OnePlus used CES to tease the launch of its newest flagship, but now, it has officially unveiled the OnePlus 10 Pro in China, with a global release expected later in 2022. Many of this phone's specs have already been revealed before the launch. But let's now take a look at the complete and official specs list. 

It comes with a 6.7-inch 120Hz LTPO display, which allows it to dynamically change the refresh rate between 1 and 120Hz depending on what's on the screen. It runs on Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. It also has a large 5,000mAh battery paired with OPPO's SuperVOOC 80W fast-charging—which lets you fast-charge from 0-100% in 32 minutes—and 50W wireless charging with reverse wireless charging support.

She said its marketing was "deceptive," and pointed out that the N95 is an official certification by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health for respirators that filter out at least 95 percent of airborne particles.

Former Huawei sub-brand Honor is the newest company to release its first foldable. The new Honor Magic V bears similar looks to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold devices. It folds inward and has an external on one side. 

The internal screen measures 7.9 inches with a 2,272 x 1984 resolution, 90Hz refresh rate, and 10:9 aspect ratio. Honor claims the inner display is like having two 21:9 screens side by side. Meanwhile, its outer display is slightly larger than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 at 6.45 inches (compared to Samsung's 6.2 inches) with a 2,560 x 1,080 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and a 21:9 aspect ratio. That somewhat more standard screen size will make it more usable even when you don't unfold the handset.
