    While the whole world is still dealing with the lockdown to fight the novel Coronavirus, China is now getting back to the normal life routine.

    Recently, a factory in China got flak for organizing a weird kissing contest. A video shows how participants were called to kiss with plexiglass in between. The video now has over 10 million views on all Chinese social media platforms. Now, thatâs the opposite of social distancing, isnât it? The furniture factory, known as âYueyaâ invited around ten couples to participate in the bizarre contest.

    Check out the post here-
    #China A furniture factory in Suzhou, Jiangsu had a "Kissing Contest" to celebrate the factory resuming work.

    The organisers said this event can help the factory workers relax & there's a transparent glass between the kissers.

    Allegedly some of the participants are not couples. pic.twitter.com/9BWWpBkaAs

    Some of the couples were reportedly married and lowered their protective face masks to kiss through the glass. The employees were also seen wearing blue boiler suits. According to Global Times, the contest was organized to celebrate the easing of restrictions imposed on the people of China amid the lockdown.

    The owner of the factory, Mr. Ma said, âthe glass had been placed between participants to minimize the risk of infection.â He also said, âSome of the participants were actually married couples who both work in the factory. This pandemic has made everyone very tense. They haven't been able to relax, and that might cause mistakes in the production process.â 

    Hereâs what people on the internet think of the kissing contest-

    Elon Musk is the most unusual billionaire, and we don't even know what he'll do, because it's always the unexpected. Along with being the genius owner of Tesla and SpaceX, he's also basically a troll on Twitter at this point. Just going through his tweets sometimes makes me question, "how high is this guy right now?" And well, I of course picture this iconic moment.
    © Twitter
    Now, we all know that Tesla's latest exciting offering is the Cybertruck, which looks like something we all drew as a kid, and it's so weird that it's actually cool. People have already pre-booked this unique looking car/truck/whatever and Elon himself has been driving the prototype around LA for months, increasing the hype even more. Along with sharing 'dank memes', he also regularly answers questions by people about his various cars and this time he was discussing the Cybertruck with a few people and said that it can even float for a while.

    Yes. It will even float for a while.
    â Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 20, 2020
    Again, the question stands - what the hell is he exactly making?
    We all live in a grey submarine?

    Update: An earlier version of the article reported that the government of India had launched this app. The information turned out to be incorrect and we apologize for any inconvenience caused.
    Recently, the government deemed the highly popular 'Zoom' app as 'unsafe' for video calling purposes. 
    The app seems to be facing a lot of security issues, making it potentially dangerous for business purposes and for holding some confidential meetings. 
    Even companies like Google, SpaceX and even some schools have stopped using it due to the same reason.
    More recently, a new piece of information started making rounds on the internet claiming that the Government has already launched a new video calling app called 'Namaste' as an alternate to the 'Zoom' app. It started making waves around the internet, however, the Government came up with a clarification saying that it's a fake news and no such app has been launched. Here, check it out - 
    View this post on Instagram A post shared by MyGov, Government of India (@mygovindia) on Apr 21, 2020 at 12:59am PDT

     
    We're not entirely sure about the source of this fake news, but you might want to let people know about it since the app is currently trending across the social media.
    But if you're still interested to know exactly how the app works, here's everything that you need to know -
    © Namaste
    Yes, the app is already available to use, however, it's still in beta so you may expect some bugs in its current state. It's only available on the web for now and it'll eventually be available for mobile phones as an app as well.
    Currently, the website for 'Namaste' reads: "We are facing tremendous demand for NAMASTE and hence you may face some temporary connectivity issues. Please check back soon".
    In case you're wondering, the app has been created by a Mumbai-based web application and software development company called Inscripts.
    We faced some hiccups, but we managed to use it to see if it's any good. Here are some thoughts - 
    © Namaste
    So, as soon as you visit the website, you'll see an option to either create a new meeting or join an existing one. Once you start a new meeting, you'll be asked to allow permission to access your microphone and camera. Once you do that, you'll see a pop-up with the meeting details that you need to share with others so they can join.
    It's very similar to how you'd invite someone on, say, a 'Google Meet' or a 'WebX' call. The pop-up will have details like the meeting URL, a meeting ID, and code. Anyone with these credentials will be able to join your meeting. Despite the connectivity issues, which we think is due to the sudden spike in usage, it worked just fine. We expect it to get better over time.
    As of now, there's no word on a date for when the app will get out of beta or when the apps for Android and iOS will be made available.
    Note: Since we're not sure about the integrity of this app, we suggest you stay away from this, at least for now.

    Amid the nationwide lockdown due to the outbreak of the coronavirus, people are struggling to cope with the situation in their own ways, especially those who are locked away from their homes and families during a difficult time like this. Here is a list of some of the Bollywood celebs who are spending time alone from their families during this situation, waiting for the lockdown to get over soon.
    1. Shekhar KapurFilmmaker Shekhar Kapur recently revealed in an interview that he is locked away at a place with little connectivity during this lockdown situation. He said, âI am locked down in a place where there is very little internet and connectivity. However I do get news on my phone intermittently. Itâs painful. But Iâve little to complain about. Compared to so many of my countrymen. I am relatively well feed and have a roof above my head.â
    Looks like he is in the mountains. He hasnât mentioned the place anywhere though.
    Film makers call this Godâs Light. And scramble to capture it. As I did this morning. May Godâs light shine upon us all. pic.twitter.com/JOSXxygz3L
    â Shekhar Kapur (@shekharkapur) April 18, 2020A new dawn. Thatâs what this world needs. A new dawn that comes with greater compassion, greater equality and more solidarity. More humility and generosity. It took a virus that could kill us all to think about ourselves. #Covid_19 pic.twitter.com/ANABa065T8
    â Shekhar Kapur (@shekharkapur) April 17, 20202. Jackie ShroffActor Jackie Shroff is locked down at his Khandala farmhouse away from his family including wife Ayesha and children Tiger and Krishna. According to reports, he was there to do some new plantations and pre-monsoon work and got stuck there. Jackie had earlier revealed that he could have gone home by getting a permit but decided not to flout the lockdown and advised others to do the same.

    4. Arjun RampalNext in the list is actor Arjun Rampal who is locked away in Karjat, about 80 km from Mumbai, with girlfriend Gabriela Demetriades and 7-month-old son Arik Rampal. He was shooting for his next film Bhima Koregaon from February 2. His girlfriend and son had accompanied him for the shoot. Later, the actor decided to stay back in Karjat and resume the remaining shoot and as ban at all workplaces in Maharashtra was announced till 31st March. However, in the meantime, when the nationwide lockdown was announced he was left stranded there.

    5. Sanjay DuttEven though actor Sanjay Dutt is at his Mumbai house, he is alone there as his wife Maanayata Dutt and kids Shahraan and Iqra are stuck in Dubai due to Coronavirus outbreak. The Agneepath actor is spending his time watching shows like Ramayana and Mahabharata which resumed on DD National. Not only this, as per the reports, the actor has also given up on non-veg food temporarily and is trying a lot of vegetarian stuff of late.
    6. Jaya BachchanVeteran Bollywood actor and Amitabh Bachchanâs wife Jaya Bachchan is currently stuck in Delhi and spending the quarantine period without family. When the nationwide lockdown was announced, the Silsila actor was in Delhi to take part within the proceedings of Parliament. On her 72nd birthday, Amitabh Bachchan and kids Abhishek and Shweta took to their social media handles to wish her and revealed that Jaya had been stranded in Delhi owing to lockdown.
    View this post on InstagramAs every child will tell you, their favourite word is... MA! Happy Birthday, Ma. Although you are away in Delhi due to the lockdown and we all are here in Mumbai, know that we are thinking of you and carry you in our hearts. I love you!A post shared by (@bachchan)
    Staying in quarantine locked away inside the house is tough but staying away from family is also super tough as it can take an emotional and a mental toll.

    AR Rahmanâs song Jai Ho gave goose bumps when it released back in 2009 and soon, it became popular and even got the singer an Oscar. The song was featured in Slumdog Millionaire which put India on the Hollywood map as well. 

    Would you believe that it was not originally composed for Slumdog Millionaire? It was originally composed for Salman Khanâs movie Yuvvraaj. Yes, you heard it right. 
    Well, I am more than glad that the song didnât appear in Salman Khanâs Yuvvraaj because destiny had something big planned for AR Rahman. Not many know but Subash Ghai had rejected the song because it didnât suit the character of Zayed Khan.
    In 2010, the director revealed the big news at an interactive session on music in cinema at the Pune International Film Festival (PIFF). He had said, âThe words of the song were very poetic â Zareewale neele aasman ke tale... [Under the embroidered sky...] The poetry did not fit the character of Zayed Khan, on whom the song was to be shot. So I asked Gulzarji to compose another song.â

    There is a mysterious shroud around the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un. Recently, a few reports surfaced that the âSupreme Leaderâ of the hermit state underwent a major medical procedure and that his life may actually be in danger. There are speculations that the man may have been infected with the novel coronavirus.

    © Reuters
    However, given the secrecy with which North Korea usually operates and how often news gets leaked to the world outside North Korea, there are a number of speculations surrounding the accuracy and the source of this latest factoid.

    © Reuters
    That got us thinking that how crazy things must be in North Korea, and how crazy the man himself might be, given some of the anecdotes that we have heard of him. Here are 5 verified and confirmed factoids about Kim Jon Un that prove he might be a real-life Bond Villain.

    1. He Once Killed His Uncle With Anti-Aircraft Machine Guns © Reuters
    The guy who was shot to bits and pieces was not just an uncle but a top-ranking military officer of the national army. Kim Jong Un caught him yawning during one of his speeches, and was so angry, that he stopped mid-way and had his uncle arrested and sentenced to death right then and there. There have been numerous reports of Kim executing his family members out of fear, but this took things to a whole new level. Just to give you a comparison of exactly how large an anti-aircraft bullet is, take a look at this picture.

    © Pinterest/NKDefectors
    2. He Has A Vacation Resort Which Is Used Only Once A Year © Reuters
    We get it that being the head of state means that you have some really cool perks. However, leave it up to Kim Jong Un to take things to the next level. Kim Jong Unâs father, Kim Jong Il,  already had a vacation home, but for some reason, Kim Jong Un wanted a different one. So he had one built. But apparently, because he does not like it, he commissioned another one being to be made. However, since the new resort is taking time, he visits his own resort, once a year. And no, that resort is not open to the public, not even his foreign guests and visiting dignitaries

    3. He Got A Family Executed For Failing To Save His Official Portrait In A House Fire © Reuters
    Technically speaking, North Korea is a theocratic state, meaning that every resident of the country has to worship and proclaim the ruling leader as their god. Therefore every household has the official portraits of all the three Kims. A family was unable to save the three portraits in an incident that caused their house to burn down. Kim Jong Un had the family, including children, executed on counts of blasphemy.

    4. He Got His Half Brother Killed By Staging A Prank Show © Reuters
    North Korea made headlines a few years back when Kim Jong Unâs half brother, Kim Jong Nam was assassinated at the Kuala Lumpur Airport. Although the entire saga was a serious and sombre incident, the assassination itself was comical. Apparently, Kim Jong Un ordered the execution and wanted it to be both, painful and look like an accident. So he had his generals trick a couple of people Malaysian men and Vietnamese women that they were playing a TV prank on Jong Nam for a popular Malay television show. The women ultimately sprayed poison on Jong Nam, with a liquid that attacked the nerve and caused multiple system failures, withing minutes.

    5. His 'Pleasure Squads' May Be Indulging In Paedophilia © Reuters
    Right after his father died, Kim Jong Un abolished the practice of having âPleasure Squadsâ or his troop of concubines. However, a few years later, he resumed the practice, stating that back then, when his father had passed away, there was suspicion on these women. Although North Korean officials paint a very rosy and innocent picture of Kim Jong Unâs âPleasure Squad,â North Korean defectors, or people who have fled the brutal regime have reported that often, all the women and the girls in the squad are picked from schools, and then injected with hormones to speed up certain growth processes. These defectors have also claimed that often, these girls are as young as 13-14 years. They are made to sign a pledge and an oath, are paid $2000, which actually is a lot of money for a family in North Korea. 

    Clearly, the manâs got some serious issues...

    Everything is on a decline these days - our bank accounts, our motivation to work, any kind of stability when it comes to sleep. An unexpected thing to join this list of falling is the crude oil prices.For the first time, the price of crude has crossed over to the negative side and is currently -$37. Coronavirus has affected not only the health of people but also so much more. Basically, as oil demand crashed all over the world, the negative price means sellers were paying buyers to take deliveries as a way to avoid incurring of storage cost. It makes sense that almost the entire world is under lockdown and obviously there's no demand for oil as of now. The oil sector, the financial sector, everything is crashing and burning so people are trying to cope up with this almost post-apocalyptic world the only they know how - memes.
    As oil prices keep falling, the memes on it are at an all time high, pun intended, and well, all we can do right now is laugh at it.
    What a transformation.

    India is a land of abundant talent and the Internet is a big world in itself, that has given us some heart touching moments. While some rejoice looking at memes or sharing pictures, others resort to change the lives of other people, bringing in happiness for them. In some cases, their lives are transformed completely.
    © Twitter/Ranu Mondal_Fanclub
    It all started with Ranu Mondal, whose journey is unforgettable. A homeless woman spotted at a station in West Bengal sang for us and her talent inspired many, just in a video of a few seconds. Himesh Reshammiya recognised her talent and gave her a chance to sing in his movie Happy Hardy and Heer.

    Coming to the latest instance, a clip of a homeless man from Patna has surfaced on social media and the video has gone viral. A short video shows a him singing the rendition of Jim Reeves' song 'He'll Have to Go' in his melodious voice, and the Internet is stunned by the impeccable talent hidden away in the narrow lanes of India.

    The person who recorded this whole video engaged with him and asked him to several questions. When asked, if he can speak English, he said yes and then the banter goes on which made the video quite heart-melting and interesting. The man asked, "So what do you do for your day to day life?" To this, he replied "I beg" When asked about his food and other dire situations, he said he knows how to manage and didn't complain.
    He also added "I am a singer and a dancer. My name is Sunny baba." With his magical voice and fluent English, this man from Patna decided to take the internet by storm overnight with Jim Reeves' 'He'll Have To Go' at the end.
    This song is an iconic one from Jim Reeves' list of songs, that was popular in 1960. The pop song has unforgettable lyrics and is remembered and sung even today. 

    The caption read as "This man, a beggar from Patna sings Jim Reevesâs Heâll Have To Go. Priceless,â

    â Vandana (@VandanaJayrajan) April 20, 2020 As the video went viral, people couldn't stop applauding the man for his voice. Check out these reactions.
    Seems to be a Caribbean runaway.
    â Shwetank Singh (@shwetankbhushan) April 20, 2020His English is better than that of the person interviewing, but I think he is either from the Caribbean or Africa.
    â Mrs Shrini (@bezubaan) April 20, 2020What is impressive about him is he is happy and content.. thatâs a great quality.
    â narasimhasð®ð³ (@Lotusfeetns) April 20, 2020Wonder what circumstances would have compelled him to be on the streets & beg ! Yet he looks so content ! This is a classic instance of having achieve Viveka (disenchantment) & Vairagya (detachment) from desires & he is clearly looking inward

    Itâs always a sight to see whenever a new teardown video by JerryRigEverything shows up on Youtube, but this time, it is special. 
    The OnePlus 8 Pro launched recently and in case youâre not aware, the smartphone comes with new hardware and features like wireless charging. 
    While the smartphone is yet to launch in India, it is still exciting to see what the phone is actually made of. The OnePlus 8 Pro also comes with an IP 68 rating which means the innards of the phone have to be tightly packed as well. 
    © JerryRigEverything
    The smartphoneâs teardown shows the OnePlus 8 Pro has a very neat and almost artistic design even from the inside. It shows that OnePlus designed the inside of the smartphone keeping everything in mind and with good planning. 

    The smartphone was not easy to open because the back panel was helped by a strong adhesive, something OnePlus may have decided to use for the IP 68 rating. 
    The phone is rated for water resistance which means the design of the smartphone cannot let any water seep in that can potentially damage the motherboard and other hardware components. There are even rubber caps on the SIM card tray to prevent water from getting in.

    Once the panel is opened, the first thing you notice is the massive golden copper coils. These coils are used for wireless charging support which was a long-demanded feature by fans. The OnePlus 8 Pro supports 30W wireless charging via their proprietary charging stand. 

    You can also see the massive camera sensors being used in the OnePlus 8 Pro which includes a 48MP main camera sensor in the middle, a 16MP ultra-wide camera and an additional macro sensor.
    The OnePlus 8 Pro also did well in JerryRigEverythingâs durability test where the smartphone was not easy to bend and did not crack in the process. The smartphoneâs display was also exposed to flame for 30 seconds that left permanent damage but was still usable after the test.

    The iPhone 12 Pro is turning out to be a great smartphone, if we go by the latest leaks, as the company is planning to overhaul the design of the smartphone. 
    The notch design of the upcoming iPhone was leaked on Twitter and it shows that the notch is finally getting smaller, thanks to Apple moving some components around.

    Jon Prosser, the Apple insider who leaked accurate information of iPhone SE 2020âs launch has now taken to Twitter to reveal more details about the iPhone 12 Pro or whatever Apple decides to call it. 

    The notch has now been moved to the top bezel of the phone and not at the centre of the notch, giving Apple the freedom to shrink down the size. 
    Here you go, internet. pic.twitter.com/REfSw28KSX
    â Jon Prosser (@jon_prosser) April 20, 2020
    In fact, Prosser tweeted an image with detailed hardware changes in the notch and also clarified that the microphone is embedded in the speaker itself. 
    While many iPhone fans have wanted a notch-free design, it seems like Apple is going to stick with the design for now. Apple apparently does not want to drop FaceID on flagship iPhones and the TrueDepth 3D sensor that is essential for facial recognition security.

    A smaller notch is still an upgrade where the display gets more real-estate but the biggest upgrade also comes in the form of the display quality. 

    The iPhone 12 Pro is rumoured to feature a 120Hz refresh rate display which has been used on the iPad Pro, previously. Even the design of the phone is expected to change as it is rumoured to have flatter sides and a thinner body. 
    There have been rumours that the iPhone 12 will have a similar design as the classic iPhone 4.

    In terms of the camera setup, the iPhone 12 Pro is expected to have a LiDAR depth sensor similar to the new iPad Pro and a new 5G modem for better connectivity. The smartphone will also be powered by Appleâs most powerful chipset yet i.e, the A14 Bionic SoC. 

    Thereâs no word when the new iPhones are expected to launch but there is a good chance the launch of the phones will be delayed to October this year. 
    Apple usually launches new iPhones every September, however, with the COVID-19 situation, we can expect the launch to be delayed as it is extended testing periods for the upcoming phone.

    Recently, The Madhya Pradesh police found an engineer living in a cave ever since the lockdown began on March 24. The man is a Mumbai resident and embarked on Narmada Parikrama which is a very popular pilgrimage in the area when he got stranded in a forest. Now the police has handed him over to his relatives. Virendra Singh Dogra was found living in a cave in the forest in Raisen district and he has been living there for over a month now.

    The police found a few clothes and a copy of the Mahabharata with him and it couldnât get any more dramatic. The man was on a journey to Namada Parikrama but left it halfway as the journey involves walking around the Narmada River on foot from Amarkantak, Madhya Pradesh to the river mouth in Gujarat.

    Virendra stopped at Kuandevri Village at the house of a relative when the lockdown began on March 22. Later, people spotted him living in a cave and reported the matter to the forest department and the police. Virendra explained to the police that he lives in Navi Mumbai and also told them that his sister lives in Hyderabad. Later, his sister corroborated the story to the police. Then the police sent him to his relative's house in Kuandevri village.

    Now, thatâs a lot of drama and it sounds like a script from a very dramatic Bollywood movie that wouldnât impress the audience that much. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!

    In unprecedented times like these, amidst the coronavirus lockdown when business isn't as usual, people are finding creative yet effective ways to get business as close to 'usual' as possible. For instance, Subrata Pati is conducting his daily classes from the top of a neem tree in his village
    The history teacher is giving lessons to his students from his native Ahanda village in West Bengalâs Bankura district, which is about 200 km away from Kolkata, on seminal importance that shaped civilizations and conquests by kings and generals

    Subrata Pati teaches at two educational institutes in Kolkata. However, taking online classes has been a struggle from his native village. In fact, his phone screen has been frozen in the past while taking these classes, exasperated, as he was about to give up, he was struck by the innovative idea of climbing a tree to see if a change of altitude made a difference in catching network on his phone, and it, in fact, did make a difference.

    For Subrata Pati, this was the beginning of a new routine. Every morning, the 35-year-old man climbs up the neem tree next to his house and settles in on a makeshift wooden platform tied to its branches that makes hours of teaching more comfortable whilst sitting on the tree. Then, he receives an uninterrupted signal on his phone which he uses to teach his students with.

    âI have temporarily shifted from my Kolkata residence to Ahanda, which is a part of the stateâs Jangalmalal area, to be with my family in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. That done, I couldnât have shrugged off my responsibility as a teacher. The Internet network here is mostly patchy, so I had to look for a solution,â said the history teacher at Adamas University and RICE Education.

    He also makes it a point to take food and water with him to the tree-top, made of bamboo, gunny sacks, and hay.

    âSometimes the heat and the urge to pee bother me, but I am trying to adjust... sometimes storms and thundershower damage the platform, but I try and fix it the next day. Under no circumstances I would want my students to be inconvenienced,â he told PTI.

    âThe students keep boosting my confidence. They have always been very supportive. They assured me that they would put in their best efforts to score well in my paper,â he told Hindustan Times.

    People are applauding him for 'taking education to new heights', quite literally.

    Good to see that somebody is taking education to new heights in India :p
    â Gallimimus (@Gallim1mus) April 21, 2020 At least, we have internet in the age of lockdown.

    â MeEr (@MeEr93736930) April 21, 2020 People also think that he should be awarded for his efforts.
    He should be encouraged and awarded for his efforts.

    Roger Federer, the man who has won the most number of Grand Slams with 20 titles. Rafael Nadal, the person who is expected to break the formerâs record. 
    The two names have headlined the world of tennis for over a decade. They are the masters of their craft, they are the face of the sport and they are absolutely brilliant on the court.
    Not so much when it comes to technology, though.
    View this post on InstagramThe best bits from Rafaâs first IG Live with Roger Federer & Andy Murray (after a few technical difficulties ð)A post shared by (@atptour)
    Recently, the duo planned to jump on Instagram Live and have a quick chat about how they were coping in self-quarantine amid the COVID-19 outbreak and what they were doing with all the free time at hand.
    While the conversation showed exactly why their bromance is amongst the best in professional sports from all over the world, it started out on a rather hilarious note.

    After Nadal addressed his fans for five minutes, sharing his lockdown experience and how he was worried about those who were affected the most by the global pandemic, it was time for Federer to join him in the conversation but the Swizz Maestro struggled to get on the chat.
    For about a minute, the two legends of the game couldnât figure out how the app works. 
    The Spaniard had to simply stay onscreen hoping to figure it out and once he did, you could see how relieved he was.
    For all the #Fedal fans...

    As soon as the connection was made, a surprised Federer exclaimed: âAre we in? Did we make it?â and the two burst out laughing. 
    Andy Murray joined in on the fun in the comments section and roasted the south-paw for being technologically challenged.
    âThis is brilliant⦠he can win 52 French opens but not work Instagram,â wrote the Englishman.
    Eventually, Federer asked Nadal to invite Murray to the conversation so that he could get to commenting and thatâs what happened. After yet another stint of Nadal trying to learn how the damn thing worked, he was finally able to bring the two-time Wimbledon champion online.
    âItâs a bit tricky getting people on it,â said a very cheeky Murray.
    imagine not being madly in love with rafael nadal roger federer andy murray and marc lopez wow i really can't relate and im serious
    â alice ð¸âï¸ (@butterflierer) April 20, 2020
    It was a great conversation which showed how the titans of the sport who are also extremely fierce competitors, are indeed great friends off the tennis court. 
    As far as the Instagram Live video goes, special credit goes to Rafa who took all the roasting in good stride and actually figured it out whilst thousands were watching his blank face.

    OnePlus recently launched the new OnePlus 8 series phones with a ton of cool features. 
    A lot of those features are a part of the new OxygenOS that's running on the new phones and we're happy to report that a lot of them are making their way to the older OnePlus phones too.
    That's right, OnePlus is making some really cool features of the OnePlus 8 series available to the older devices in their line up with the new OxygenOS update.
    Here's a quick look at everything that's coming to the older phones -

    Smoother PerformanceOnePlus phones are all about that speed and smooth performance and things are only getting better with each update. OnePlus made as many as 280 tweaks under the hood to make the phones feel faster. They've completely redone the animations to make them feel smoother and faster.
    Obviously, the new OnePlus 8 Pro is going to benefit the most here since it has that 120Hz panel, however, the older phones should also theoretically feel faster across the board. OnePlus has some of the smoothest animations in the business, so we can only imagine how much difference this will make.
    UI TweaksOnePlus has also simplified the navigation gestures, so it should be a lot more intuitive to use that now on the older devices too. And on top of that, there are some other deeper customization options that are not limited to just themes. We're looking at things like accent colour customization, advanced settings for AMOLED Wide Gamut, sRGB and Display P3.
    The new OcygenOS also gets the Dark Theme 2.0, which is essentially the universal dark theme. So, more apps now are compatible with Dark Mode, which is always a good thing. 
    Lastly, there will be some new dynamic wallpapers too. These are the ones that shift colour tones based on "current outdoor temperature conditions."

    Faster Downloads & Smart SMSOnePlus has a nifty little feature called Dual-channel download acceleration with which the users can expect faster download speeds. This particular feature can be enabled to use both mobile data and Wi-Fi at the same time to speed up things. This is in addition to the OnePlus phones' ability to smartly switch between 3G/4G and Wi-Fi depending on the connectivity.
    Smart SMS manager is also a cool feature to have onboard as it automatically categorises things like spam and promotional messages. Smart SMS manager on the OnePlus phones can categorise the messages between up to 39 types, including OTPs, tickets and bank messages.

    Cricket Card 2.0Cricket scores will be visible on the OnePlus Shelf that sits on the left-mist screen on the home screen. 
    Users will now be able to customize this card to add their favourite teams and access the stories quickly without having to load a website or Google the scores. A pretty neat feature for all the cricket fans out there.
    All these new features will be rolled out to the existing OnePlus phones, including the OnePlus 7T series and the OnePlus 7 series soon. 
    So, keep an eye out for an update to get all the cool OnePlus 8 series features on your older device.
