This week in Android: The good, the bad, and the beauty of OnePlus
This was a big week in mobile, especially on the other side of the aisle. Apple had its annual smartphone launch event which revealed three new phones and a new watch. It must be nice to have a new watch coming out. Anyway…
OnePlus brought us some tears of joy and frustration this week as we found some very good reasons to look forward to the OnePlus 6T and one very small reason not to — small as in 3.5mm to be precise. That’s right, as much as OnePlus is doing right with this device, that headphone jack thing is going to bug us, for sure.
Finally, we look forward to Google’s next device launch, the next step in silicone chip design, and our full Samsung Galaxy Note 9 camera review is in. It’s pretty awesome.
