The OnePlus 7 Pro has launched, and it remains one of the best bargains in the smartphone industry. It has tons of high-end hardware, including a near bezel-free screen, the fastest mobile processor, lots of RAM and storage, great onboard cameras and much more for prices that remain much less than its competition with the same hardware levels.
Naturally, you would not want just to get the OnePlus 7 Pro by itself.

A near-final version of Windows 11 has leaked online. The OS features a slew of design tweaks seemingly taken from Windows 10X. Microsoft will officially debut the OS on June 24. After plenty of hints and teases, Microsoft’s next operating system is finally out of the bag. A set of leaks posted to Chinese site Baidu (via The Verge) seemingly confirmed the Windows 11 title. Now, a leaked ISO of Windows 11 Pro build 21996.
The keychain is often overlooked as just a simple keyholder, but it can be a pretty useful tool with the right accessory. Such an example is the Collective Carry Glowing Vials, a handy light source that is not only stylish but practical as well.
If you’ve ever caught yourself stumbling to unlock your door at night in the cover of darkness, then you know the struggles of locating the keyhole without light.
If you have a brand new, high-end Android device, your mobile life tends to be pretty easy. After all, just about everything you run on it will work smoothly, from games to apps. Of course, not all of us have top-of-the-line brand new devices, and that’s why sometimes it’s nice to have a little help. That’s where utility apps can lend a hand. There are a handful of such apps out there, including DU Speed Booster, Greenify, Clean Master and others.

Qualcomm has revealed the Snapdragon 732G processor. It’s essentially a mildly upgraded version of the Snapdragon 730G. An upcoming Poco phone (presumably the Poco X3) will indeed offer this chipset. Qualcomm announced its first gaming-focused chipset last year in the Snapdragon 730G, offering good graphics performance and gaming-specific enhancements for mid-range phones like the Google Pixel 4a. Now, the company has announced a “follow-on” in the form of the Snapdragon 732G.

The tale of the smartphone industry is one of disruption. While Chinese brands have grown and profited, many legacy phone and technology brands have struggled. Blackberry, HTC, and Nokia (excluding the HMD “revival”) have fallen by the wayside. LG was the latest and greatest casualty of the hugely competitive market, bowing out after repeatedly trying and failing to reinvigorate its line-up.
Sony appears to be the exception to this rather unfortunate trend.

A few days before CES 2020 kicked off, a report from Wave7 Research stated that 90% of all postpaid (on-contract) phones sold in the US in December were either Samsung or Apple.
It’s no surprise therefore that the US market is becoming less of a focus for phone makers not named Apple or Samsung, and that was visible at CES. We had very few interesting smartphone announcements at the show, unlike some previous years.
International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) numbers are meant to be unique to each phone. They’re sort of like a fingerprint that helps carriers identify each device. When authorities in India found out that over 13,000 Vivo phones shared duplicate IMEI numbers, they knew something wasn’t quite right.
According to Jitender Sharma on Twitter (via TechRadar), a police officer in Meerut first discovered the fraudulent IMEI numbers when his phone was repaired.

You can now change your Signal phone number without needing to abandon your chat history. Porting your data to a new number is as easy as porting data to a new phone. There’s even an alert in chats that will tell your friends you’ve switched numbers. If you’re a Signal user, you’ve likely had to deal with porting your data to a new phone.
There is a very real and very inaccurate assumption that there are no good games on Android or iOS. The argument exists that mobile phones aren’t the best game machines due to their touch screens, but what about if Android is a console OS? NVIDIA gave that a shot with their Shield Console and, to a smaller extent, their Shield Tablet. The difference is remarkable. In this list, we’ll take a look at the best NVIDIA Shield Console games.
