OnePlus 3

OnePlus is rolling out the Android 7.1.1 based Open Beta 13 and Beta 4 software updates to its OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T handsets respectively.

Users who have already flashed Open Beta on their handsets will receive the new build over-the-air (OTA) after which one can check all the latest additions to the smartphone.

Speaking of which, the new Android 7.1.1 based update adds several new features to both the handsets along with bug fixes and general improvements.

First off, both the handsets now get a new launcher along with support for Nougat’s app shortcuts. The app drawer, as well as the UI for launcher settings, get a redesign.

There’s a new status bar icon option which displays the real time network speed. Also, there’s a Do Not Disturb mode for gaming now. Akin to Apple’s Night Shift, the OnePlus 3 and 3T users get a Night Mode which reduces the emission of blue light from your smartphone’s screen during night.

Other additions include Notification Denoising, a new Secure Box for encrypting files, and improvements in contacts management along with linking and merge functionalities. Also, there’s a quick pay option now for Indian users.

Further, the company has optimized the touch latency issues as well as the EIS on camera for video recording.

  1. Every one of the new features is golden. Especially gaming DND mode. The launcher changing to one more like pixel is a clear indication of how oneplus keeps a close eye on the stock android trends and guidelines.
