Week 47 in review: Oreo updates and Black Friday deals

Week 47 was all about the Black Friday deals with retailers around the world running sales on just about every piece of hardware available. A notable exception was OnePlus that took a stance against that and said it's offering its phones at sale prices all year round.

We also started seeing an increase in rumors and leaks about the early 2018 flagship devices, while the Nokia 8 got its Oreo update.
