Welcome to CHEAP, our series about things that are good, but most of all, cheap. CHEAP! Often, when I am lying in my bed or lounging on the sofa, I don’t particularly enjoy reading articles or watching videos on my phone’s (relatively) small screen. That’s where a tablet comes in handy.

Vulnerable spadefoot tadpoles eat their smaller competitors to speed towards toadhood as quickly as possible.

These days, you can get some brilliant phones just a couple of steps below flagship devices. Phones that are worth giving a try if you’re a frequent phone swapper. Phones like the $750 Oppo Reno 10x Zoom. Now, if you don’t remember this phone, it’s the one with the pizza-slice selfie camera. Yes, rather than having a notch holding the front camera, Oppo has cleverly hidden it inside the phone. It works like this: Other things to note on the phone are three rear cameras (a 48MP main, 13MP telephoto, and 8MP wide angle) and, as the device’s name suggests,…
