Hi everyone,
What an exciting week this has been at OnePlus, even if it was cut short at HQ by the Dragon Boat Festival. While many of my colleagues are off enjoying three days of well-deserved rest, it's up to me to give you a glimpse into what happened this week.
Right off the bat, we had some big news to share with you all this week. I have to admit that even I don't know all that much about this
liteZThing, as it's always been a top-secret project, even within OnePlus. For those, like me, who are not part of that team, there's little more to do than to join in on the excitement that's building all around the forums. Thankfully, I've already been accepted by the exclusive Instagram account, so at least I can get a sneak peek there.
Here at HQ, I've only been able to learn a few new details about the really cool custom materials I've been seeing around the office. (Sorry, still not allowed to share anything.) But, you can bet that they're really cool, almost as cool as Carl’s bee costume.
Just by looking at what my colleagues in the project have been sharing on social media, I can tell just how excited all of them are by the overwhelmingly positive response to this brand-new OnePlus product line. A big thank you to you and all the OnePlus staff members working around the clock to prepare the next big thing by OnePlus.
What motivates me most as a member of OnePlus' Community team is seeing how our users can always blow me away with their extraordinary talents. To be honest, when I was planning the jacket design challenge, I didn't feel too confident about it. 'Hey, we are just a community full of tech enthusiasts, can we really do this?' My team answered with an affirming 'Yes. Don't hesitate, just trust our community.'
Both the quantity and quality of the submissions we got went above and beyond my expectations. We received over 1,200 entries to the jacket design contest and 6,000 for the OnePlus 8 series creative wallpaper challenge. Among them, we have picked 2 winners for coach jacket design contest and 5 winners for the wallpaper contest. I cannot wait to purchase a OnePlus 8 Pro to try them out myself. Hopefully, I'll also be able to snag one of those Community-exclusive jackets too.
The highlight of the week for most of us here at the office was definitely the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. This three-day festival came at the perfect time, as we prepare for the coming weeks of excitement. During the festival, we usually cook a traditional Chinese dish called 'Zongzi', made of sticky rice and various ingredients. What festive snacks or dishes are a part of your national traditions?
While some of us spent the holiday preparing Zongzi and tea,
@Crystal Z. used her team in the sun to hike up a mountain. If her pictures are anything to go by, it must have been a stunning trip. There's a lot of hikers at OnePlus, and we're excited to hear from you. What are some of your favorite hikes? Let us know in the comments.
That's all we've got to share this week. Have a nice weekend and enjoy your summer!
