You may be excited to hear about OnePlus 9 when it launches later this month, but OnePlus phones are rarely a surprise. The company has long suffered from a cat that is always coming out of the bag, with phone specifications, renderings and in-the-wild photo shoots punctuating any advertising campaign. This goes hand in hand with the company’s often fragmented ad strategy. Prepare for the launch of your mid-sized Nord phone last year. You should remember that OnePlus announced its plans for a more affordable phone and then announced what it would be called, then announced the features of the camera. Even the color and price were a month before the OnePlus officially revealed the Nord in every detail.

So, as expected, we knew that OnePlus would announce a Hasselblad connection for its cameras on its next main phone. We saw the leak and here is the official provocation. Only OnePlus can decide whether its relentless PR dam is a better approach than keeping a secret, but expect to hear a lot more about OnePlus 9 in preparation for the company’s March 21 launch event. Hopefully, there will be something to tell us.

Participate in the Alpha Skip-Ahead test and you will have a web experience with enhanced compatibility and synchronization with Edge on multiple platforms. It still has a lot of errors – and you still can’t use a mouse or keyboard with it. Theoretically, though, you might as well play Google Stadia on your Xbox in the future. Keep reading.

He’s trying to give Sputnik-V an advantage.
Just because there are no big elections at the moment, that doesn’t stop the disinformation train. US State Department officials say Russia is running a disinformation campaign to shake confidence in the COVID-19 vaccines that compete with Sputnik-V. ONE WSJ report names New Eastern Outlook, News Front, Oriental Review and Rebel Inside, who cast baseless doubts about vaccines like Pfizer’s, falsely calling mRNA delivery a “radical experimental technology”. All four sites are “directly” linked to Russian agencies. Keep reading.
