There’s no denying that the OnePlus 8T is one good-looking phone, whether you opt for the sleek Lunar Silver version or go bold with the vivid Aquamarine Green color. Chances are, you’ve already picked up one of the best OnePlus 8T cases for your new phone — but what about that expansive 6.55-inch screen? A durable screen protector not only keeps your device’s screen safe from scratches and impact, but it also keeps fingerprints, dust, and grease at bay so your phone stays looking as fresh and shiny as the day you unboxed it. No need to spend hours trawling the web for a screen protector — we’ve done the hard work and rounded up some of the best screen protectors available, from film protectors to tempered glass options.

With three tempered glass screen protectors and two camera lens protectors with a 9H hardness rating, your phone is protected from impact, scratches, and scuffs. These protectors are ultra-thin and responsive and come bundled with a frame, microfiber cloth, dust-removal stickers, and wipes for easy, bubble-free installation.
Sometimes only the official option will do, like this tempered glass screen protector from OnePlus. Crafted specifically for the OnePlus 8T using advanced CNC machining processes and 9H hardness glass, it’s shatterproof and impact-resistant, keeping your phone screen safe from cracks, drops, and scratches. An oleophobic coating keeps greasy, dirty fingerprint smudges at bay without affecting responsiveness. It may cost a little more than some other options on our list, but for the full OnePlus experience, it’s a must.

Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
Samsung’s scandal over its Game Optimizing Service, or GOS, has returned with a bill attached. South Korea’s Fair Trade Commission has tentatively fined the company 20.1 billion won, or about $15.1 million, over gaming claims made for the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S22, and Tab S8.
The regulator says Samsung promoted the devices as gaming powerhouses without disclosing that GOS placed preset CPU and GPU limits on certain demanding games. Samsung disputes that conclusion, calling GOS a legitimate way to manage heat.
