Two months after rolling out OxygenOS 5.1.5 , OnePlus is now rolling out a stable build of the OxygenOS 5.1.6, which doesn’t bring Android 9 Pie to the devices yet. However, OnePlus has now officially confirmed that the OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T smartphones now come under the Project Treble initiative.
OnePlus is seeding OxygenOS Open Beta 15 and 17 for the OnePlus 5T and OnePlus 5 respectively which will soon be added as an incremental update to the OxygenOS 5.1.5 update that was rolled out last week. The update will bring Portrait mode for the front-facing camera and the latest August 2018 Android security patches.
Project Treble is what allows developers to make updates and ROMs available at a faster rate by separating hardware from software when updating an Android device. While support for Treble isn’t particularly customer-centric, faster updates will be no short of a blessing for an old device like the OnePlus 5.
The OxygenOS 5.1.4 is expected to deliver better photo quality inside the camera. Additionally, it is claimed to improved battery life and will bring in the latest batch of Android security features.
Recently, OnePlus also rolled out the Open Beta of OxygenOS to OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T that brought in Project Treble support to both these smartphones.
The Gallery app which now displays the build version as v2.6.71 features a new pencil icon which will let you choose from three video editing options. While clicking on the scissors will enable you to trip clippings of a video, the icon with a music note will allow you to apply background music.
The pre-stable firmware will seed support for Project Treble which means devices that launch with Android Oreo will be compatible with modular OTA updates directly from Google. The solution will thus shorten the process of updating Android OS which has been slow for several OEMs.
OnePlus will be rolling out 2 years of regular software updates from the release date of the phone (release dates of T variants would be considered), along with new features. This simply means that the brand will provide the updates to OnePlus 3/3T till November 2018 and Android security patch till November 2019.
The latest update brings only the minor issues. It fixes the issue with OnePlus bootloaders. This has also fixed the stability issue with the Bluetooth connection for cars. Apart from these, the update brings the general bug fixes and the improvements.
The update disables peek notifications option for Do Not Disturb mode and reading mode. The update also optimises sleep standby power consumption. The OnePlus Switch app gets UI improvements. The app has also received support for application data migration along with general bug fixes and stability improvements.
The latest update brings a host of new optimizations, and more with the stable update.
