OnePlus is teasing the 6T on Twitter like we don't already know everything about the phone

It's just about time for OnePlus' biannual phone refresh, and that means you can expect phone teasers to appear on Twitter with increasing regularity. Forget for the moment we already know what the 6T is going to look like, and just absorb the marketing message.

There have been plenty of leaks so far, but this is right from the horse's mouth. There's some value in that, even if it's intentionally vague.

U.S. households embrace smart speakers with 24% owning at least one, Nielson study finds

Smart speakers are quickly becoming standard across U.S. households. My grandmother recently floored me when she demonstrated how she uses her JBL Link to play 60s music with Google Assistant. I was impressed because she was still learning how to Google, but here she was jamming out while making breakfast. That's the moment I knew smart speakers were here to stay. Research from Nielson now confirms the sudden rise of this market category.

Google Assistant for TV learns more languages

AI is not limited to simply phones and speakers anymore as TV manufacturers continue to add extra capabilities to their flatscreens. Smart TVs are essentially mini computers running operating systems such as Tizen, webOS, and of course Android TV. Google has made it possible for manufacturers to integrate Google Assistant into their products even if they don't use Android TV, something LG has been doing this year. Until recently, the AI was limited to English, but this is beginning to change.

Another V40 ThinQ leak details camera lenses and shows off front for the first time

LG's latest device is still two days away from its official unveiling, yet it feels like we already know all about it. Leaks started way back in June and since then, we've had renders and even an official LG press release and teaser video. The most intriguing aspect of the V40 ThinQ is its camera setup – two lenses on the front and three on the back.

Thanks to Evan Blass, we now know the purpose behind the 5-lens setup.
