OnePlus and McLaren have announced the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition. The new phone sports faster charging and 10GB of RAM. The device will retail for $699 when it goes on sale later this week. Ever since OnePlus and McLaren announced a partnership, the entire tech world thought a special edition OnePlus 6T would be inevitable. Now, the two companies have held a launch event and, yes, we’ve got the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition.
Today, Asus took the wraps off its latest flagship, the Asus Zenfone 6. Although the Asus Zenfone 5Z was a pretty run-of-the-mill 2018 smartphone, the Zenfone 6 is anything but.
The biggest change with the Asus Zenfone 6 is its flipping rear camera. Rather than putting a selfie cam permanently on the front or a pop-up selfie shooter as we’ve just seen on the OnePlus 7 Pro, Asus invented a mechanism that flips the rear camera around to the front.

A cheaper HBO Max ads-supported tier is now live on the streaming service. This new tier is available alongside the more expensive $14.99-per-month ads-free tier. The price for the cheaper subscription is $9.99 a month, but it won’t have access to the newest movies. Update: June 2, 2021 (10:11 AM ET): In a press release, Warner Media confirmed that it has now launched its cheaper subscription tier for HBO Max.
TL;DR
The new Xiaomi virtual assistant is called Xiao Ai. Remarkably similar to Google Assistant, Xiao Ai checks the weather, controls smart appliances, does math, and performs translations. Due to cultural and language barriers, Xiao Ai will probably do better in China than other English-based rivals like Siri and Alexa. While Google’s stance on China has certainly softened a bit over the years, it’s evident that the search giant isn’t going to fully integrate into Chinese society any time soon.
With an expected debut around the middle of the year, Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 805 chip should start showing up in devices soon. Perhaps in a sign that the 805 is indeed just around the corner, Qualcomm has allowed technology journalists to benchmark the new chip for the first time.
AnandTech’s Anand Lal Shimpi ran a suite of benchmarks on a Mobile Development Platform tablet provided by Qualcomm to see exactly what kind of performance the Snapdragon 805 brings to the game.
When Google Play Music first rolled around, it was like my prayers had been answered: a music streaming service that allowed me to upload my own content and stream it anywhere for free. No longer would I have to lug around a dedicated MP3 player or figure out a way to cram just my most favorite albums onto my phone’s SD card.
Granted, there were plenty of compromises. Although Google Play Music allowed you to upload tracks with 320kbps bitrates, you didn’t have the choice to stream at that quality on cellular networks until 2017, for example.
BLU Vivo Air LTEThe BLU Vivo Air LTE won't fail to satisfy many casual users, but those who really care about 4G LTE support, updates and battery life should be wary. Table of contents
The BLU Vivo Air was affordable, but offered a stunning construction and pretty capable specs. The second iteration looks to bring a similar ultra thin design, but this time the device is boosted with 2 GB of RAM and 4G LTE speeds.
The Galaxy S6 marked a turning point for Samsung. It was the company’s first flagship smartphone to feature its new super premium design language. Though Samsung ultimately left out a few notable features from the device, it’s hard denying that the S6 is an attractive device. The company ended up bringing over that same design language to the Galaxy Note 5, which turned out to be one of our favorite Android handsets of last year.
Those of us with older cars often feel envious of those with nifty connected cars, featuring OnStar and other similar services. We may not go and purchase new cars just to get those features, but Verizon has just announced a new product that could ease your dumb car pains. They call it the Hum.
What exactly is this thing? Well, it’s actually a bundle with a couple products. The first component is a module that connects into your OBD (on-board diagnostics) port.
