Ryan Haines / Android Authority OnePlus 13 OnePlus has seen better days in the US, but it’s still one of the best alternative brands in the market. Between the cutting-edge hardware and competitive pricing, these Android phones are great rivals to Samsung and Google’s devices. However, two US lawmakers have reportedly asked the Commerce Department to investigate whether OnePlus phones are sending data to China.

TVs can be pretty darn expensive nowadays. Sure, they’re better than ever, but keeping on the cutting edge will cost a lot, and sometimes high-end features are just going to be wasted on what you want the TV for anyway. There are a lot of times when you’d be better off going for a more budget option that’ll get the job done without all of the bells and whistles, but even then, you might be looking at a couple of hundred bucks. It’s a good job that deals come around here and there then, isn’t it?
