Eagerly awaiting the arrival of Oppo’s luxury level Find 7 smartphone? Thanks to global design directory Red Dot, we have a sneak preview of what the mobile will look like, and it’s sporting a refined and minimal style. According to the listing that has appeared online, the mobile will, as rumored, feature a 5.5-inch screen with a whopping 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution.

The camera is listed as a 13-megapixel model though, some way short of the 50-megapixel snapper that we had been hearing about from the rumor mill. Either the rumors were wrong or there are multiple models in the works. The front and back of the Find 7 follow a discreet, understated style, and there’s a crescent-shaped “breath light” down at the bottom of the display for alerting you to notifications from the phone and its apps.

If you’re just getting up to speed with the Oppo Find 7 story, the device has been officially confirmed as on the way by its manufacturer, and a launch event is already scheduled to take place on March 19. 4G LTE is expected to be on board, while the Red Dot listing points to a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor.

While it’s not a big player in the mobile market, Oppo has raised one or two eyebrows with its quirky and innovative handsets. You may recall the Oppo N1, which includes a rotating camera, rear-mounted touch panel and a modded version of Android. The Find 7’s immediate predecessor the Find 5, meanwhile, appeared in December 2012.

Should you buy the Google Pixel 7 or wait for the Google Pixel 8?

The Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7a on a table.

Google will soon launch the new Google Pixel 8 smartphone lineup. Although the Google Pixel 7 and Google Pixel 7 Pro are some of the best Android phones, it's now nearly one year since their release. These phones have impressive features like top-tier camera systems, gorgeous displays, and striking designs. However, the Pixel 7 has slow charging and poor gaming performance, while the Pixel 7 Pro has mediocre battery life and a substandard fingerprint sensor, among other negatives.

It's time to answer the question: Should you consider the Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, or even the lower-cost Google Pixel 7a if you're in the market for a new smartphone, or should you wait until the new models arrive? The answer largely depends on your willingness to wait. Regardless, we are here to help you make an informed decision by giving you everything you need to know about the differences between the Pixel 7 family and the upcoming Pixel 8 models.

Nothing Phone 2 vs. Google Pixel 7: which $599 phone is best?

Nothing Phone 2 next to the Google Pixel 7.

The upstart company Nothing created quite a stir when it came on the scene a little over two years ago, with OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei promising to shake up the mobile phone industry in the same way his former company did in its fledgling days. While Nothing started small with the Ear 1 earbuds, it quickly followed that up with the Nothing Phone 1 — a new Android handset that was like nothing we’d seen before (no pun intended).

Now, it’s released its second act, the Nothing Phone 2, a $600 smartphone that impresses in nearly every way. It’s an exciting new phone in an era where the alternatives have become considerably more staid — and that’s even more true in the U.S.

The Pixel 8 may fix two of my biggest complaints about the Pixel 7

The back of the Pixel 7 Pro held in a person's hand.

The Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are expected to arrive later this fall, and despite being months away from their release date, we're already learning a lot about them. Most recently, a new report has shed some light on various specs for the two phones — and it looks promising.

Over the weekend, Android Authority shared a few exclusive details about the Pixel 8 family, citing a "source inside Google" from which they came from. There's plenty to dig through here, but the most interesting has to do with the reported battery life and charging upgrades.
