Oppo – China’s top smartphone brand and the fourth largest in the world – has announced the return of its flagship Find series, the first since 2014. The Find X (which, let’s be honest, sounds like a nu-metal band) is set to be revealed in Paris – at the Louvre no less – on the 19th June. Oh la la. Here’s the question: Why should you, statistically an iPhone or Samsung owner, give a good goddamn about this company’s phone?

That means the company hasn’t merely been resting on its laurels since the launch of the incredibly popular The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim back in 2011.

As we’re now just a day away from the E3 gaming expo, publishers are already busy hyping up their upcoming titles. That includes Polish outfit CD Projekt, which has finally released a trailer for its highly anticipated futuristic RPG, Cyberpunk 2077. It’s set in a time when megacorporations run the world, high-tech prosthetic enhancements are commonplace, and in the sprawling metropolis of Night City, crime is the order of the day. You’ll take on the role of V, a budding mercenary-for-hire at the start of his career. Cyberpunk 2077 has been in the works for some six years now, and…
