The OnePlus 15's display is the best all-around flagship OLED on any smartphone. Primarily for me, that includes a focus on *eye care* versus nonsense lab tests that require nasty crap like low-frequency PWM dimming or color dithering to win.

This is the OnePlus 15, a phone that gets *a lot* right despite what might appear like compromises on the surface. It's not the knock-down-drag-out win I thought the OnePlus 13 was, but it's still one of the best flagship phones you can buy today.

I've tested the OnePlus 15, and it's more iPhone than ever, but it leans so hard into the brand's best traits that I can't ignore its greatness
The OnePlus 15 packs a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 165Hz OLED screen, IP69K resistance rating, 7,300mAh battery, and plenty more impressive specs packed inside a redesigned frame.

Even Realities G2 is official, bringing a stereoscopic HUD via micro-LED projectors and waveguides in a stupidly light 36g frame. Even Realities is also making a smart ring that pairs with the glasses, enabling health monitoring and gesture control.

Picked it up on Steam today to play on Deck and in VR. Best of both worlds!
💜 Lovely review from UploadVR! 🙏🏻
[ICYMI, both the PS5 and Steam versions can optionally be played in VR if you've got a headset! And, you should, because it's an awesome way to play.]

First I see a "Stray, but a dog instead of a cat" game announced this week and now this. Doggo lovers are about to get some nice treats
Inu Atsume VR swaps cats for dogs with a new virtual pet sim from the Neko Atsume developers, and it's out next week on Quest.

The visual appeal of this phone has grown on me significantly, and I think it looks better in person than in pictures. What hasn't grown on me are the stupid, uncomfortable flat sides. My GOSH I hate this design trend. Hate hate, double hate, loathe entirely.

Earlier this week, I got an update for my Ray-Ban Meta Gen 1s and BOY OH BOY did they improve stabilization! You can also now select between stabilization options, but the auto mode does a great job out of the box. Check out the difference!

Oakley Meta Vanguard is finally here! They're the most unique smart/AI glasses on the market thanks to the rugged style, centered camera, IP67 protection, and Garmin integration. Michael Hicks for AC says they're "basically the Ultra smartwatch" of the smart glasses category.

Anyone ever use one of these gaming pillows for a Steam Deck or Switch 2? I'm considering picking one up as a more permanent solution versus just piling up a bunch of pillows on the couch.

E readers are so amazing. Reading Project Hail Mary on the BigMe HighBreak Pro on a long drive back home. Really impressed with this as an E Ink phone and easily the best one I've used so far. Feels like a regular Android phone with a paper display.

I took my Oakley Meta HSTNs on several runs and to the gym and came away generally impressed. Image stabilization from these frames, in particular, is stunning and is probably the biggest selling point for anyone looking to capture their outings.

I only just now saw that there's a gameplay overview for House House's new game Big Walk, and I don't think I've ever seen a more perfect example of a title that would benefit immensely from an optional VR mode.

I love how Nintendo constantly changes paradigms in big "reboot" releases. When BotW came out, suddenly you could go anywhere, climb anything, fly when you wanted. It ruined other open world games for me. Totally spoiled the player and gave true navigational freedom.
