I’ve Waited So Long to See the OnePlus Smartwatch and, Well…There It Is

It’s not every day that a new player enters the smartwatch game, so I was intrigued when OnePlus’s then-CEO Carl Pei hinted last summer that a wearable might be on the way. The rumors have been ramping up the past few weeks, and now we know what the watch will look like. After months of…

The Best Smartphone For Every Need

“What’s the best smartphone?” It’s a question I hear at least once or twice a month. That’s fine. It comes with the territory, really.

Hell Yeah, OnePlus One Is Now Available for Everyone 

When the OnePlus One came out last year, it was a killer deal: a $300 off-contract smartphone so beautiful, it made Google look like poop for charging so much for the Nexus.
