OnePlus has released OxygenOS Open Beta 5 for the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. The new public beta build comes a little over a month after the previous build. The latest update brings more fixes, updated security patch, a new feature, and an animation effect.
The latest Open Beta for OnePlus 8 series bumps up the security patch level to December 2020. It also adds a new feature called ‘Rewind Recording’, which allows users to record the last 30 seconds of gameplay. That’s not all, the update also adds an animation effect that activates while switching to the front-facing camera.
Further, the build brings fixes for delayed messages, volume adjustment, speaker not working, and freezing of the phone while playing music via Bluetooth. Additionally, it also optimizes the startup speed of some applications.
