OnePlus joins many of the big names opting out of making an in-person appearance at CES 2022 in a few days. It didn't give a detailed explanation, but the move is clearly a response to the surge of new COVID-19 cases because of the Omicron variant. OnePlus is starting the year with the introduction of the OnePlus 10 Pro, and there were rumours it was going to unveil the phone at CES. Maybe it will still do a virtual launch for its next flagship.

Right now, OnePlus joins the likes of AMD, MSI, Microsoft, Lenovo, Google, Meta, and more who have backed out of in-person involvement with the show. Consumer Technology Association, the organizer of CES, still plans to push through with the show. So far, LG, Samsung, and Sony are still committed to being physically at the conference.

The current crop of true wireless earbuds isn't designed to blend into your skin. Many are in black or white colours, and some are in brighter shades. But if you want a pair of buds that can flatter your skin tone, JLab has partnered with nail care brand ORLY for earbuds that come in colours that are "flattering for people across a spectrum of skin tones" with the aptly named Go Air Tones.

The audio company and ORLY selected the seven Pantone colours from an original collection of over 60 shades. They used ORLY's expertise in creating nude nail polishes to produce seven options that "encompassed a variety of skin tones with a mix of warm, neutral and cool undertones."

It looks like Samsung fixed the issues it had encountered when it first started rolling out its Android 12-based One UI 4 update. The company is rolling out the update again to Galaxy S21 devices and the Galaxy Z Flip3 and Galaxy Z Fold3.

Even with a public beta process, Samsung ran into some problems during its initial release in November. Users were reporting poor performance, screen flicker troubles, and other bugs. Last week, Samsung paused the rollout in South Korea when some users raised problems with Google Play. Hopefully, the rollout now is a smoother process for Samsung users out there.
