Why OnePlus? - Victor, Community Manager France Apr 28, 2020

Vito B. , May 8, 2020 :

Hi everyone,

First thanks a lot for your warm feedback, and thanks again to @YRJ and the Writer’s club for the invite.
You asked some very interesting questions, let me try to give you my best answers

Honestly I don’t have this kind of global vision of the community. IMO culture will of course have its part in the difference between communities. But in the end we are all here for the same reason: being part of something that aim to change the smartphone world, and also share our thoughts and culture with others.

That an interview? ^^ This question is so hard, but in many different ways I want to say “stubborn”.
I never stop until it is no more possible or someone tells me that it is over ;-)

It comes down to how I got so into this community: events. I think hosting local events is the best way to create bonds between people.
Sometimes you finaly met people you were talking with or you just met some amazing new individuals.

Even if the Community started from virtual, I think the real is the best way to connect and expand. Plus of course some very active members that have great content ideas.

Everytime I see a user sharing his/her OnePlus device on Social Media and saying how happy he is. Often people goes online because they are having issues, it is how internet is. So when someone takes time to share how happy he/she is about OnePlus, it makes my day.

Beard forever my friend
At my level I am not part of any big decision. But some times we are asked some feedback from product team.
But as Closed Beta tester for OxygenOS, I have plenty of room to give my feedback there

In terms of features, I think the OnePlus 8 Pro is the device I have been waiting honestly. And it makes sometimes wonder why we still have PCs seeing how powerfull smartphones are. So, maybe a feature I would love to see is a desktop mode.

I am a part-time cycling guy ^^ even if at the moment it is complicated. I used to be a very good fencer during my teenage, but that’s a long time ago.
I am also a lot into motorcycles and mechanics. I used to repare and customize friends motorcycles. I was also into the minibike world (Honda Monkey, Dax), the “Ikea Bikes”. Wait, I may have a picture of one of my latest one:

My first launch was 7 Series, so a loooootttt of stress, but everything went smooth.
What stays in my mind is joy so I think I can say it was great.

Everything. I was in R&D so a lot of CAD, I was managing a team of 5 peoples, big projects, etc. I was at a very high point in my career and I could have had some high leveled position.
So, coming to OnePlus made me start everything to zero. I needed to adapt my previous experiences to this new world.
And I think I still have a lot to add to OnePlus, so let’s see what happens in the future

That’s it for this Q&A for me, hope my answers were worth it.
I really hope to be able to meet some of you in the futur ;-)
