OnePlus reveals upcoming Pad Go tablet

OnePlus today revealed the design of its upcoming OnePlus Pad Go tablet. Following seven months after the release of its first ever tablet, the OnePlus Pad, the Pad Go seems like a cheaper variant.

The biggest difference is that the back now has a two-tone finish while still being largely made out of aluminum. The OnePlus Pad Go also shares the color with...

But is that enough to get you to upgrade? Hold your horses, there are so many upgrades that we need to talk about. Like the...

Apple updates AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C, Lossless Audio and IP54 rating

Yesterday marked a monumental shift for Apple – Lightning is now a connector of the past while USB-C is fully embraced.

The Pixel 8's Tensor G3 will run cooler than the G2

The Tensor G3 chip, which is reportedly made by Samsung and is based on its Exynos 2400, could be the first Samsung Foundry chip to incorporate FO-WLP (Fan-out wafer-level packaging) packaging.
