A few days ago, when OnePlus started unveiling details about its upcoming smartphone one at a time, they faced a lot of criticism from the OnePlus community for making the display notch standard. The social media has since then pleaded OnePlus to get rid of the display notch before they release it in the market. Despite the company’s top officials reaching out to people through detailed explanations, the angry fans just can’t digest the presence of the notch. OnePlus now has a solution to it.

OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has taken it to the forum to express his concern about the fans’ backlash and therefore has promised to roll out a software-based black-out option for the OnePlus 6. The smartphone will launch with the display notch but users will be able to mask the notch by disabling the display area around the notch, which would give an impression of the notch being absent from the display. However, there’s a twist in OnePlus’ solution.

Since OnePlus has been continuously stressing on utilising the display area more efficiently, the company will only make the background of the status bar instead of disabling the area completely. The blacked-out area will display the notification icons and the time. Therefore, for the notch-haters, they can only reduce the impression of the availability of the notch.

Since OnePlus says that the black-out feature will help to diminish the notch’s presence, we assume that the AMOLED display will be retained on the OnePlus 6 as these panels can render natural black tones. Additionally, if OnePlus is planning to roll out this feature after the launch, it seems that they will be unveiling it pretty soon. How soon? Stay tuned for all the news related to the OnePlus 6.

Xiaomi brings its crowdfunding platform to India. Like Ketto or Kickstarter, the Mi Crowdfunding platform aims provide a dedicated space to products or ideas that still need money to go into mass production and hit the markets. So, for a person like you and me, when we invest and put money on a product, it needs to reach a specific sales target within a certain time period. If the sales target is reached, all customers get the product. However, if the target is not met, the product is cancelled and the backers get their money back.

As of now, there are two products listed on the platform – the Mi Bluetooth Audio Receiver and the Mi Selfie Stick Tripod, which are priced at Rs 999 and Rs 1,099 respectively. The first is a headphone amplifier, which connects to smartphones via Bluetooth 4.2. Whereas, the tripod selfie stick does exactly what it says, its a combination of a tripod and a selfie stick. It also comes with a Bluetooth shutter remote control.

Now, if you are interesting in any of these devices, here’s how you can get started.

To begin with, the platform accepts payments via Credit card/ Debit card, Internet banking, payment wallets, however, Cash on Delivery (CoD) is not accepted. If you are ok with the payment method, you can invest on a device. Now, here’s why people invest on a device when funds for it are still being raised.

Initially, during fundraising, people or companies generally ask for a low price on the device, in order to mostly just meet the expense to produce the product in mass. Eventually, when the device meets the target and is up for sale, it is highly likely that the prices of the products go up. However, early investors are in for a benefit here. What you pay for initially during the time of fundraising, remains the finals price for you, despite any increase in the price later.

In an event that you change your mind on purchasing the product, you can always cancel your orders before the it ships out. The company states that refunds usually take about seven to ten days from time of cancellation. The shipping date varies between products, and priority deliveries start once a project is successful.

Basically, the idea behind crowdfunding is that instead of asking a single company or an investor to put in large amounts of money into your project, such platforms let you ask a large number of people to invest a relatively small amount.
