one pluses latest 1+5 flagship has a lot
of new hardware but it has new software
tricks that are useful too
first to make it easier on your eyes to
read text turn on reading mode which
turns text and images to black and white
in settings go to display and tap
reading mode select the apps you want to
apply reading mode - I chose the New
York Times text messages and of course
CNET's own app now every time you launch
these apps your phone will switch to
reading mode keep in mind everything
turns to black and white so you'll miss
out on any vibrant photos or images once
you quit your phone will switch back to
color in a similar vein night mode
tensor display yellow to make it more
comfortable to read your phone in the
dark and reduce eyestrain previous one
plus phones already had this but now you
can schedule it to automatically turn on
and off at certain times to start go
back to display in settings tap night
mode from there choose what time you
want to start I start turning in around
11:00 p.m. and wake up around 7:00 a.m.
after I chose those times I'm done next
turn off notifications while gaming so
you won't be interrupted tucked under
advanced in settings tap gaming Do Not
Disturb from there to add the games you
want to apply this feature to now you
won't get distracted by pesky
notifications that pop up and when
you're done you can check what you
missed in the notifications menu there's
also expanded screenshots that take
screenshots beyond what you see on the
display to start take a screenshot how
you normally would by pressing the power
button and the volume down button at the
same time then tap the rectangle icon
