The OnePlus 12 will feature a large 6.84-inch OLED panel, making it considerably large for a smartphone and only a fraction away from entering tablet territory. In true OnePlus style, the company aims to use the best-in-class hardware possible, including the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, along with tons of RAM and a decent camera system. However, what will set the upcoming flagship completely apart is the display and, more specifically, its maximum brightness level.

High-capacity portable SSDs tend to be a little expensive, and with Amazon’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals over, some might suspect that such products would creep back to their original prices. With Samsung’s T7 Shield, that is not the case here, as the 4TB model continues to be sold at $199.99 on Amazon. Since this is a portable SSD and not a regular HDD covered in an enclosure, you can back up your data significantly faster, with the drive capable of transfer speeds that go up to 1,050MB/s. Given how programs and applications are using up more storage, those […]
