The OnePlus 7T doesn't want any drama. It's simple in the best way -- it does everything you want it to, without making life complicated.

Light Phone 2 review: Not the cure for smartphone addiction
Is your smartphone use out of control? Looking for a break? The Light Phone 2 is a basic phone that promises exactly that. Its 4G connectivity means you can place calls and send texts, and you can also set an alarm. More tools like ridesharing apps are on the way, but all of this comes at a high price.
Samsung Galaxy A50 review: Value flagship
The Samsung Galaxy A50 has a beefy battery, a big screen, a slick software experience, and solid performance. At just $350, it’s an exceptional phone -- but it faces stiff competition from the likes of Google’s Pixel 3a. Here’s our Galaxy A50 review.
LG G8X ThinQ Dual Screen review
Don't call the LG G8X ThinQ a folding smartphone. It's not one of those mega-expensive devices, and it actually has three screens and not two. What is it, then? It's a quirky device for serious multi-tasking. However, like folding smartphones, you're going to have to make some compromises.
OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition hands-on review: A looker
Sure to become the most desirable, and certainly the rarest, of all the new OnePlus 7T series phones, the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition has a key design feature that's unexpected to say the least. It makes this high performance phone standout, and even more of a conversation piece than expected.
OnePlus 7T Pro review: A real beauty, inside and out
Sleeker, more stylish, and with some tempting tech upgrades, the OnePlus 7T Pro is everything the OnePlus 7T is and then a little bit more. There's a slightly bigger battery inside along with 3x optical zoom in the camera. But is that enough to recommend you pay more for it?

Punkt MP-02 hands-on review
Punkt’s second phone, the MP-02, doesn’t follow the generally accepted update cycle, adding only three main new features, one of which is a 4G LTE connection. Wondering why you’d want such a phone? Us too, so we discovered the reasons, and they’re very compelling. It’s a fascinating little phone you’re going to love.
Huawei Mate X hands-on review: The future in our hands
Want to see into the future? Here it is: The Huawei Mate X. Despite a longer than expected wait for its final arrival, it's almost ready to go on sale, and it's still as exciting as before. The frightening price tag hasn't changed, and there are new concerns over the software, but we still want one.
OnePlus 6T review
The biannual OnePlus launch has become so regular that we almost take it for granted, but does that mean we should be less excited about it than before? No. The OnePlus 6T is here, and although it shares many features with the OnePlus 6, there are some awesome upgrades to tempt you into buying one.

Is Sony's Xperia 5 a true successor to the much-loved and now mostly deceased Compact series of Sony phones that packed winning specs into a smaller, more easy to handle body? Almost.

ZTE Axon 10 Pro review: Great performance for $549
The ZTE Axon 10 Pro is the Chinese company's first flagship phone to make it to the U.S. in two years, after the U.S. ban that lifted in 2018. It doesn't support 5G, but it does bring killer specifications at an affordable $549 price point, giving OnePlus and the OnePlus 7 Pro a run for its money.
