We could see the OnePlus 9 series of phones (including probably a OnePlus 9 Pro, and perhaps a OnePlus 9 Lite too) very soon, as OnePlus is one of the phone makers which puts out its first batch of smartphones in the first few months of each year. Now that the Samsung Galaxy S21 has been revealed, the OnePlus 9 is one of the next big events in smartphone fan calendars, so it's understandable that you'd want to know everything that's leaked about the phones so far. Other upcoming phones Sony Xperia 1 III Oppo Find X3 iPhone SE 3 iPhone 13 Nokia 10 OnePlus had a busy 2020 with the OnePlus 8T , the OnePlus Nord N10 5G , and the OnePlus Nord N100 in the last few months of the year, and before that the OnePlus 8 , OnePlus 8 Pro and OnePlus Nord .

The iPhone 12 Pro is undoubtedly the most powerful phone Apple has ever released, and on sheer digital muscle, it ranks at the top of benchmarks in our testing. But what does that mean for gaming? We chatted with a handful of devs about how their upcoming high-profile games will play on an iPhone 12 – and what you might miss out on if you don’t upgrade. Broadly speaking, iPhones get better and better internals every year, with better specs powering better graphics. Playing the newest games on older phones means you’ll miss out on effects that add graphical polish, like advanced lighting, depth of field, and environmental touches like clouds or shadows. Gaming on new phones means a superior visual experience, and these days, mobile game graphics aren’t too far behind consoles. When it comes to older and lower-spec phones, developers prioritize something other than graphical flourishes. To preserve playability, they strive for a consistent framerate, explains Ethan Young, development...

Four million Vikings! That’s the latest news from the team at Iron Gate, a small group of Swedish developers who have overseen the most staggering indie game launch of the year so far. Valheim is an early access survival title that has comprehensively taken over Steam, clocking in over 500,000 concurrent players at one time on February 21, just 19 days after the game’s launch. With four million players and counting and an ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ rating after 90,000 user reviews, it doesn’t look like it’s slowing down anytime soon, either. It’s quite an unusual game to be sitting so high on Steam’s most-played list, just behind gigantic esports behemoths like DOTA 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. In Valheim, you play as a fallen Norse warrior trapped in purgatory who has to craft and explore their way through the realm, building up to progress-gating boss battles.  It’s also nowhere near as refined as its peers. Valheim doesn’t feature sl...
