OnePlus 5T is an amazing all-rounder smartphone which delivers flagship quality features at an affordable price tag.
The company has officially released the Android 8.1 update in time so that their huge fan base can enjoy the latest features Google got to offer.
OnePlus smartphones use customized Oxygen OS and the development team has meticulously worked to bring the 8.1 update. The developers have managed to integrate lots of interesting features into the phone. The only difference is that it is not available as a full version but is available as an open beta which every OnePlus 5 and the OnePlus 5T user can download right away.
With the Open Beta 6 for the latest flagship models from the company, the developers have officially rolled out Android 8.1 Oreo. They have also added the February 2018 security patch making the phone more secure against online threats, fixed a couple of bugs and also made tweaks to specific privacy problems as requested by users.

Answer Calls Without Touching Any Button
A unique and an important feature that most other smartphone users would envy of is the auto pick up gesture. When you receive a call on your OnePlus 5 or 5T, you just have to pick up the phone and the call will be activated. It’s simple, intuitive and definitely a future technology that other smartphones should receive in the near future.
The developers have also included a couple of new clock styles for the ambient display. It makes it easier to customize the phone’s home screen and give it a unique look. Gaming is becoming more popular on the mobile platform with models like the Razer Phone that are launched solely for hardcore gamers.
OnePlus has added a useful gaming mode which gamers would love. It includes features like automatically switching off the adaptive brightness and the power saving mode so that it doesn’t affect your gaming performance. When brightness randomly varies, it’s very frustrating during a gaming session which is why it will be turned off in gaming mode.
OnePlus Switch is yet another new feature which allows you to seamlessly switch between multiple devices by transferring stored data. When you switch SIM cards or own two different phones, Switch comes as a convenient feature to migrate application data. The developers have also fixed most known bugs and with the open beta sessions going successfully, it may not be long for the official Android 8.1 update to be rolled out to all OnePlus 5T and OnePlus 5 users.
