What makes OnePlus different from others? They keep their ears on the ground, and actually listen to what their loyal customers are saying.
Giving a practical demonstration of this fact, OnePlus conducted a two-day workshop ‘Open Ear Forum’ in New York, where they received feedback from its users to understand the software and hardware updates that can be incorporated in 2020.
Upon hearing and evaluating the challenges received from the invited videographers OnePlus has aimed to upgrade its camera experience this year by improving shutter speed, upgrading auto focus consistency and super 4k stabilization.
