Oppo introduced the Reno11 smartphones today, and we also saw a tablet on stage. Meet the Pad Air2 – a device with a big screen and battery, which is actually the OnePlus Pad Go, renamed for the Chinese market. Oppo did not reveal the full specs sheet of the Pad Air2 at launch, but we can see it is the same device as the OnePlus tablet without the cool-looking green color.

OnePlus has always enjoyed playing with textures for its phones' rears, and it looks like the OnePlus 12 will come with a surprise up its sleeve. According to prolific (and often right) Digital Chat Station, the upcoming flagship smartphone will be available in one version that will have a wood texture back. Or maybe it's a wood texture case, machine translation is ambiguous, and the picture itself sure doesn't help make things clear either. It's also up for debate if it's going to be actual wood, or just plastic or glass (or another material) made to mimic wood texture. OnePlus has...

The popular Samsung Galaxy A54 and the new Galaxy S23 FE are similarly priced smartphones that have become hot offers during the Black Friday craziness. And that is why we’ve decided to pit those two against each other and see which one turns out to be worthy of getting and why. The Galaxy S23 FE is more like a Galaxy S22 FE that's late to the party as it features the previous generation chips, and it shares much of the S22 series hardware. The extra weight and thicker bezels give away its less-than-premium nature, thus positioning it closer to the Galaxy A series instead. Table of...
