This week in Android: Motorola is back! OnePlus in trouble? Samsung giveaway

August 23, 2025

Survey says: TheOnePlus 7T is better than the OnePlus 8!Sorry, that’s not quite what it says, but it looks like most of you would take the older7Tover thenewer phone. Why is that? Could the answer be thatsome OnePlus 8 Pro units are suffering from green screen tintand black crush issues? Maybe you’re just worried because they arecutting tons of jobs in Europe? Oh, maybe it’s justthe price.

Motorola isn’t dead. A name we don’t get to use enough around here, Motorola has announced a few new machines recently. We took some time with theMoto G Power and Moto G Stylus. Believe it or not, one of them has lots of power, the other has a stylus, but both cost less than $300!

More exciting, the newMotorola Edge Plusis what you might call a proper smartphone. Snapdragon 865 chipset, 5G connectivity, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of internal storage are all on-par with current flagships, then Motorola packed in a headphone jack and a huge 5,000mAh battery.Nicely done!
