Members of the World Wildlife Fund issued a statement noting that the bears appear thin, and that food is definitely the primary motivation for their impromptu invasion.

Since its conception a few years ago, OnePlus’s whole smartphone-making mantra was manufacturing high-end phones that could compete against the latest iPhone or Galaxy S handset without hurting your budget. Since then, it launched two phones each year, all of them sporting flagship specs at affordable prices. Of all the Chinese smartphone vendors looking to conquer western markets, OnePlus was one of the most successful ones, reaching a few critical milestones in the past few years. OnePlus partnered with US carriers and was also one of the first companies in the world to launch a 5G phone. In 2019, OnePlus launched two series of phones including the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7T. Each model came in regular and Pro versions, which were still more affordable than alternatives from competitors. But come next year, OnePlus will reportedly launch a phone that’s unlike anything the company has made in the past.
