OnePlus takes on the iPad with its most powerful tablet ever

The OnePlus Nord 4 makes a strong first impression with its bold colorways and predominantly metal design. OnePlus’ Summer Showcase event in Milan gave us a swathe of new hardware to be excited about, from smartphones to earbuds, a new watch, and a powerful new tablet, the OnePlus Pad 2. But I was most interested in spending some time testing out the new lead entry in the company’s Nord smartphone line.

I think the Nord 4 is shaping up to be easily the best OnePlus Nord phone yet — here's why

If it ain't broke, don't replace it. When was the last time you got a new phone? For me, it was last week. Before that, it might have been three weeks ago. Before that, well, you get the idea — I have some of the best Android phones from the last few years floating around my apartment. In some cases, I have multiple generations of the same lineup, like Google Pixel devices back to the Pixel 6 series and iPhones back to the iPhone 12, and I’ve used them all. It’s a fortunate position to be in, but also one that shows how little tends to change from one year to the next. As someone whose SIM is always on the move, here’s how often I think you should get a new phone.

However, whether it’s the ability to reach the furthest corners or the option to scrub a particularly messy area thoroughly, there’s definitely an advantage to using a handheld cleaner.

Looking for your next tablet, but don’t want to spend too much? Google’s Pixel Tablet is a capable device that can go head-to-head with any Android tablet out there. Yet it’s still almost $200 cheaper than Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S8 at $499 (with dock). And thanks to Amazon Prime Day, Prime members can get the Pixel Tablet at a significantly reduced cost.

The Pixel Tablet is at its lowest price in months in this Prime Day deal

Why buy the Z Flip 6 when the Z Flip 5 is available at a significant discount?. Samsung just launched the Galaxy Z Flip 6 last week, and it offers a few notable upgrades over the Z Flip 5 as well as a $100 price hike. But you really should consider last year’s foldable phone now that it’s received a discount on Prime Day 2024.

Skip the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and get this Galaxy Z Flip 5 Prime Day deal

It was already a good deal, but now it's a great one. I fell in love with the OnePlus 12 for one reason and one reason only — it’s a beast of a gaming phone without the full flagship cost. Alright, maybe there are two reasons: because it doesn’t have the over-the-top aggressive styling we’ve come to expect from gaming phones, either. Regardless, it’s a great gaming phone with a jam-packed spec sheet, and it’s even better now that it’s down to just $699 as part of Amazon’s Prime Day celebration.

The OnePlus 12 is my favorite phone for gaming, and at $699 it's a freaking steal on Prime Day
