Global technology brand OnePlus has launched a puppy-powered, Battery Anxiety Helpline on WhatsApp as new research revealed that that more than half of people said that spending time with a dog is a great way to ease anxiety and stress, and 41 percent said a cuddle from their favourite furry friend would make them feel better during a difficult time.
Its WhatsApp service will deliver videos of OnePlus’s pack of dogs – a squad of baby Labradors called Dobie, Wilbur, Purple and Duck – to recharge peoples spirts, whilst they recharge their phone. The OnePlus Battery Pack will be on hand to respond to people’s battery anxiety worries by sending them an adorable, personalised puppy-playtime video.
Tuomas Lampen, European Head of Strategy, OnePlus said: “Following the launch of the OnePlus 10T – which provides up to a days’ worth of charge in just 10 minutes and a full charge in just 19 minutes – we are thrilled to create a service that not only alleviates symptoms of battery anxiety but also boosts those all-important happy hormones with the help of our puppy-powered WhatsApp helpline.
"With the launch of the OnePlus Battery Anxiety Helpline, our goal is to provide some light-hearted emotional support to anyone feeling low or frustrated by their smartphone’s battery-life – at least until they purchase a OnePlus 10T."
All people have to do to get their fluffy fix is send a message to 07385936686 on August 18 to be on the receiving end of the cuddliest puppy content. Or people can now pre-order the new OnePlus 10T before it hits the shelves on 25th August.
Those who pre-order 10T before midnight on August 21 can get a set of OnePlus Buds Z2 wireless headphones for £1, as well as standing a chance to win the phone for free, or win one of a range of accessories. Those who trade in their old phone can also get an additional £50 trade in benefit.
