The OnePlus 12 will be the company's next flagship phone, and it also seems that it will launch next month. This was confirmed by OnePlus on Weibo in which they revealed that the phone will be announced on the 4th of December, 2023.

This is interesting because OnePlus usually makes flagship announcements at the start of the new year, but we have been hearing rumors that OnePlus plans to launch their next flagship phone before the end of 2023 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, and it looks like those rumors are true.

The phone was recently spotted on a certification website so we can't say we're too surprised by this announcement. Whether or not this announcement will cover global availability or just China availability remains to be seen. In the meantime, we have been hearing rumors that the OnePlus 12 could come with cameras that takes advantage of Sony's latest CMOS sensors.

OnePlus also recently confirmed a partnership with display maker BOE, where the handset could feature one of the brightest displays we've ever seen on a smartphone. Either way, we'll find out in the next couple of weeks so mark the date down on your calendar and check back with us on the 4th of December for the details.

Following the launch of MediaTek's latest high-powered mobile SoC not too long ago, Vivo finally announced its newest flagship Android phones, the Vivo X100 and X100 Pro. In addition to some impressive hardware components, the phone also marks the first appearance of the Dimensity 9300 in a commercially-available smartphone.

Aside from the Dimensity 9300 chip inside, the X100 handsets share some similarities, such as curved 6.78-inch AMOLED screens with 1260p resolution and a variable 120Hz refresh rate, and a rather similar design overall, which features a large circular camera module in the rear panel's center, a design element that's common on a lot of smartphones these days.

Both devices also come with Vivo's custom OriginOS, which is based on Android 14 and comes with some Vivo-exclusive apps and third-party software.

There are some notable differences though - for one, the X100 Pro does feature a triple-camera setup with a 1-inch Sony IMX989 main sensor, as well as a telephoto lens certified by Zeiss APO. Meanwhile, the base model X100 comes with a 50MP IMX920 main sensor, a 64MP 1/2" telephoto sensor, and an ultrawide lens.

As for battery specs, the regular X100 model packs a 5,000 mAh battery with 120W fast charging, while its Pro sibling omes with a slightly larger 5,400 mAh battery with 100W charging support, as well as 50W wireless fast charging. Both phones are currently exclusive for Chinese markets.

OnePlus launched its first foldable phone very recently, and it impressed the tech world with its combination of great hardware and outstanding camera system, but also with the level of polish on the software side of things. One feature related to the OnePlus Open's software experience is the multi-tasking tool called 'Open Canvas.' Now, Open Canvas is coming to the OnePlus Pad as well.

What is Open Canvas?

One of the main benefits of a larger screen is, of course, having more space to work with. Yes, having a big display is great for entertainment, but it also makes working and carrying out tasks a much more pleasant experience.

OnePlus' Open Canvas solution aims to make multi-window handling more seamless and natural. It allows users to customize the size and aspect ratio of app windows they have opened up. On the OnePlus Open, you have a cap of three apps in total that can be opened simultaneously: two are running side by side at all times, while a third one remains as a visual cue to the side, always a tap away.

Now, it would make sense if that cap increased for the OnePlus Tab, as the display is much larger than that of the OnePlus Open. Unfortunately, when OnePlus let owners of its first tablet know that Open Canvas is coming to the OnePlus Tab in an AMA on Reddit, it did not specify whether it would function the same way as on the OnePlus Open or if it has any differences and what they might be.

Nevertheless, this sounds like a potentially massive upgrade for the OnePlus Tab, making the tablet's potential as a productivity tool much more potent than it was during its launch at the beginning of this year. It seems like the company is catching the lead on large-screen Android devices.

OnePlus has officially announced their foldable phone - the OnePlus Open, and with that, it marks the company's entry into the foldables market where they will be challenging the likes of companies such as Samsung, Motorola, Oppo, Vivo, and more. But the question is, will the OnePlus Open have what it takes to make it?

One of the more noticeable things about the OnePlus Open is the aspect ratio that the company has chosen, making the outer display look more like your typical smartphone. This is a good thing for those who want to use the outer display from time to time but don't want a narrow design which is what some other handset makers have opted for.

Speaking of the outer display, it measures 6.31-inches and has a peak brightness of 2,800 nits and a refresh rate of 120Hz, making it feel like OnePlus has given thought to its design. As for its inner display, when unfolded, the OnePlus Open measures 7.82-inches with an 89.6% screen-to-body ratio that is further reinforced with a triple layer of protection consisting of an Ultra-Thin Glass, a TPU layer that helps protect it from impact, and an anti-reflective screen protector.

Under the hood, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset can be found, meaning that users can expect the same high-level performance that you might expect from a flagship phone in 2023. It also comes with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, and a 4,805mAh battery that supports 67W SuperVOOC charging.

While some makers of foldable phones tend to focus on the foldable display and end up neglecting the cameras, it seems that OnePlus hasn't.

The OnePlus Open features a triple camera setup where its main shooter is a 48MP Sony Lytia-T808 Pixel Stacked sensor with OIS. It is also accompanied with a 64MP periscope telephoto lens, and a 48MP ultrawide camera. There are also two selfie cams where the outer display has a 32MP camera while the inner display has a 20MP camera. Users can also expect an improved Hasselblad Portrait Mode thanks to the company's ongoing partnership with the camera maker.

The handset will be powered by OxygenOS 13.2, and according to OnePlus, users can rest assured knowing that 95% of mainstream apps are compatible with the foldable display, so they don't have to worry about apps being resized weirdly or having to make adjustments to the way they use their apps.

There is also a new Open Canvas feature that will take advantage of the larger foldable display, giving users a desktop-like taskbar at the bottom of the screen, giving users quick access to apps and more.

If the OnePlus Open is a foldable phone you think you might be on board with, the phone will open for pre-order starting today where it will be priced at $1,699.99. OnePlus is also offering a trade-in program during the pre-order period. This will let you get $200 in trade-in credit for any phone in any condition, which is perfect if you have an old device sitting in your drawer collecting dust, or up to $1,000 off if you have a newer device.

Following teasers of a budget tablet launch a while back, it looks like OnePlus has finally - and officially - launched its second tablet product, in the form of the OnePlus Pad Go. The device is now available for buyers in Indian markets, and is considerably more affordable than the company's flagship OnePlus Pad.

Available in a single "Twin Mint" color variant, the OnePlus Pad Go comes with a rather large 11.35-inch IPS LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a 1720 x 2408 pixel resolution. The tablet maintains the overall design and form factor as on its more expensive sibling, including the unique-looking round camera module. The tablet also packs 8MP cameras on both the front and back.

Inside you'll find up to 256GB of expandable internal storage and 8GB of RAM, which work alongside a MediaTek Helio G99 chipset. For software, the tablet comes with Android 13 with OnePlus' Oxygen OS user interface. The tablet is powered by an 8,000 mAh battery, which comes with support for 33W charging speeds.

As for price, the OnePlus Pad Go starts at around $240 when converted. There's no word yet if the tablet will make its way to more markets, although we might hear more details from OnePlus regarding availability soon.
