This year’s deluge of smartphone releases is slowly coming to a close. The OnePlus 6T is one of the very last so-called ‘flagships’ of the season having been announced at the very tail end of October. In short, you should take a look at this OnePlus phone for the same reasons you’ve considered its predecessors — it’s simply good value.

After such a positive launch of the Nokia 7.1, HMD Global seems to be on a roll with the Nokia brand at the moment. They are no doubt hoping this ‘roll’ continues with the launch of their reported upcoming flagship — the Nokia 9. We’ve previously had a glimpse of the device during its prototype stages. But now, thanks to leaks from @OnLeaks and 91Mobiles, we’re getting a look at what the trypophobia-inducing device could be bringing to the table.

Despite a few minor leaks, the Samsung Galaxy S10 has still managed to mostly remain a mystery at this point. While there’s still no solid evidence on what the device will look like, there are strong suggestions that it will ditch the iris scanner and instead rely on an in-display fingerprint reader.

The OnePlus 6 is already capable of using the company’s new Nightscape mode thanks to Android Pie beta 6. Naturally, that meant I had to head out into the darkened streets to see if it actually makes any difference to the night-photography capabilities of the device.

We reported that the OnePlus 6 has already seen a multitude of add-ons that will also be found on the recently announced OnePlus 6T, music to the ears of OnePlus 6 owners.

The Google Home Hub, despite a few omissions, is probably the best Smart Display available for the vast majority of those looking to buy an assistant powered home control screen. I always saw Google’s own Smart Display effort as a potential threat to the JBL Link View and Lenovo Smart Display, but let me explain the differences (as of today) and why my first statement will apply to most considering a device in this category.

Fresh off the back of news that the Huawei Mate 20 series won’t be made available in the United States comes our review of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. Personally, I think it is a massive shame that the device won’t be officially available in the US, as this device could be a serious contender for smartphone of the year. Huawei could be criticized for trying to throw all the ingredients into a smartphone and hope that it sticks, but in practice, there is so much here to love.
