After a very long time, OnePlus 5/5T users are finally getting a software update. The latest beta update of Oxygen OS brings the latest security patches and device improvements.
OnePlus 5/5T Oxygen OS Update With Trebles Support
The Latest Oxygen OS 5.1.5 beta builds OB17, and OB15 brings changes in the UI and also adds portrait selfie mode to front camera as well.
However, since the OnePlus 5/5T has no dual front camera, the front portrait mode will not be as effective as expected, but the bokeh effect is a welcome feature.
Also, the latest beta software update brings lots of improvements to the OxygenOS including optimized background power consumption control, Gaming mode 3.0, hourly weather forecast, new OxygenOS UI in the native Notes app and UI optimization in Oneplus Switch.
The Gaming Mode 3.0 also brings call suspension notification, text notification mode and optimizations in UI and interaction to improve your gaming experience on OnePlus 5/5T.
