OnePlus became a household name with a very simple formula: selling phones with flagship specs that are comparable to Samsung’s best offerings, but for hundreds of dollars less.

That worked in the early days, but as OnePlus expanded globally beyond smartphones to other tech such as tablets, wearables, smart TVs, and even mechanical keyboards, it’s clear the company has neglected the formula that made it successful in the first place.

Enter the OnePlus 12. The flagship Android smartphone is a return to the company’s original mission to make “flagship killers” and doubles down on improvements to core phone features like performance, display, battery life, and cameras. The OnePlus 12 also adds the wireless charging that its predecessor didn’t have and throws in new quality-of-life features that aren’t found on Samsung or Apple phones, like the ability to still tap and swipe on the screen even when it’s wet.

All of that for $799.99 is a steal. The fact that OnePlus is taking an additional $100 off the retail price when you trade in any phone in any condition only makes it seem like there has to be a catch, but there isn’t. $700-$800 for a “pro” or “ultra” class phone instead of $1,000+ is unheard of, but somehow OnePlus has done the seemingly impossible.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a direct follow-up to 2020’s Yakuza: Like a Dragon, which wildly altered Sega’s long-running series by introducing turn-based combat, a brand new protagonist, and a host of other changes.

Like a Dragon game felt wildly innovative in 2020, and while Infinite Wealth isn’t nearly as revelatory, it’s a sequel that successfully builds on nearly everything from its predecessor, with ambition to spare in both storytelling and scope. It’s the longest game the series has ever seen, and the most “Yakuza” Yakuza game imaginable — in the best way possible.
