OnePlus 11 5G Review: This Flagship Ticks All the Right Boxes, Except for One

A lot has changed at OnePlus over the past couple of years. The company has merged with OPPO, and OnePlus’ OxygenOS now shares a common codebase with OPPO’s ColorOS.

Take a Look at the New OnePlus 11 5G, and Let Us Know What You Think!

Returning to its roots, OnePlus has taken a bold step with its latest smartphone release; rather than being one of several flagship models offered, the OnePlus 11 5G stands alone.

However, there is one feature you won’t find on this new device; will its omission be a deal breaker for you?

Nomad Modern Leather Case for 2nd Gen AirPods Pro Review: Cover Your AirPods with Leather Luxury

I have a number of excellent true wireless earbuds (TWE) from which to choose, but my daily driver is the AirPod Pro earbuds.

I recently explained to my son that once upon a time, phones didn’t fit in our pockets; instead, they were mounted on the wall. He was incredulous and seemed to think I had grown up in the stone age. I don’t blame him since he’s growing up in a world where every phone he encounters has a fair amount of power.
