Oppo Find X2 Pro review: Still going strong in 2021

If you weren't paying attention to Oppo before, now's the time to start. Although a behemoth in Asia, Oppo is still relatively new to Western markets. The past two years have seen a few high-profile launches for the brand, but Oppo still has a way to go in terms of brand recognition and perception in Europe. So last year, the company simplified its smartphone portfolio, positioning the Find X line as its main high-end brand. Launched a year ago in spring 2020, the Oppo Find X2 Pro isn't an outlandish, borderline experimental device like the original Find X. Instead, Oppo's goal has just been to build a really solid, top-to-bottom Android flagship that ticks every possible box. And having spent some time getting to know the Find X2 Pro, it's clear to me that this is still one of the best Android phones of the moment.

How to watch Solar Opposites online from anywhere

If you've been eagerly awaiting the next season of Rick & Morty, Hulu's animated series Solar Opposites is just the thing to tide you over and we have all the details on how you can watch the show's second season online. There are quite a few similarities between Solar Opposites and Rick & Morty because it was co-created by Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan who worked as a writer's assistant on the show. However, while Rick & Morty is about a human family that often has alien adventures, Solar Opposites tells the story of four aliens trying to blend in as humans. In Solar Opposites, Korvo (Justin Roiland), Yumyulack (Sean Giambrone), Terry (Thomas Middleditch), and Jesse (Mary Mack) are a team of four aliens who crash land on Earth after escaping their exploding homeworld. While Korvo and Yumyulack only see the worst parts of earth including the pollution, consumerism, and human frailty, Terry and Jesse love humans, TV, junk food, and having fun. The gro
