OnePlus Nord N30 SE is coming: a rebranded Nord N30, itself a rebranded Nord CE 3 Lite

While everyone is anxiously waiting for the upcoming flagship, the OnePlus 12, OnePlus is also working on another new device, this one much cheaper. Well, "new" if you have a very flexible definition of the word. We're talking about the OnePlus Nord N30 SE, which just got certified by TDRA in the UAE. So far so good, and this certification actually reveals the name. But it also gives us the model number: CPH2605. And that's the model number of both the Nord N30 launched in North America, as well as the Nord CE 3 Lite. Those two phones are identical devices sold under different names...

YouTube's blocking of ad blockers isn't a "small experiment" anymore

Back in June, YouTube announced that it was running a "small experiment" globally where it urged a tiny subset of people using ad blockers to disable them if they want to view content on the platform.

YouTube now says it's launching a global effort to crack down on ad blockers and encourage users to either allow ads or pay for YouTube Premium (where there are no ads). This comes straight from YouTube communications manager Christopher Lawton. When you run into YouTube's ad blocker block, you'll see a message like the one in the screenshot...

Weekly poll results: the OnePlus Open is great, but buyers balk at the price

Economies of scale mean that once a product becomes popular, it costs less too. But that causes a Catch-22 – it’s difficult for an expensive product to become popular.

It might even be the best in class that the markets outside of China have seen. And yet... well, the pie chart speaks for itself, 40% of voters have interest in the Open, but find it too pricey. To be fair, it costs less than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold5 (unless you get in...
