Following the first OxygenOS 11 open beta build for OnePlus 7 and 7T series that gave users a taste of Android 11, OnePlus is now rolling out the second OxygenOS build for these phones. The phones in question include OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, and 7T Pro.
Always-on Display on OnePlus 7 Pro and 7T Pro
The main change on the new open beta build is the availability of always-on display(AOD). However, the feature is available just on the Pro models – OnePlus 7 Pro and OnePlus 7T Pro at this moment. In its release notes for OnePlus 7T, the company promises to bring the feature to the OnePlus 7 and 7T in subsequent releases.
Apart from AOD, the update optimizes the sliding effect of dynamic wallpaper and the adjusting intensity of auto-brightness.
