OnePlus 7 Pro Gets the Same DisplayMate Score as the Galaxy S10 Plus

oneplus 7 pro 5 things we know

Chinese smartphone manufacturer OnePlus is gearing up to launch the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro on May 14th, and while we were all pretty sure they’d be among the fastest smartphones out there (that’s something you can trust OnePlus on), DisplayMate today gave OnePlus fans a fresh new surprise.

In a tweet on its official handle, DisplayMate said that the OnePlus 7 Pro’s display has been tested in-depth by them and it received their highest A+ rating in the tests. The exact wordings of the tweet read “DisplayMate’s in-depth Lab Tests of the OnePlus 7 Pro OLED Display have just been completed, earning our Highest A+ Display Rating. Our in-depth Display Shoot-Out will be published here on May 14.”

That’s some high-level praise for the OnePlus 7 Pro’s display, which, the company itself has claimed will be the best display on a OnePlus smartphone ever, and that it costs considerably more than any other display on a OnePlus phone. The A+ rating from DisplayMate puts it right next to high-end flagship smartphones like the Galaxy S10 Plus, which received DisplayMate’s highest ever A+ rating when it launched.

The OnePlus 7 Pro is expected to keep basically the same spec-sheet as the OnePlus 7, but is expected to up its display game with a higher-resolution AMOLED panel with a 90Hz refresh rate — a first for OnePlus smartphones. It will also have a curved display, similar to the Galaxy S10, or the P30 Pro, which should definitely add to the in-hand feel of the phone, even though palm-rejection will be a major focus point with a display like that.

Needless to say, the OnePlus 7 Pro looks like it’s shaping up to be one of the best Android smartphones of the year, and if the company gets the price right on this, it might just be one of their best selling smartphones as well. We’ll get to know the pricing and all the details about the phone on May 14, when it’s officially launched, and DisplayMate has also said that it will publish the full display shoot-out of the OnePlus 7 Pro on that same day; clearly, there’s a lot to look forward to in May.

Mysterious Drones Spotted in Colorado and Nebraska; Sources Unknown

A group of drones was reportedly been spotted in the sky at night last week in Colorado and Nebraska that made the residents anxious and worried. The police officials in charge have no idea regarding where these drones are from. “They’ve been doing a grid search, a grid pattern. They fly one square and then they fly another square,”  Colorado’s Phillips County Sheriff Thomas Elliot told the Denver Post. The drones have an approximate six-foot wingspan and stay 200 to 300 feet away from buildings. At least 17 drones have been spotted till now. They appear at around 7 PM at night and disappear at around 10 PM . Until now, the drones have not been caught doing any illegal or unofficial activities.  “They do not seem to be malicious. They don’t seem to be doing anything that would indicate criminal activity,” Sheriff Elliott added. The Federal Aviation Agency, the Air Force, Drug Enforcement Administration, and US Army Forces Command confirmed that the drones did not belong to them.

Twitter Wants to Build an ‘Open and Decentralized’ Social Media Platform

In an attempt to create a Facebook competitor, which everyone flocks to, Twitter became increasingly centralized over the years. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey believes that’s the case and has now tweeted a lengthy plan to fund research to build an open and decentralized standard for social media platforms. It will “ultimately become a standard” that Twitter’s client will be based upon. Dubbed Bluesky, this project will see a team of up to five researchers , which could include open-source architects, engineers, and designers, being on-boarded in the near future. Currently, Bluesky has no team members but Dorsey tweeted that Twitter’s CTO Parag Agrawal has been tasked with finding a lead. The folks over at Firefox have already extended a helping hand, saying how the non-profit has contributed to decentralization. Enough jibber-jabber, but what exactly is Bluesky? And what does it intend to achieve? Dorsey, in his tweetstorm , states that the challenges being faced by centralized social
