If you're a OnePlus 5 user, you can now—or will soon be able to—upgrade to OxygenOS 5.0 based on Android 8.0 Oreo which is currently being rolled out to units globally. According to OnePlus, the update brings along new features which includes: Launcher optimizations for Shelf, and a new option that will allow users to upload their photos through Shot.
The camera app also got a boost with new UI design, photo quality optimizations, and a newly added beauty effect for Portrait Mode. Also added is a new “Place” tab for viewing photos on a map, along with new history and alarm calendar features for the Calculator and Clock, respectively.
For the system part, these are the changelist as announced by the company:
In similar news, OnePlus 5 will also get the face unlock features of the OnePlus 5T. As it stands now, only the latter has this feature amongst all smartphones launched by OnePlus. Though, it wasn't announced as part of the Android Oreo update, the Chinese manufacturer will be pushing it to OnePlus 5 soon.
According to OnePlus' co-founder Carl Pei, “ by popular demand, Face Unlock is coming to the OnePlus 5 .” The date this new feature will be enabled wasn't disclosed, but it won't take much time for hardworking OnePlus to make the necessary changes.
Meanwhile, it might take a while before Android 8.0 Oreo hits your OnePlus 5 device, as the Chinese manufacturer said the update is being pushed out to a small percentage of users first. Hopefully, it will get a wider roll-out in the next few days.
