OnePlus will implement a fan’s idea into its OxygenOS

To add some further depth to your idea, you’ll also need to:

• Explain the logic behind this product and how you want it to be implemented
• Include directions and details via diagram sketches. Draw each screen and show the flow from screen to screen. 

If you want to participate, you better hurry, suggestions will be accepted until February 22. The winner and, of course, the winning idea, will be announced by OnePlus “by mid-March” and work will begin on the feature immediately. But wait, what does the winner actually get?

According to the announcement, the winner will get to experience a OnePlus launch event as a VIP guest and receive the device that has the feature they came up with. Considering the timeline of the contest and assuming the suggested feature won’t be something groundbreaking and tedious to code, that device might be the OnePlus 7, which if we go by previous releases, should come in June 2019.

Now, we’re sure at least some of you are thinking “OnePlus is using its fans’ free labor to make new features and subsequently money, bring me my pitchfork!”, but the rules and rewards are quite clear (always read the terms and conditions!), so if people want to spend some of their free time to contribute to the devices they love, then more power to them! Plus, a phone, a trip and some bragging rights are fair compensation for answering a few questions and creating a few mock-up screens, we think.
