DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK). Often, one battery is not enough so there is a more complete pack available with three batteries, charger for four batteries and two propeller replacements from $999 (£949 in the UK). The red model reminds me of a Porsche. / © AndroidPIT Design and build quality In essence, it is th...

After the collaboration with Disney that led to the birth of the OnePlus 6T Avengers Edition, the company of Pete Lau and Carl Pei have announced a new collaboration. This time with a well-known brand of sports cars and giant of Formula 1: McLaren. A OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition is coming, what should we expect? Have you ever heard of OSIRIS? Choose "Yes, I have!" or "Never heard of it.". Oops! Seems like something went wrong. Reloading might help. Yes, I have! Oops! Seems like something went wrong. Reloading might help. Never heard of it. Not much, actually. From past experience, we can imagine the new limited edition OnePlus 6T as a simple new color variant. As with OnePlus 6 Avengers Edition and OnePlus 5T Star Wars, I'm sure it's nothing more than a new finish for the device's body without any special changes to the specifications.
