[Update: Event ticket sales open] The OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro will be unveiled on May 14 in New York


The hype surrounding the next OnePlus phone(s) has been hotting up lately, with rumors pointing to two new devices being readied. Today, the company has announced that the OnePlus 7 Pro launch event will be held in NYC on May 14.
Although only the OnePlus 7 Pro is mentioned by name, we can assume a standard OnePlus 7 will be unveiled at the same event — the Pro model is expected to have a pop-up camera and a 5G modem. OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has already talked up the "fast and smooth" new phones, and the "Go Beyond Speed" slogan for this launch ties in nicely with previous marketing messaging like "The Speed you Need" and "Salute to Speed."
The main event will take place at Pier 94 in New York on May 14 at 11am EDT, tickets for which will be available from OnePlus.com on April 25. Early birds can get $20 discounted tickets for the first 48 hours. Oneplus will also be hosting simultaneous satellite events in London, Bangalore, and Beijing, as well as an online livestream.
Although the original press release only mentioned the OnePlus 7 Pro, we were pretty sure another model was going to be announced at the same time. A tweet published by the manufacturer refers to the launch of the "OnePlus 7 series," confirming what we thought:
Are you the kind of smartphone mega-fan who's willing to shell out some cold, hard cash to attend a launch event? I mean, we get it — we're in this biz because we think phones are pretty dang exciting, too. And if you want to be there when the next generation of OnePlus handsets finally makes its public debut, now's your chance to secure yourself a spot — OnePlus has opened ticket sales for its May 14 grand unveiling.
As we noted earlier, for the first 48 hours of availability you can snag a ticket at a discounted price of $20, before they go back up to $30.
Lest you think that $20 (or $30) to attend a phone launch is a bit ridiculous, keep in mind that you'll also be walking away with a bunch of OnePlus swag, including a OnePlus pin set, OnePlus "Never Settle" t-shirt, and a mysterious "custom co-branded OnePlus gift

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market.
