OnePlus will unveil their next flagship phone sometime next month. Of course, we wanted to see the ongoing development of the successor of the OnePlus 6. Teasers are already up in some regions, but OnePlus is still quiet about the full details of the upcoming OnePlus 6T.

While we wait for official announcement, lets gander at these renders courtesy of @OnLeaks. First, here’s a 360-degree preview that shows the OnePlus 6T from every angle:

As you can see, the OnePlus 6T is confirmed to sport a smaller notch. Interestingly, the so-called waterdrop notch from OPPO’s R17 and F9 phones makes its way to OnePlus’ upcoming flagship. Thanks to this, the 6T will definitely have a slightly higher screen-to-body ratio compared to its predecessor.

On the back, we have a familiar design. The vertically stacked dual cameras and the dual-LED flash are still smack in the middle. But, the pill-shaped fingerprint sensor is nowhere to be seen. Rumors are saying that the 6T will have an in-display fingerprint sensor instead. We hope though, that it’ll be as quick as the one we’re already fond of.

Perhaps the biggest (and probably going to be unpopular) change to the OnePlus family is the absence of the 3.5mm audio port. Don’t worry, OnePlus will most likely include a dongle in the retail package for legacy headphones.

The positions of the power button, the alert slider, and the volume rocker are unchanged compared to the OnePlus 6’s.

Specs-wise, expect the OnePlus 6T to sport a 6.4-inch Optic AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution and 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Gorilla Glass 6 is expected to protect the display. A Snapdragon 845 processor will power the phone with up to 8GB of memory and up to 256GB of storage.

The rear camera setup will remain the same with a 16- and 20-megapixel combo, while the front camera is rumored to receive an upgrade.

Hopefully, improvements will come to the battery life of the OnePlus 6T. The removal of the audio port should give more room for a bigger battery, right?

TikTok finally gets a buyer in the United States

The deal targets a closing date in late January.

The year started with a ban. A day before Donald Trump started his second term, TikTok went dark, in anticipation of an impending ban. The platform quickly went back online, leading to an ultimatum that saw TikTok hunt for an American buyer to full stave off a definitive ban in the United States. Now, as the year ends, a buyer is finally here.

Via CNBC, TikTok has reportedly inked a deal to finalize a deal in the United States, as stated in an internal memo from CEO Shou Zi Chew. The memo, which was sent just this week, details a plan that will see the deal close by January 26, 2026.

Fifty percent of TikTok’s newly restructured U.S. arm will be held by a collection of American investors including Oracle, Silver Lake, and MGX. Meanwhile, already existing investors of TikTok will hold 30.1 percent. Finally, ByteDance will retain 19.9 percent.

Additionally, TikTok’s algorithm in the United States will be retrained with American data. The American arm will also handle the country’s “data protection, algorithm security, content moderation, and software assurance.” Oracle will be the “trusted security partner” in charge of making sure the company keeps within regulations in the country.

With a deal pushing through, the long-running TikTok saga in the United States might finally come to a close.

Silksong is getting its first major expansion next year

The expansion is called Sea of Sorrow.

I still can’t believe that Hollow Knight: Silksong came out this year. After years of just waiting for the mythical title, it’s surreal to have it in my library. Now, barely waiting to catch their breath, Team Cherry is already working hard towards the next content drop, starting with Silksong DLC.

Just like the original Hollow Knight, Silksong is getting free DLCs to expand its story. The upcoming Sea of Sorrow DLC will be the game’s “first big expansion.”

The expansion’s trailer barely shows anything about the new content, besides vague allusions to what’s coming. At the very least, Team Cherry has confirmed, both via the announcement and the accompanying poster, that Sea of Sorrow will be nautical-themed.

It will feature new locations, new tools, and new enemies. By itself, Silksong is already a huge game. Adding more content then is a massive undertaking. Plus, Team Cherry says that this is just the first expansion, hinting at more coming in the future.

Sea of Sorrow will launch in 2026.

Besides the new expansion, the studio is also working on a Nintendo Switch 2 update for the original Hollow Knight. It will add higher framerates, resolutions, and more graphical effects. PC players will also get some upgrades to support larger screens.

The Switch 2 update, which will be free for those who already own the original game, will also launch next year.

Supergirl gets its first teaser trailer

Milly Alcock stars as the titular character.

Before the new year starts, it’s already fair to assume that Supergirl might be one of the most anticipated movies of 2026. Premiering a year after the globally successful Superman, Supergirl will see the adventures of Clark Kent’s superpowered cousin, Kara Zor-El. Now, the next film in the sage finally has a teaser trailer.

As James Gunn mentioned previously, Supergirl will be based on Tom King’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Off traveling to other planets to party, Kara finds herself thrust back into the role of being a hero after a young girl named Ruthye Mary Knoll asks her for help.

Though the teaser trailer is mostly a montage of scenes, we already know what we can expect. According to Gunn, Supergirl will be tonally different from Superman, and we see this in the trailer.

However, we can still see influences from Gunn including the usage of “Call Me” by Blondie for the trailer. Also, the film’s space scenes look like they can fit right in with Guardians of the Galaxy.

Still, that’s what we have, and we’re excited. Supergirl will premiere on June 26, 2026.

The film will be directed by Craig Gillespie (Cruella). Milly Alcock plays the titular character. Meanwhile, she will star alongside Eve Ridley as Ruthye Mary Knoll.
