**Withings Launches Its Pee Scanner and Samsung Shows Off a Trifold Phone**

OnePlus has been slowly dripping news about its next flagship smartphone over the last month, and now we finally have an official announcement date: November 13. So far, we know the OnePlus 15 will be one of the first smartphones powered by Qualcomm's next-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite 5 chipset.

Honda and BYD Have Very Different New Teeny Kei Cars

The Japan Mobility Show saw a raft of exciting new EVs being unveiled, but, for WIRED, smaller was most definitely better as Honda stole the limelight with the world premiere of its Super-ONE Prototype kei car, a ultracompact EV that will supposedly sound like a combustion hot hatch, complete with seven simulated gears to shift through via paddles on the steering wheel.

BYD has gone super small as well with its electric Racco, the brand’s very first kei car (also shown off at the the Japan Mobility Show.) This one, however, is most definitely not a wannabe hot hatch with its short hood, upright windshield, sliding doors, and near-vertical rear end rounding out the total length of 133.7 inches.

The Racco is based on the regular Honda N-One, also an electric kei car, but here the tall and narrow stance is nicely offset by chunky wheel arches. Kei cars are limited to 64 horsepower but this version, destined for the Japanese and UK markets apparently, will likely get a power boost (to match the boost button on the steering wheel), when the production version arrives next year.

OnePlus 15 Gets a Launch Date

OnePlus has been slowly dripping news about its next flagship smartphone over the last month, and now we finally have an official announcement date: November 13. So far, we know the OnePlus 15 will be one of the first smartphones powered by Qualcomm's next-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite 5 chipset.

The phone otherwise has a new look and comes in Infinite Black, Ultra Violet, and Sand Storm. The latter color is the only one with a micro-arc oxidized metal frame, which offers a “ceramic-grade coating” that OnePlus claims is 1.3x harder than titanium mid frame.

OnePlus says it will share more details, including pricing and availability, on November 13 via a livestream on its YouTube channel.

Nothing Phone (3a) Lite

The Nothing Phone (3a) Lite has that trademark translucent back with a subtle red highlight and a retro font that extends into the pixelated user interface. It has a 6.77-inch, 120 Hz, OLED screen, with a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro chipset, 8 GB of RAM, and a choice of 128 or 256 GB of storage, but there’s space for a microSD card on the flip side of the SIM tray.

The camera can be a weak spot for budget phones, though we were quite impressed by the regular Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro. The (3a) Lite has a solid 50-megapixel main camera with a large-ish 1/1.57-inch sensor and an f/1.8 aperture, though it’s flanked by an 8-megapixel ultrawide and a macro lens, with a 16-megapixel shooter around front.

IP54 water resistance, 5G, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.3 support round out the respectable specs.

The Nothing Phone (3a) Lite is available now at £249 (249 euros) for the 128 GB model or £279 (279 euros) for the 256 GB.
 
🤔 OnePlus finally decided to give us a release date, November 13th. About time, right? 🕰️ Anyway, I think its new look is just okay. Not sure about that fancy metal frame tho... 💁‍♀️
 
😂 I'm so over these tiny cars! Like, who thought it was a good idea to have an electric kei car that sounds like a hot hatch? 🚗🔊 The Honda Super-ONE Prototype is just too cool for its own good. And don't even get me started on the BYD Racco - I mean, who needs that much detail in a tiny car? 🤯

But you know what's even cooler than these kei cars? The OnePlus 15! 🔥 I've been waiting for this phone to come out since I saw those rumors last month. With the Snapdragon 8 Elite 5 chipset and a new look, I'm expecting some serious performance upgrades.

And on a completely unrelated note, has anyone else noticed that Nothing's designs are giving me 90s nostalgia vibes? 🕰️ That retro font in the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite is giving me major Tamagotchi flashbacks. 👀
 
man this reminds me of how we consume tech in our daily lives 🤔. think about it, these new tiny kei cars are basically miniaturized versions of our daily commutes but with electric vibes 💚. and they're trying to make them sound like hot hatches 😂.

on the other hand, we have phones that are getting more powerful by the minute, like the OnePlus 15 📱. what's the point of all these upgrades if it just ends up making our lives more complex? don't get me wrong, having a faster processor sounds cool, but is it really worth it in the grand scheme of things?

and then there's the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite 💻. it's like they took a step back to make something that's more accessible, with specs that are more on par with what we're used to 📊. maybe that's the way forward? simplifying our tech lives so we can focus on the real issues... 🤯
 
Wow! 🤯 A pee scanner on a phone? That's wild! Interesting how tech companies are pushing boundaries like that. And those teeny kei cars, wow! Byd is tiny! 64 horsepower is pretty low but I guess that's the point of a kei car. OnePlus 15 sounds interesting too, micro-arc oxidized metal frame? That's fancy. Nothing Phone (3a) Lite has cool specs, but that 50-megapixel camera can't be easy to use 🤔
 
OMG, have you seen these new tiny kei cars from Honda and BYD? 🤯 Like, they're literally smaller than my old school laptop 📚 The Honda one is called Super-ONE Prototype and it sounds like a hot hatch, who knew?! 😂 And the BYD Racco, on the other hand, is more of a straightforward electric car with some chunky wheels 👣. I'm low-key curious about these tiny cars, but can we talk about how lit OnePlus' new 15 smartphone launch is going to be? 🎉 November 13th, can't wait! 💥
 
I'm so down for a new smartphone, but OnePlus is doing it all slow and steady with their flagship announcements 😊. First they give us hints, then another month goes by, and finally, we get an official date 📅. November 13 can't come soon enough! I mean, what's not to love about the Snapdragon 8 Elite 5 chipset? It sounds like a beast of a processor 💥.

And have you seen those new kei cars from Honda and BYD? They're so tiny and adorable 🚗! The Super-ONE Prototype is like something out of a sci-fi movie, with its simulated gears and hot hatch vibe 🔩. I'm not sure about the Racco though - it's just too cute to be a real car 😂.

The Nothing Phone (3a) Lite looks like an interesting budget option 🤑. That 50-megapixel main camera better deliver some sweet shots 📸! And £249 for the base model? That's not bad at all 💸. Bring it on, November 13!
 
I'm not sure what's more impressive - the new teeny kei cars from Honda and BYD 🤯, or how quickly we're moving towards electric everything! The Honda Super-ONE Prototype looks like a real head-turner with those simulated gears on the steering wheel, and I love that it still manages to be compact. But at 64 horsepower, I wonder if they'll really get that boost button working... 🚗👀

The OnePlus 15 is also looking sweet with its new design and those "ceramic-grade coating" frames 💎. The Nothing Phone (3a) Lite might not have all the bells and whistles, but it's still a solid budget option with some impressive specs. Can't wait to see what these phones can do on November 13 📆!
 
🤔 The tech companies are always pushing boundaries, but sometimes I think it's just to distract us from the real issues 🙃. Like, have you seen these tiny kei cars they're releasing? Honda's Super-ONE Prototype is supposed to sound like a hot hatch, but what if that's just a marketing ploy to get people excited about something we shouldn't be interested in? I mean, why do they need 7 simulated gears on the steering wheel anyway? 🤷‍♂️ And don't even get me started on these "innovative" phone designs. It's like they're trying to confuse us with all these new features and colors 📱💻. Maybe it's time for a digital detox and just see what happens when we're not glued to our screens 🙏.
 
I'm telling you, OnePlus is gonna kill it with their new flagship this November. I mean, a Snapdragon 8 Elite 5 chipset? That's next-gen stuff right there. And don't even get me started on the specs of that Nothing Phone (3a) Lite - 50-megapixel main camera? Solid! They're really bringing their A-game with those budget-friendly options.

And, btw, Honda's new Super-ONE Prototype kei car is straight fire 💥. I love how they've gone for a more aggressive sound design without actually making it a hot hatch. It's like, the ultimate compromise 🤷‍♂️. BYD's Racco kei car might not be as exciting, but at least it's different. The chunky wheel arches and near-vertical rear end give it some serious attitude 😎.

One thing that's got me a bit confused is the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite's microSD card slot. Why make it so small? Can't they just put a bigger slot or even go full-on SD card support? 🤔
 
OMG, you guys! 🤯 I'm literally hyped about these new gadgets!!! 🔥 So, OnePlus just dropped that the OnePlus 15 is launching on Nov 13th and it's gonna be one of the first phones with the new Snapdragon 8 Elite 5 chipset - genius! 💻 The design looks super sleek, especially the Infinity Black, Ultra Violet, and Sand Storm colors. And can we talk about the micro-arc oxidized metal frame that's 1.3x harder than titanium mid-frame? 🔨 That's some crazy tech right there! 🤯 By the way, have you seen Honda's new Super-ONE Prototype kei car? 🚗 It's so tiny and cool - I need one in my life! 😆 The Nothing Phone (3a) Lite is also looking fire with its 50-megapixel main camera and 120 Hz OLED screen. 💥 What do you guys think of these new releases?
 
Just saw that OnePlus 15 is launching on Nov 13th 📅... seems like they're getting into some serious gaming with their new Snapdragon 8 Elite 5 chipset 💻. But what's really interesting is how these phone makers are focusing on compact designs - Honda's Super-ONE Prototype kei car, BYD's Racco tiny EV, even Samsung's trifold phone... it's like they're trying to create a new class of ultra-portable tech 📈. And with the rise of eco-friendly options, I'm hoping we'll see more sustainable manufacturing practices in the future 💚.
 
omg what's up with all these tiny cars lol i mean the super-one prototype from honda sounds like so much fun and the idea of a mini hot hatch is genius 😂 but at the same time the byd racco just looks like a toy 🤣 i'm not sure if it's good for the environment or not, but hey who cares about that right? it's just a car 🚗

i did some research and apparently kei cars are super limited to only 64 horsepower but that's kinda cool because it means they have to be really efficient 🤑 anyone else think that's a good thing?

anyway back to the bigger stuff, what do you guys think about the oneplus 15? the snapdragon 8 elite 5 chipset sounds like a beast 💥 and the micro-arc oxidized metal frame is pretty sweet 👍
 
thinkin bout these tiny kei cars, like BYD's Racco and Honda's Super-ONE Prototype... they're showin us that sometimes less is more 🤔, you know? we don't need all this size and complexity to get the job done. just a small, efficient package that gets us where we wanna go... it's kinda like how OnePlus went from a small, no-frills approach to a bigger player in the smartphone game 📱, but now they're takin' a step back and refocusing on what really matters: performance and simplicity 💻. anyway, these kei cars are remindin us that there's beauty in minimalism...
 
🤔 I'm not sure why they didn't split this article into separate sections, like a news site should. It's overwhelming to read through all the random info about different products and events in one go 📊 The OnePlus 15 launch date is actually pretty cool, but I wish they had more details on the phone itself before the announcement 📅 The Nothing Phone (3a) Lite sounds decent, but why did they have to include so many specs in the first place? Less text = less overwhelm 😂
 
🤔 The latest mini cars from Honda and BYD are kinda cute, but who thought it was a good idea to make them so small? Like, what's the point of having all these tiny features if you're just gonna be squished into a parking spot? 🚗😂 And don't even get me started on the simulators... seven gears on a kei car? What's next, a racing game for your commute?
 
I got a weird feeling about these tiny electric cars they're launching... like, what's up with them being so small? I mean, Honda's Super-ONE Prototype kei car and BYD's Racco are literally tiny! Like, can you even fit in there? And the specs for the Racco are super limited, just 64 horsepower. That's so different from other electric cars out there.

But at the same time, I kinda like that they're trying to create something new and unique. It's not just about one-upping each other with bigger and better features. They're going for a whole different vibe, you know? And who knows, maybe these tiny kei cars will be all the rage in Japan and the UK! 🤔🚗
 
I'm kinda stoked that OnePlus finally announced a release date for its new flagship, but I'm not sure about the phone's design. A trifold screen might be gimmicky and prone to battery drain, you know? 🤔 And while it's cool that BYD is getting into kei cars, I worry about their practicality in real life. Like, who needs a car that short? 😊 On the bright side, the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite looks pretty sweet with its OLED screen and 50-megapixel camera. Still, £279 for 256 GB of storage is a bit steep if you ask me 🤑
 
OMG, have you ever tried making your own kei car? I had this crazy dream to build a tiny electric car from scratch last week 🚗😂 and I'm still trying to figure out how to make it happen. The thing is, I was at the park with my cat, Luna, the other day and we stumbled upon these teeny-tiny toy cars that are basically just tiny versions of those super-speedy karts from Mario Kart. And I swear, they're so cute! 🐈💨

But anyway, back to kei cars... I mean, can you imagine driving a car that's literally the size of a toy? It would be like living in a dollhouse or something! 😂 Wouldn't it be fun to drive around town with all these tiny electric cars zipping past us? 🚗💨

I guess what I'm saying is, while these new kei cars are pretty cool, I'd rather have a giant water balloon fight instead of driving one. Just think about it... we could have the biggest water balloon fight in history and then drive our tiny electric cars around the park afterwards! 🌊🚗
