OnePlus has rolled out a new OxygenOS 11 Beta update based on Android 11 for the OnePlus 8 series. The new update not only brings fixes and optimizations but also comes with a cool feature we can’t wait to arrive for those of us missing out on trying out OxygenOS 11 beta.
The new feature is called “Canvas” and what it does is to draw a wireframe image of your lockscreen wallpaper for use as an Always-On Display photo. It is actually a pretty neat feature and should work best with images of people and pets.
You can access Canvas by going to Settings > Customizations > Wallpaper > Canvas. You can also see a photo preview under the menu.
The fixes and optimizations are listed in the changelog below:
System
- Optimized some UI display in Settings.
- Fixed the low probability issue that widgets did not respond.
- Fixed the failure to wake up Google Assistant in some cases.
- Fixed the issue that the HD icon on the call log interface was not centered.
- Fixed the black screen issue when the user entered “Tips & Support” interface.
- Improved system stability.
Clock
- Fixed the issue that numbers disappeared in Timer under some special circumstances.
Ambient display
- Newly added Canvas feature that can automatically draw a wireframe picture based on a lock screen photo on your phone. You can view it anytime without waking up the screen（Path: Settings-Customization-Wallpaper-Canvas-Choose photo preview and it can be generated automatically).
Network
- Optimize the power consumption of the Smart 5G.
The forum post for the release says that users in India who update to the new Open Beta 2 may be missing some functions.
