Yesterday, Huawei announced its Mate 80 series devices alongside the Mate X7 foldable, and all five devices are equipped with its new Kirin 9030 series chipsets.

No, the OnePlus 15 still isn’t available in the US and the OnePlus site hasn’t been updated with info on when it is coming. But the OnePlus 13 might be the better phone, anyway.
