OnePlus starts rolling out Project Treble support for 5 and 5T smartphones

Promised earlier in the year, OnePlus is finally bringing support for Project Treble for both the OnePlus 5 and 5T. This software update (OxygenOS 5.1.6) is rolling out in stages and should be making its way to all devices in the coming days. Project Treble is a feature made by Google to make it easier for manufacturers to develop and release software upgrades to supported devices. The feature separates the framework of Android operating system from the system images of the chipset vendor, allowing Google to distribute OS upgrades without waiting for these chipset manufacturers to modify their system images.

Aside from bringing Project Treble support, OnePlus is also bringing in the October 2018 Android Security Patch, which fixes vulnerabilities found in the Android OS, and an instability fix for the Bluetooth connection on the phones. For the Indian carrier IDEA, the 5 and 5T also get VoLTE service support.

OnePlus 5 and 5T get new features and July security patch with OxygenOS 5.1.4

The latest over-the-air update for the OnePlus 5 and 5T just arrived and it brings the latest security patch for both handsets. On top of that, OxygenOS 5.1.4 also brings with it a bunch of new features. One of the most prominent ones is called Sleep Standby Mode. This feature is designed to lessen the amount of battery drain when you aren’t using your phone. According to a OnePlus forum post, the device will track your phone use and determine when you are asleep or aren’t using the phone at specific times of the day. It’ll turn off network connections then to help save on the battery. It’ll power it on again a bit before you wake up to make sure you don’t miss any important notifications.

Aside from that, photo clarity has supposedly been improved but OnePlus didn’t specify how. There’s also new Group Messaging in the default messaging app and general bug fixes. Keep your eyes peeled for the update to head your way, OnePlus is rolling the OTA out bit by bit to different devices from different regions.

OnePlus 6’s selfie portrait feature is coming to the OnePlus 5 & 5T

Responding to user feedback from its first Open Ears Forum in India, OnePlus is bringing its selfie portrait mode from the OnePlus 6 to two of its predecessors the OnePlus 5 and 5T. Without dual-front facing cameras, its implementation is similar to the Google Camera and the Google Pixel 2, meaning it’s purely software based. Porting won’t be much of an issue as both phones feature a 16-megapixel front shooter like the OnePlus 6. OnePlus hasn’t exactly said when it’s coming but we’re sure to hear from them when it does arrive.
