OnePlus 16 is official with 9,000mAh battery, Week 42 in review

The OnePlus 16 is official, with a mammoth 9,000mAh battery. The power plant supports 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. Elsewhere on the phone, there's the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 (still can't cope with this name), a 6.78-inch LTPO OLED display that can go up to 185Hz in select games, and a triple camera, consisting of a 200MP wide-angle, a 50MP 3x telephoto, and a 50MP ultrawide.

Unboxing the vivo V80 Design-wise, the vivo V80 sits in the middle between its predecessor, the V70, and a recent iPhone Pro. It's built like the V70 with a matte metal frame...

Checking back again on them this week, we see that all phones now cost more. That is on Amazon, anyway, so we went over to see what Walmart has to offer. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 is currently $1,700 on Amazon, while it was $1,650 last week (this is for a 12/256GB unit). Walmart has it at $1,640, though, so it’s not too late to pick one up.
