Do these improvements make the OnePlus 3T worth its $40 price increase? Does it still beat out other smartphones in its class? Are you quick enough to catch a sly “Mr. T” joke?

This Phone Is A Portal To Another World

The Lenovo Phab 2 Pro is the size of a shoe, it has rough software, and it’s going on sale at a hardware store.
