It works just as you would expect, there are two void slots – one on the top from where the camera peeks and an another vertical space on the bottom. There are no connections involved with the phone itself here, the user will have to snap in any supported accessory and that’s it. In some cases, the module will require a lighting port or Bluetooth link.

The steps involved in flashing the ROM would however differ from the ones followed to flash an Android phone. If you want to access the flashing guide, you are required to register for the Microsoft Insiders program first. Rest assured that at any point of time if you want to revert back to MIUI, you can do so by flashing the MIUI ROM.

Well, although the name iPhone just takes us to the smartphones with a half-eaten apple logo on the back, there was a time when the company got sued for naming its smartphone ‘iPhone’. Cisco Systems back then had the legal patent to call one of its device iPhone. The device allowed its users to use Skype without a computer which was launched around 22 days before the Apple’s iPhone was launched....

But even though its starting price of Rs 41,999 was a pleasant surprise for Indian users, there is no doubt that the OnePlus 8 does face considerable competition even at that price point (as we pointed out earlier).

Like every other phone maker going that route as of late, the company will be fitting a much narrower notch as the phone won’t have any dedicated sensors for facial recognition. Precisely, it will measure 19.616mm x 7.687mm. “Our notch, it will be there, it’ll be bigger than the Essential Phone, smaller than the iPhone.”, added Carl Pei, OnePlus’ co-founder further. In addition to that, OnePlus says it has been analyzing the top thousand Play Store apps to evaluate which one of them will require a compatibility mode for being coherent with the notch design....

The other key difference between this and the regular variant is the accessories you get in the box. There’s an Iron Man themed protective case and a Captain America medal.
