At this point, we know almost everything there is to know about HTC’s upcoming flagship handset, the All New HTC One, and it looks great. Unfortunately, given the value of its predecessor, the HTC One, the flagship won’t be a cheap affair, at least for those of us who forgo the two-year contract for an unlocked version. For you, AT&T decided to swoop down and give a few away.

From March 21 through March 25, AT&T will give away “an amazing new HTC device” each day. If you want a shot at getting HTC’s upcoming flagship handset for free, you will have to sign up using your email and name. Unfortunately, only residents of the United States can enter the giveaway, so apologies to our international readers.

HTC is expected to unveil the All New HTC One on March 25, with the handset itself powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM. The handset is expected to be equipped with a 5-inch 1080p display that no longer has capacitive buttons at the bottom. Rather, HTC will have on-screen buttons on the new Android 4.4 KitKat phone.

The highlight feature of the handset is rumored to be two camera sensors on the back. By using two sensors, the camera will reportedly have better focus, depth of field, and image quality.

HTC will have a livestream of the event, which is currently in countdown mode.

OnePlus wants your help to plant thousands of new trees

A OnePlus phone being traded in for a OnePlus 10 Pro.

Lately, we've been seeing a trend of giant tech companies taking steps toward more sustainable practices, although some of them have been debated for their effectiveness. Now, OnePlus is launching a new initiative aiming to have several thousand trees planted each year in exchange for returned devices. The company is partnering with climate action organization Ecologi in order to carry out its new sustainability effort properly.

Each returned OnePlus device will result in the planting of one tree in dedicated forest areas across the world. As mentioned above, the company expects to have several thousand trees planted per year as a result of people returning their devices in favor of picking up OnePlus' newest releases — such as the OnePlus 10T, the OnePlus 10 Pro, and the Nord 2T.

The OnePlus 10T is the right OnePlus phone at the wrong time

Back of the OnePlus 10T.

The OnePlus 10T is an oddly positioned smartphone, to say the least. It contradicts OnePlus' recent stride toward premium offerings with devices such as the OnePlus 9 Pro and the OnePlus 10 Pro. Instead, it appears to shoulder the same "never settle" spirit that OnePlus was once famous for, being geared toward users who demand unbeatable performance but who can compromise on the cosmetic or camera fronts.

While the OnePlus 10T offers top-of-the-line specifications, the 10T also accommodates some compromises for a more reasonable price. These shortcomings deflect it to the class of flagship killers, below the true flagships, which recent OnePlus numeric series phones have tended toward. All these changes stir up a sense that the company is trying to break through the image it has created in the last few years, especially since its readmission into camp Oppo.
