OnePlus, Kalki Koechlin team up to promote digital wellbeing

OnePlus has teamed up with actor and writer Kalki Koechlin to promote the need for us to focus on digital wellbeing. 

In a video, which is just over two minutes long, Koechlin talks about the impact of social media, fake news, smartphone addiction, and other perils of the internet. Titled ‘Stop at Nothing’, the video also talks about the necessity of switching to the Zen Mode, a feature for digital wellbeing that’s available on OnePlus smartphones. 

Zen Mode basically zones your smartphone out for a certain period of time (which can be customised by you). And over this period, you cannot open apps, send texts or fiddle around as you would normally do, you can only turn on the camera if you need and send an emergency message or make an emergency call at best.

The video has been written by Koechlin and produced by Lightstream and shot on the new OnePlus 8T 5G. You can watch the video here.

‘Stop at Nothing’ also gives us a look at the camera capabilities of the OnePlus 8T 5G. The latest flagship smartphone from OnePlus comes with improved quad-camera capabilities, especially for shooting videos.

The OnePlus 8T 5G can shoot 4K videos at 30/60fps and 1080p videos at 30/60fps. The quad-rear camera setup consists of a 48-megapixel primary sensor, 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, 5-megapixel macro lens, and 2-megapixel monochrome lens.

The camera app also comes with new video features such as Video Focus Tracking, Video Portrait, and Video Nightscape.

Apart from being shot in low light, the video also uses OnePlus' Video Portrait Mode (otherwise known as bokeh video effect) that allows one to focus on the subject while the background is blurred, thanks to the improved AI algorithm that detects and analyses human subjects for a more accurate blur.  The OnePlus 8T 5G also allows you to switch easily between the primary and ultra-wide camera while shooting at 4K 30fps. 

The OnePlus 8T 5G is currently available online for a starting price of ₹42,999 and is available in Luna Silver and Aquamarine Green colour options.
