The Making OF OnePLus FANS ?? One of the best ways to get human beings to want something is to tell them that they can’t have it. With the invite system implemented through contests like Smash the Past , OnePlus made their phones objects of desire. After all, phones have become lifestyle objects and adding a story to them always works. Even before OnePlus launched its first phone in 2014, it had shown expertise at creating a buzz around itself and its products. It went after the geeks first, people who trawl Internet forums discussing custom ROMs and jailbreak phones as easily as most people reboot them. It listened to them, trying to collect thoughts on what people really wanted from their phones. But even as it added to its information repository, it also gained people who were able to give it publicity that every company dreams of: word of mouth. These enthusiasts were won over by the good hardware/software mix at a reasonable price. Importantly, being mor...
Highlights:- Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S camera to receive Mi 8 firmware, says CEO The new experience is expected to come through a software update Both handsets have an identical camera module Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S will offer a camera experience at par with the Xiaomi Mi 8 through an upcoming firmware update, revealed CEO Lei Jun. DxOMark last week gave the Mi 8 an overall score of 99, surpassing the camera scores of the iPhone X and matching the results of the Galaxy S9+. Despite featuring a rear camera setup identical to the latest Mi series flagship, the Mi Mix 2S, on the other hand, received an overall score of 97.

In a Weibo post, Jun stated that the Mi Mix 2S will soon receive an update that will bring the Mi 8 camera firmware to improve the experience. The executive also compared the DxOMark ...
