OnePlus 8 Pro Smartphone Reportedly To Feature 120Hz Super Smooth Display & Snapdragon 865 SoC.

OnePlus users are reporting on Reddit, OnePlus forums, and even through the Play Store (Google Play Store) that WhatsApp is drastically draining their batteries by 40 per cent or more, Android Central reported on Saturday.
