A week after the launch of the much awaited OnePlus 6T, the handset is already breaking records, at least as far as unboxing are concerned with a whopping 559 phones getting unboxed at the same time.

If you’re looking for something more affordable, OnePlus officially released A pair of USB Type-C headphones, the Bullets 2T.

Xiaomi

The launch of the Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 brought some neat software features such as the Night Scene mode and 960fps slow motion videos. Now these features are also available on older Mi flagships including the Mi 8, Mi 8 Pro and Mi MIX 2S.

Meanwhile if you really a Mi MIX 3, you might want to wait for the shiny new Emerald version to go on sale.
