The tech world doesn’t take a holiday, though, and this issue is packed with a deluge of new gadgets, any of which I’d be delighted to find under the tree. Someone will have to really love me to get me a Philips 55OLED+903, but it’s the best TV I’ve ever seen (and heard). The OnePlus 6T and iPhone XR are incredible handsets that prove you don’t have to spend top-whack for a five-star mobile; and anyone who gets to unwrap Red Dead Redemption 2 will spend the holidays playing one of the best games ever made.
