OnePlus CEO, Pete Lau just posted a couple of pictures of the unannounced OnePlus 7T on Twitter. Showcasing its fourth-generation matte-frosted glass. These pictures showcase the backside of the OnePlus 7T, and not the front. So the front is still a mystery, for now. But that will likely change as we get closer to the launch on September 26 (that's next week!). A familiar, but still new design The OnePlus 7T does look somewhat similar to the OnePlus 7. But the camera module is very different. Instead of it being a vertical camera module, with all three cameras in a vertical line, OnePlus has a much larger circular module for the cameras.The cameras are horizontal this time, with the flash at the bottom. The reason for this larger module has not been detailed just yet. But it wouldn't be too surprising to see OnePlus house all of the sensors in that large module. Like laser autofocus and such. OnePlus did stick with a blue color for the OnePlus 7T. It may not be called "Nebula Blue" … [Read more...] about OnePlus Just Posted Pictures Of The OnePlus 7T
The Google Pixel 4 Marketing Machine Is Now In Overdrive
Google announced its annual Made By Google event yesterday, and it's taking place on October 15. Now its marketing machine for the Google Pixel 4 has gone into overdrive preparing for the event and building up hype. A reddit user noticed in Times Square yesterday that there is a big ad for the event itself. That is something we don't see often, only really for Samsung and Google events. The ad reads, "Hey Google, set a reminder for October 15" and it essentially confirms the orange Pixel 4 that we've seen in the leaks. Google really isn't trying to hide the fact that the Pixel 4 has been leaked like crazy leading up to the event next month.Building hype for a launch is nothing new This is a little bit of "inside baseball" here, but companies are always looking for ways to build hype for a launch event, ahead of that event. And that's what Google is doing here. Taking over a huge billboard in Times Square is a good way to do that. After all, on average 330,000 people pass through Times … [Read more...] about The Google Pixel 4 Marketing Machine Is Now In Overdrive
Apple invests $250 million in the company behind Gorilla Glass
Apple is investing $250 million in Corning, the company behind Gorilla Glass. Corning has worked with Apple on every iPhone since the original. The money comes from a $5 billion fund that Apple set aside to advance U.S. manufacturing. Corning produces its screens at its plant in Harrodsburg, Kentucky. chipmaker Finisar Corp, and $10 million to an aluminum venture to create a carbon-free aluminum smelting process.

OnePlus 7T rear design teased by CEO ahead of official launch
OnePlus' habit of slowly dribbling product details culminates today with an advance look at the upcoming OnePlus 7T. Founder and CEO Pete Lau has taken to Twitter and the OnePlus forums to give us this early glimpse, posting two photos showing off the new rear design, plus a couple of early sketches for flavor. The OnePlus 7T looks set to come in a gradient blue color similar to the "Nebula Blue" used in the previous generation, though this seems to be a few shades lighter. It will also be matte again, though we might feel some difference in texture given Lau is touting a new "4th generation" frosted glass. Not restricting himself to Twitter's 280-character limit, Lau also posted a long design diatribe to OnePlus' forums, praising all the "little things that you don't even notice" when it comes to the anticipated phone. In substance, it's all just so much marketing, but the company does tease a new "metallic" matte surface thanks to ongoing work in chemical etching. When it comes to … [Read more...] about OnePlus 7T rear design teased by CEO ahead of official launch
