ve seen flexible screens in Samsung’s Galaxy phones, 2013’s LG G Flex phone and LG’s OLED TV that rolls up like a poster from this year’s CES, we still haven’t seen a completely bendable phone. But a small company based in Fremont, California named Royole (pronounced “royal”) is hoping to get close. It …

The last time we saw a phone leaked this throughly, it might have been when Apple left an iPhone in a bar. Not only have multiple Russian-speaking bloggers appear to have gotten their hands on the unreleased Google Pixel 3 XL months ahead of its expected October debut, not only have they spoiled practically every detail you’d want to know — read …

Sometimes it just helps to wait. With Samsung’s launch of its new Note 9, the phone’s incremental updates like a Bluetooth-enabled S Pen stylus, a higher-capacity battery and a slightly bigger display doesn’t exactly deliver any new earth-shattering technology. In fact, in her review of the Note 9, CNET editor Jessica Dolcourt said that the phone “offers few real innovations over last …

Pretty much every phone can use your face (as well as your fingerprint) as a key. But some biometric unlocking is also more secure, faster, or just a better experience overall. Phones like the iPhone X, Galaxy Note 9 and LG G7 use biometric information to unlock your device, like your unique eye and facial pattern. Many people find it more convenient or more novel …

If the selfie in Huawei’s latest Nova 3i ad looks too good to be true, that’s because it is.  In the commercial, we see several shots presumably taken by the phone’s front-facing camera, including one where a woman is putting on makeup and a man holds out the phone to take a selfie.  But a behind-the-scenes photo posted by Sarah …

OnePlus‘ next flagship phone will get a feature that’s new to the company: the backing of a major US carrier. T-Mobile will be the exclusive US carrier partner for the OnePlus 6T when it launches in October, according to several people familiar with the launch plans. That includes a specific version of the OnePlus 6T optimized for T-Mobile’s network, the …

Two of the best phones you can buy, Apple’s iPhone X and Google’s Pixel 2 XL have lightning fast speeds, exceptional cameras and high-end hardware. As the marquee devices of Silicon Valley’s largest tech companies, it’s only natural to compare them head-to-head: design, camera, performance, software and overall value. No phone will ever meet 100 percent of anyone’s needs and, …

Leica is to the photography world what Rolex is to watches. It’s synonymous with a heritage of high-quality cameras, lenses and romanticised photographic experiences in exotic locales. It’s also a name that the Huawei P20 Pro phone proudly bears on its back. In 2014 the two companies partnered to fine-tune the imaging process and optics on Huawei phones. But it wasn’t Leica’s involvement that …

Over the years, Alexa has popped up in a number of places we would never have expected it before — in refrigerators, cars, thermostats, televisions and even lamps. But it’s taken longer for Amazon’s handy personal assistant to arrive on our pockets. Last year, Amazon made Alexa accessible from every iOS device by adding it to the Amazon Shopping app. Then …
