OnePlus teases 'special project' with cryptic photo and video

OnePlus is cooking something up, but we can't exactly say what that is if we base it on the company's latest teaser. A tweet on the OnePlus UK account states, "We're working on something really cool and we really can't tell you yet. To be continued." Rumours about the upcoming OnePlus 8 have already started surfacing, so it's logical to think it's related to that. Some of the recent speculations suggest one of the phones in the series will come with wireless charging, while all three units will feature hole-punch displays. But we can't exactly say how the image relates to that. Some people on Twitter are speculating the company might be working on a foldable device or power bank. 

But then, the company also tweeted recently that it's working on a "special project" that isn't a phone or commercial product. And then showed off a quick clip a few hours ago showing off the mystery project and the words "Making progress." The date 03.03.2020 was also seen at the end of the clip. What's your guess? What do you think OnePlus is cooking up?

Facebook cancels F8 conference citing coronavirus concerns

Facebook won't be pushing through with its biggest event of the year over concerns about the novel coronavirus (or COVID-19) outbreak. The F8 developer, which is a mostly-annual conference, was scheduled to take place on May 5 and 6 at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center. The highly anticipated Facebook event attracted over 5,000 developers, entrepreneurs, and creators from around the world last year. Facebook's decision mirrors the cancellation of this year's Mobile World Congress due to COVID-19.

Konstantinos Papamiltiadis, Facebook's director of developer platforms and programs, said in a statement, "This was a tough call to make—F8 is an incredibly important event for Facebook and it's one of our favourite ways to celebrate all of you from around the world—but we need to prioritize the health and safety of our developer partners, employees, and everyone who helps put F8 on."

Fujifilm Instax 11 is a smarter instant camera with a selfie mode

The new Fujifilm Instax 11 will do all the work for you. This instant analog camera can automatically adjust shutter speed and flash output based on the ambient lighting conditions. Past Instax models needed you to change the exposure dial manually, but now the Instax 11 will figure it out for you. This feature means there might be fewer wasted shots, which could mean better photos while also saving you some money on the film.

The Fujifilm Instax 11 also has a new selfie mode built-in. You just need to pull the translucent ring in front of the lens so you can extend it for selfies. A small mirror is located right next to the lens, so you can be sure you're framing your shot right. You can even use the selfie mode to take close up shots of other subjects.
