OnePlus likes to talk a lot about CMF – colours, material, finish – when it talks about new phones. It’s the design philosophy that’s seen the company explore every shade of blue and texture of glass it can find in the name of perfecting the look and feel of a phone. Historically, OnePlus has nailed this. We’ve seen it in the sandstone finish that defined the OnePlus One to such an extent that the company still ships sandstone cases for other phones....

Microsoft has shifted its attention to Windows 11 in the last year, although the company hasn’t forgotten about Windows 10 entirely. The upcoming 22H2 update will apparently include a “scoped set of new features”, but you don’t have to wait until it arrives for an update that’s worth installing.
