OnePlus 8 series is receiving May 2020 security patch update around the world with optimizations, camera tweaks, and more. This is the second major update for OnePlus 8/8 Pro after last month’s April security update which also brought a similar set of changes.
Interestingly, the changelog for the new update includes certain points such as optimizations for touch and power consumption that were also present in the previous update.
The two major additions in the currently rolling out build include H.265 HEVC codec to record videos and auto ultra-wide-angle lens feature when shooting at close range.
Another interesting feature is the addition of Epic Games Store in Game Space for the Indian units. In fact, all the currently supported OnePlus devices received it in their recent updates.
Perhaps, it is something to do with partnership, which recently brought 90fps mode in Fortnite Mobile exclusively on the OnePlus 8 series.
