OnePlus 6, 6T Gets Zen Mode and Screen Recorder Features

For the unaware, OnePlus introduced a lot of new OxygenOS features with the OnePlus 7 series. Now two of the important features are making it to the OnePlus 6 and 6T smartphones. Firstly, OnePlus has added the Screen Recorder feature which allows users to record their screen along with phone’s internal audio. For example, this feature comes in extremely handy for gamers who want to record their gameplay on PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty, and post it on YouTube. As noted, the screen recorder also records internal gameplay audio which comes as a bonus feature to the gamers.

Next, the Chinese company has added the Zen Mode functionality, which basically allows users to stay away from their mobile phone for 20 minutes. The Zen Mode can be activated from the quick tiles in notification drawer; When enabled, you’ll not be able to access your OnePlus phone for 20 minutes. I have found this feature very useful on the OnePlus 7 Pro. Other features like screenshot editor, Fnatic mode will be added to the Beta version very soon, as confirmed by OnePlus.
