OnePlus 7 review: Not ‘Pro’ but definitely not amateur [Video]
September 16, 2019
The OnePlus 7 isn’t officially coming to the North American market and that is a disappointment because this is a fantastic follow-up to the OnePlus 6T, even if it feels very much like a retread.
While we still don’t have any official line for why this is the case, it would be foolish not to think that this was a move by OnePlus to sell more 7 Pro devices in the US and Canada.

The Galaxy Note 9 a year later: Still good, but not for everyone

Honor 20 review
September 16, 2019
The Honor 20 series premiere couldn’t have had a worse timing – the phones went official just as the Trump administration in the US imposed a ban on US-based companies from working with Huawei – Honor’s parent company. This cast a serious shadow on the future of these phones even before they were released so their launch was naturally delayed.
