It’s a short and sweet task – you get a USB cable, a SIM eject tool, and the phone. Depending on the model, you can enjoy either 100W (global) or 120W (Chinese) charging speeds, but you’d need to supply your own charger. We had the chance to check out the blue-ish Mint Magic8 Pro while at Honor’s announcement event, and now we also have the silver-ish Gold. They share the wavy lines that appear…

Google’s Pixel 10…
