OnePlus is rolling a new OxygenOS update (11.0.5.6) to its latest smartphone, the OnePlus 8T. The update comes with improvements to the fingerprint scanner, camera, battery, and network connection.
According to OnePlus, OxygenOS 11.0.5.6 improves the accuracy when you’re registering the fingerprint on the device. The company also claims to have improved the experience while using the fingerprint scanner by fixing an issue that caused the screen to flash during the unlock process.
In addition, the update optimizes media file scanning for faster search results. Along with these improvements, OnePlus says it has optimized power consumption on the device, which in turn should result in better battery life from the OnePlus 8T. However, it remains to be seen how effective the improvement is.
With this update, OnePlus claims to have optimized the network connection’s stability and the overall stability of video calls. Apart from these, the company has improved the white balance and imaging quality of the camera. For the entire list of changes, take a look at the official changelog of the update below:
