The OnePlus 9 is very, very similar to the OnePlus 9 Pro. Today we’re going to decide if it’s worth buying one over the other – and if it’s time to upgrade from an older OnePlus device. The OnePlus 9 Pro is approximately $240 more than the non-Pro device, comparing both devices with their lowest-tier base pricing. Both have the same display, Hassleblad branding, and a similar camera setup – so what’s the difference?

A rumor this week suggests that Apple may make use of display technology similar to what’s in play with the OnePlus 9 Pro. Not that the two will be compared directly – they’re running different operating systems, after all – and it’s unlikely the iPhone 13 will have a curved-edge front panel. But the OnePlus 9 Pro works with LTPO AMOLED right now, while the iPhone 13’s LTPO AMOLED remains a rumor until reveal. A 120Hz image refresh rate on an iPhone is a long time coming. The iPad Pro had “ProMotion” since 2017 – 120Hz image refresh rate in…

Slack is adding the ability to direct message users at other companies, with Slack Connect paring back some of the separation between different teams. It’s the latest attempt by the popular business messaging platform – which Salesforce is currently in the process of acquiring for $27.7 billion – to oust email from the office. Slack became a darling of workplaces well before the pandemic forced remote working to go widespread. Consisting of a different rooms for group discussions, smaller conversations for teams, and individual messaging between users, it aimed to cut down on unnecessary and unwieldy email chains as well…
OnePlus just launched its first-ever smartwatch and, for some people, the OnePlus Watch’s classy style is perfect for every occasion. Some, however, need a wearable that’s built like a tank that can survive the same environments and operating conditions their wearers go through. For that purpose, Amazfit, whose parent Huami traces its roots to the famed Xiaomi, created the T-Rex Pro smartwatch to be as tough as its prehistoric namesake while not going extinct. Amazfit actually already launched a rugged smartwatch that looked the part last year under the name of T-Rex. As this new model’s name suggests, the T-Rex…
Habro has introduced a fun new toy for young Mandalorian fans: the snack-eating Galactic Snackin’ Grogu. This ‘baby Yoda’ toy is as adorable as it is hungry, and it’ll be available to purchase starting in October. Among other things, kids can ‘feed’ Grogu using a little plastic spoon. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Disney’s The Mandalorian series, Grogu — most commonly referred to as baby Yoda — has quite an appetite and is frequently munching on something. It’s no surprise, then, that Hasbro went with that theme for its latest Star Wars universe toy. The Galactic Snackin’…
Dreams of delivering products via drones or even self-driving cars have been around for years, maybe even decades. The current pandemic, however, made such contactless systems seem almost even more necessary than before. Those technologies and the laws around them are still in development but some have already started to pave the way to make that the new normal. In Ireland, for example, Samsung will be delivering some of its most recent mobile devices via drones to make the process not only safe but also faster. Even with online shopping, the gap between ordering something and receiving it can take…
Master & Dynamic has a new set of true wireless earbuds to tempt your ears and torment your wallet, with the MW08 throwing in hybrid active noise cancellation and a promised uptick in sound quality. Successors to 2019’s MW07 Plus, the MW08 keep the chunky styling – looking a little like ingots lodged in your ear canals – but go more upscale in the materials. Gone is the acetate casing of the old earbuds, with Master & Dynamic opting for a mixture of ceramic and aluminum for the MW08. They’re also smaller than the old earbuds, and that has meant…
It’s been a little over a year since we last heard from the Black Shark gaming phone, and today Xiaomi is back with a new lineup. The company introduced the Black Shark 4 and Black Shark 4 Pro today, and while the two phones are similar in terms of hardware, there are some key differences between the two. Those differences aside, both Black Shark 4 devices are obviously intended to be the go-to phones for mobile gaming, and they’ve certainly got the feature set to back that claim. Similar to what we saw in the Black Shark 3, the Black…
