It’s Plan Picks time, but today it’s the latest Flex Lease deals from Sprint that caught our eye. We love the Flex Lease system. Sure you don’t actually own the phone, but you’re always sporting a hot new handset. Isn’t that the point? If you want to keep purchasing new smartphones which nosedive in value after 12 months, then go ahead. If you prefer to pay a fraction of the price to ensure you’re always in vogue, then read on. $300 off the Google Pixel 3 or 3 XL Looks good, right? And let’s be clear, that isn’t $300 off the retail value of the Pixel 3 , it’s $300 off the normal Flex Lease price. You get it for only $16.63 per month . That’s essentially a half-price Flex Lease.

The big story this week was potentially the end of Huawei’s ongoing troubles with the U.S. government . At the G20 Summit in Osaka, Trump announced that Huawei will be able to work with American companies once again, which might signal the beginning of the end of Huawei’s blacklisted status .

Samsung also made the news this week, but not by choice. Renders of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus leaked on Friday , complete with hole punch camera right in the middle of the display. To top things off, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 also leaked. We also released our review of the Motorola One Vision and a hands-on of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e tablet . We also gave our thoughts on the OnePlus 7 Pro camera , which OnePlus is keen to improve over time . Here are the top 10 Android stories of
