OnePlus has announced a [full portfolio of devices]( at its Cloud 11 event in India, with a tease of a new concept phone launching at Mobile World Congress, too. Why does it matter? OnePlus hosted the event in India, demonstrating just how important that market is to the brand. What's my take? OnePlus is in a strange position. Having launched as an edgy brand, it has grown closer to Oppo over the years as it has become more mainstream. This is probably the biggest launch of products we've seen from the company therefore - reinforcing that bond with India in the process. You can read all about the new flagship phone, the OnePlus 11, [right here](. There's no "pro" this year and that perhaps makes the offering simpler. There are [new headphones for you to read about](, as well as the launch into the [tablet market](, as well as that [OnePlus keyboard](, with retro vibes and Keychron experience. As for the concept phone, we've [seen such models from OnePlus in the past]( - and the best thing is that it shows a OnePlus that's confident and looking for attention. We like that.  Philips announces 2023 Ambilight TV range - OLED+908, OLED 808 and MiniLED sets are coming TP VISION What's happened? Philips has announced its [new range of TVs for 2023](, including a new flagship OLED+ model due later in the year. Why does it matter? Every range will be powered by the newest 7th Gen P5 AI processor, promising more power across the board, with improved Ambient Intelligence reserved for the OLEDs. What's my take? Philips has a big presence in the European TV market and is best known for its Ambilight TVs. And, with a successful run of OLED sets under its belt, it's often a contender for TV of the year. Some interesting details jump out of this announcement, like the 42-inch OLED 808. It will bring that quality in a smaller package but with that trademark Ambilight magic - which could be popular. We're also getting early details of the flagship OLED+ set, offering the now traditional B&W soundbar for great audio performance and boosted brightness to deliver even better visuals. It could be a great year for Philips TVs.  Hogwarts Legacy review: A truly magical adventure WARNER BROS/PORTKEY GAMES What's happened? There are few movie franchises as fervently supported as those of Harry Potter and the related universe, and even fewer book series. So it seems odd, perhaps, that the Potterverse has been relatively passed over in gaming terms. We've had a few mobile titles (of varying success), some so-so movie tie-ins and a smattering of Lego platformers. In comparison to Star Wars, say, it has been hugely underserved. That's why Hogwarts Legacy is so important for both Warner Bros Games and the enormous fan base. It's the first game to put you into the shoes of a fresh student attending the most famous of schools for witchcraft and wizardry. Our quick verdict It's been a decade since we've had a full Potterverse game, but the wait has been well worth it. Hogwarts Legacy gets just about everything right, with its involving storyline and myriad of main and side quests. Perhaps its finest feature though is Hogwarts itself, providing as much joy in just exploring the halls as in performing set tasks. We doubt a single Harry Potter fan will be disappointed. We certainly weren't.

That's for the new mobile, with a 6.1-inch AMOLED 120Hz display, 128GB of storage and a 50MP camera.  From The Gear Loop THE GEAR LOOP The Gear Loop - Pocket-lint's sister site - has had a makeover.
