OnePlus’ first event for 2020 is only a matter of hours away, which means we’re oh-so close to knowing what the Flagship Killer has in store for us this year. The event is due to kick off at 8 a.m. PT on Tuesday, April 14 — and we’re expecting to see the company take the wraps off three new OnePlus phones.

That’s right, OnePlus is set to release more phones at once than ever before, with the OnePlus 8 Pro, OnePlus 8, and OnePlus 8 Lite rumored to be seeing the light of day during the announcement. There’s a lot to get excited about with the new OnePlus phones, including incredibly fast wireless charging, a 120Hz refresh rate, and the usual specs bumps to boot.

We’ll be covering the action as it happens, but the event isn’t industry-only. If you’re desperate to get the news on the latest OnePlus devices as soon as you possibly can, you can watch the event as it unfolds live. But what’s the best way to do so?

OnePlus describes the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite as, “exuding a simple charm,” and in the world of folding smartphones and $1,500 iPhone models, there are probably a lot of people looking for a phone exactly like it.

If you’re new to the Nord series, these occupy the lower end of the market compared to the flagship OnePlus 11 and are released outside of the U.S., where instead the company releases phones like the OnePlus N300.

In the past few years, iPhones haven’t seen any kind of big new innovation. The Dynamic Island had the potential to be the innovation we'd been waiting for, but that hasn't come to fruition. When you add all that together, it makes the iPhone the most boring phone you can buy in 2023. Here’s why.
