If you’ve been eagerly anticipating the OnePlus 8 series, then you might have heard the rumors that the company could be planning for an official launch in April. Turns out, the rumors were right because OnePlus has since officially confirmed on Twitter that the OnePlus 8 series will be announced on the 14th of April.
The company does mention the word “series” which shouldn’t be surprising given that there will most likely be at least two models of the OnePlus 8. This includes the base OnePlus 8 model, along with a “Pro” version in the OnePlus 8 Pro. Both models are expected to largely share the same features and hardware, where the Pro version will most likely come with a larger/better display and maybe a different camera setup.
The #OnePlus8Series is coming. April 14.

However, under the hood, both phones will most likely be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 chipset and could feature 5G capabilities. Also, according to recently leaked renders, the OnePlus 8 could also come in new finish options, one of which is an “interstellar glow” finish which is probably one of the funkier finishes we’ve seen from the company to date.
In any case, more details including pricing and availability should be known in the next couple of weeks, so do check back with us on the 14th of April if you’d like all the official details.

Astrophysicist Gets Magnets Stuck Up His Nose While Trying To Invent A Face-Touching Sensor
Posted in: Today's Chili
These days it’s becoming more common to see people walking about with face masks on. This is done to prevent the breathing in of the COVID-19 virus. However, the problem with face masks is that due to the fact that many of us are not used to wearing them, it can be uncomfortable which results in us touching our face more often than we should.
This ultimately defeats the purpose of the mask, because touching our face could potentially allow the virus, which could be on our hands, to enter our body system. To help combat this problem, Australian astrophysicist Daniel Reardon came up with an idea to create a sensor that can detect and alert you if you’re about to touch your face.
The only problem was that during the course of Reardon creating the sensor, he ended up getting a pair of magnets stuck up his nose in a hilarious mishap. According to Reardon, his initial idea did not go as planned and during a break, he started putting magnets on his face, like his ears and eventually moved onto his nostrils.
Unfortunately, he put a magnet in his other nostril which resulted in the magnets attracting each other and got stuck in his septum. It seems that he was unable to remove the magnets himself which meant he had to go to the hospital to get them removed. This provided a brief moment of levity for hospital workers as according to Reardon, several doctors and nurses found his predicament funny.
In the end, two doctors were required to remove them, where each doctor had to tug at the magnets in each nostril. We’re not sure if Reardon has returned to working on his invention, but we imagine that he’s probably learnt his lesson about putting magnets in his nose.

When it comes to video game characters, there aren’t many around that are quite as famous as Mario. The Mario franchise has been around for decades and this year, the Super Mario series will be turning 35 years old, an incredible achievement for a video game. To celebrate the 35th anniversary, word on the street is that Nintendo has planned several Mario games.
According to the reports, Nintendo is said to be working on 3D remasters of several Mario games from back in the day. This includes Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and then Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. There is also word that there will be a Paper Mario game as well.
These reports come from several sources, such as Video Games Chronicle, Eurogamer, and GamesBeat, all of whom have heard pretty much the same thing. The reports have also claimed that Nintendo had originally intended to make the announcement at E3 2020, which would have taken place this June had it not been cancelled due to concerns about the coronavirus outbreak.
Instead, Nintendo will most likely be hosting its own Nintendo Direct online event where the company will stream its announcement. This shouldn’t be surprising as Nintendo typically prefers hosting its own events, so this is more or less par for the course. When asked to comment on the rumors, a Nintendo spokesperson told GamesBeat that they have nothing to announce.
