OnePlus 8 Series Review: Which One Would Be Best for You?

I’ve been testing the OnePlus 8 series for a bit over a month, and I have good news: the phones are very well made, and the cameras are better than expected. Long story short, starting at $699 for the OnePlus 8 and starting at $899 for the OnePlus 8 Pro, both of these phones have a lot going for them. Let’s dig in.




Qualcomm Brings More 5G to the Party with the Snapdragon 865 Plus 5G

5G is rapidly coming to phones, laptops, tablets, and anything else that connects you to the world.

Fender Acoustasonic Stratocaster, the Shape-Shifting Guitar
