Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Honor is now the third biggest smartphone maker in China, massively outranking its former owner Huawei. Vivo and Oppo continue to outsell their competitors in the country, holding onto a combined 44% market share. Apple grew 62% year-over-year in the country. It’s been nearly a year since Huawei spun off Honor as an independent company. But while the former has floundered in all regions since, Honor has been on an upward trajectory, especially in its home market.

Late last night, HTC sold off part of its R&D workforce to Google in an attempt to right the ship after a years-long slump. The $1.1 billion cash injection will keep the lights on at HTC in its original form and help keep the dream alive for a little while longer – far better than what happened to Nokia when it was struggling. Google is now set to take some 2,000 or so of HTC’s ‘Powered by HTC’ research and development team and make them Googlers who will be set on a new hardware mission.

HyperX Chargeplay ClutchThe HyperX Chargeplay Clutch is an amazing accessory for the Nintendo Switch. It brings a new level of comfort and versatility to the Switch when using it in handheld mode. Its premium build and large rechargeable battery make the price worth it. However, this accessory will only be truly valuable to folks who use the Switch in handheld mode a majority of the time. At this price, it wouldn't be worth it if you simply leave your Switch docked most of the year.

Motorola Motorola One VisionThe Motorola One Vision redeems Motorola's Android One-powered series and delivers a fun, ambitious budget phone that's far from perfect, but full of surprises. Table of contents The Motorola One Vision is all about perception. In a literal sense, the One Vision’s headline features are all about sight — the headline 48MP camera and tall 21:9 display — but on a philosophical level, Motorola also wants the phone to challenge the perception of what a budget phone can be.

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority The OnePlus 10 Pro has finally launched in international markets to take on the best phones out there. Besides the revamped design and updated processor on offer, it also features an upgraded second-generation Hasselblad-tuned camera system. While OnePlus flagships almost always undercut the competition, they’ve slowly crept up in price over the years. Thankfully, the company has reversed that trend this time around, even if only by a small amount.

Overall, the OnePlus 8 renders don’t look too different from the original CAD-based renders we saw from @OnLeaks back in October (geez, this phone leaked early). On the front, we have a nearly bezel-less display interrupted only by a small cutout in the upper left corner for the single selfie camera. On the back, we have what appears to be a triple-lens camera module, LED flash, and the “new” OnePlus logo the brand launched last week.

Eric Zeman / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung admits there will be heavy delays for Samsung Galaxy S22 shipments. The company says it is facing an “all-time high” for interest in the phones. If you haven’t pre-ordered, your best bet on launch day might be to visit a brick-and-mortar store. However, it looks like not everyone will be so lucky. According to a statement Samsung gave to PCMag, there could be heavy delays for at least some Samsung Galaxy S22 shipments.

With T-Mobile and AT&T offering at least some of its customers free Netflix and HBO subscriptions, respectively, it was only a matter of time until Sprint joined the fray. Today, the Now Network did just that by announcing that, starting November 17, its Unlimited Freedom plan will include a free subscription to Hulu‘s Limited Commercials option. Existing customers need not worry – the perk applies to them as well. As for newcomers, Sprint’s Unlimited Freedom costs $60 each month, with a maximum of five lines going for $100 each month until January 31, 2019.

TL;DR T-Mobile announced a new partnership with Live Nation at its Uncarrier Next event. Customers will have access to tickets to sold-out shows, $25 lawn tickets, exclusive magenta drinks at select venues, and more. At today’s T-Mobile Uncarrier Next event, the company announced that it would be giving its customers a free year of Pandora Plus. But that wasn’t the only music-related announcement made on stage. Thanks to a new multi-year partnership with Live Nation, customers will soon be able to enjoy exclusive perks such as purchasing tickets to sold-out concerts, discounted tickets, access to exclusive concession stands, and more.

Robert Triggs / Android Authority We first reviewed the Sony Xperia 1 III back in July 2021, calling it Sony’s best smartphone to date. It wasn’t perfect though, due to the high price tag and missing features compared to contemporary flagships. But it still made for a great purchase for Sony fans thanks to the multimedia focus, unique camera experience, and 4K 120Hz screen. We posted our six-month-later review over the weekend and asked readers whether the phone was still buying after all this time.
