OnePlus 10 Pro’s global launch is still a couple months away

By Prakhar Khanna Published March 30, 2022

Potential global customers of the OnePlus 10 Pro will have to wait for another couple of months to get their hands on the device. The OnePlus 10 Pro flagship technically launched recently, but it is limited to China and hasn’t yet reached any of the company’s global markets, including the United States. The device is expected to go global by the end of March, which is still a few weeks away.

According to a report from 91Mobiles, the OnePlus 10 Pro has entered private testing in India and Europe. With the 2022 flagship, OnePlus is taking a new approach to launching its devices. Up until now, the company has announced and rolled out its recent flagships in the global markets alongside the China announcement. However, the OnePlus 10 Pro is seeing a new Oppo-style approach of having a staggered release of both details and devices.

The OnePlus 10 Pro features a 6.7-inch 2K Fluid AMOLED LTPO 2.0 display, which comes with a 120Hz refresh rate, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, and a hole-punch selfie shooter. It also boasts Dolby Atmos, an in-display fingerprint sensor, His-Res audio, and an alert slider. The smartphone runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, paired with up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage.

It runs Android 12 OS with ColorOS 12.1 out of the box in China.

Price details are still unknown, but we expect to have more information on that closer to the global launch.

Apple’s latest iOS 27.2 trick could keep you out of the doghouse

Apple is testing anniversary alerts in Call Context for dates saved in the Contacts app

Apple only started rolling out iOS 27 yesterday, but Apple is already working on the next update, which has a small feature that could prove surprisingly useful. As MacRumors points out, the latest iOS 27.2 beta adds an anniversary reminder to Call Context, which can warn you about an important date just before you place a call.

Call Context itself arrived with iOS 27. We previously covered one of its more delightful tricks, where calling someone on their birthday brings up a reminder along with a small fireworks animation. The iOS 27.2 beta now takes that idea a little further by adding anniversaries into the mix.

I feel like the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is the right kind of passport foldable

Passport foldables are everywhere now, but Samsung got the proportions right

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 foldable smartphone

Passport-style foldables are returning, but in a foldable format. Samsung completely changed direction with the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Xiaomi followed with the 18 Fold, and Apple has now entered the category with the iPhone Duo. Even though the original Google Pixel Fold explored the same short-and-wide idea years ago, this is looking like the new smartphone trend in 2026.

After spending years with book-style foldables, I am warming up to this decision. I prefer the idea of keeping the phone compact when closed and opening it only when I need more room.

The RAM shortage could last for years, and smaller tech brands are feeling it first

From flexible motherboards to advance orders, device makers are getting creative to keep products alive.

Installing RAM Memory on a framework laptop

The memory shortage is no longer just a problem for PC builders hunting for affordable RAM. Smaller phone and laptop makers are now changing how they design, manufacture, and price their products as the supply crunch threatens to stretch through 2027 and potentially beyond. And according to a report by Reuters, the bigger problem isn't even the price anymore. It's getting enough memory in the first place.

Smaller brands are getting creative because RAM isn't playing nice
