The OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro were recently introduced and with them came software news for OxygenOS, available for these phones. And yes, if you have an older OnePlus you may be interested in having those news. We show you how to activate Zen mode.
The OnePlus 7 and the OnePlus 7 Pro can already be purchased in Spain, so it is possible that some of you already have the phone or are impatient at home waiting for the delivery man to ring the bell.
But the owners of a OnePlus 6 or a OnePlus 6T, and even a OnePlus 5 or a OnePlus 5T may not find it so convenient to switch phones yet, but they want that wonderful Zen mode that has been introduced in the new phones of the brand. So we come to solve it.
What is Zen Mode?
First of all, and just in case you don't know, we will explain what Zen mode is. It is a new feature introduced in the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro that turns off Internet connections (not calls) and limits access to games and only lets you access the camera and allows calls, in this way you avoid any distraction. This mode lasts 20 minutes and it cannot be deactivated, to avoid temptation when you are working or studying.
This Zen Mode has a functionality similar to the app of Google Digital Wellbeing, with the idea also of concentrating on a task. I already know confirmed that this Zen mode would reach the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T, but we do not know when or if it will reach previous versions, so to heal ourselves in health, we explain how to do it now.
Activate Zen mode on any OnePlus
Zen mode has been launched in APK Mirror as an app, so you can go there now and install the app on any company phone running at least Android 7.0 Nougat, so you may need at least an updated OnePlus 3.
Zen mode is an implementation that we like a lot, since it is a very good tool to concentrate while doing other things like studying, working or simply relaxing.
That's how easy it is to have Zen mode on your OnePlus phone, so you can turn your phone into the closest thing to the OnePlus 7, you can even download the official OnePlus 7 wallpapers, so if you have for example a OnePlus 6T, letting go of hardware side, maybe you can emulate the OnePlus 7 as much as possible.
What do you think of the implementation of this Zen mode? Do you see it useful or would you not use it?
