It's Friday, May 5th, and while smartphone rumors and debuts from Tech icons like Apple and Samsung seem to soak up a lot of the Limelight, other smaller phone makers are turning out solid offerings in their own right. One of them is Chinese Tech firm OnePlus, and now with Summer fast approaching, we may see a new top tier phone from OnePlus in the next couple of months.

OnePlus's current Flagship is the 3T, a capable Android fablet phone with a 5.5-inch screen, solid camera, and impressive performance for its low price. Now, rumors indicate that OnePlus could debut their next phone, the OnePlus 5, this summer. Details about the phone are scarce, but it's rumored to have 6 to 8 gigs of RAM, 128 to 256 gigs of memory, a hot rod Snapdragon 835 CPU, and a bezel-less AMOLED screen that everyone loves.

So, why isn't it called the OnePlus 4? Well, because just like many hotels don't have a 13th floor button in their elevators, four is considered an unlucky number in China. Also, rumor has it that many OnePlus workers are big Robert Ory fans - we're not sure what this has to do with the phone's name, but it might be an interesting tidbit.

Not long ago, creating VR content was seen as the future of the technology, and Oculus was one of the first to focus on making cool VR stuff with their Oculus Story Studio. But things changed quickly in Tech, and following the acquisition of Oculus by Facebook, the rise of VR content makers outside of Oculus Story Studio is about to be no more. That's the word from Oculus VP of Content Jason Rubin.

Facebook/Oculus has already sunk $250 million into VR content and was looking to invest $250 million more before making the call to wind down the award-winning creative lab. Now, they'll work with external Partners to create content, according to Facebook. About 50 people will be put out of work as a result, but with the popularity of VR continuing to grow, we're pretty sure they'll find someplace to land and keep dreaming up crazy cool stuff to fill our headsets.

What's better than making really fast cars driving them really fast on a world-renowned racetrack? That's just what Porsche did with their new 2018 911 GT3. The German Performance car company dropped test driver Lars Kern in the hot seat and let him loose on the infamous 13m long Nurur Gren circuit, which has become the Benchmark course for testing sports car performance. The result was a hot lap in just 7 Minutes 12 seconds - an improvement of 12 seconds over the previous iteration of the GT3.
