The new OnePlus Pad 2 is now available.

You can buy the tablet from OnePlus.com for $549.99 and from Amazon this coming August. 

I’m still in the testing process, but so far I like it. It offers the same value as its predecessor but is faster and more powerful, with six stereo speakers that sound phenomenal. It’s still not the best for work, though. My full review is coming soon, so stay tuned.

If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission.

You can now write and publish Substack posts from your smartphone.

Substack has launched a mobile editor on its iOS app and will release it on Android soon.

Right now, the mobile editor only offers simple text and image publishing functionality. You can’t create video and podcast posts, edit published work, or schedule posts from within the app. However, Substack says it’s working on adding these features and others in the future.

Threads is testing a new “Your feeds” feature.

Spotted by Radu Oncescu, it lets you view custom feeds from your homepage in the mobile app (as you already can on the redesigned desktop app), so you can easily access posts you’ve saved, liked, and filtered only to show posts by people you’re following.
