You will see that most of the content of the apps has been placed at the bottom, making it easier for your thumb to reach them. The upper part of the screen is quite empty and contains less information. It looks a lot like Samsung’s OneUI, which is not bad. Some new features and shortcuts have been included in OxygenOS 11, so let’s take a look at some of these features.
Let us tell you, the other phones of OnePlus 8 series have the features mentioned below. OnePlus 8 And OnePlus 8 Pro These features will also be available on smartphones when they are updated to OxygenOS 11. OnePlus 7 And regarding OnePlus 7T, it is believed that this update for these phones will be released in the month of December, while OnePlus 6T, OnePlus 6 and OnePlus Nord smartphones will also receive this update, but at present the update rollout date has not been disclosed. Is.
1. Gaming tools
OnePlus’ Game Space app gets a new icon with OxygenOS 11. Most of its functions are the same as before, but a new option has been included in its settings named ‘Gaming Tool’. After enabling this option, you can overlay the menu in any game by swiping down from the left and right corners of the screen. From this menu you can see the system temperature and battery level and it also has shortcuts to WhatsApp, Instagram etc.
2. Always-on ambient display
OnePlus smartphones have had the ambient display feature for a long time. But after the OxygenOS 11 update, it has added Always-On Ambient Display settings. You… Yourself oneplus 8t Go to smartphone settings, click on display and then enable ambient display. Here you can set how long you want the always-on display to last, and you can also keep it on forever.
3. Dark mode
The Dark Mode option is available in Settings with OxygenOS 11 on OnePlus 8T. You can enable this feature by going to the quick settings panel and using the toggle button. A new shortcut switch has been added for Dark Mode. Which can be set to turn on automatically at a certain time or according to sunset and sunrise.
4. New Zen mode
Zen Mode is a kind of digital detox process, by enabling which you will be able to block all calls and notifications for some time. OnePlus added 5 soothing themes to Zen Mode with the OxygenOS 11 update, longer duration options starting at 1 minute, and a new group feature that allows users to use this Zen Mode together with other OnePlus users. This new feature is already present in OnePlus 8 and that too without OxygenOS 11 update.
5. Focus tracking in Camera app
The OnePlus 8T has a better camera setup, though it may not be that different from the OnePlus 8, but there is one particularly useful new feature you can take advantage of. It also adds a new ‘Focus Tracking’ toggle to the camera app’s settings which, as the name suggests, allows the camera to lock focus on a moving subject. This is a really useful feature that we’ve seen on Samsung and Google smartphones before, so we’re glad OnePlus has now included it as well.
6. Accessing notifications with a swipe
If you’re an existing OnePlus user, you must have accessed the notification shades by swiping down anywhere on the home-screen. A similar gesture comes with the OnePlus 8T Shelf, which is OnePlus’ card-style column where you can access widgets, step counter and recently used apps. If you don’t want to use it, you can easily change this gesture.
Long press on a blank area of the homescreen and select Home Settings. Here you will get the option of ‘Swipe down to access’ on the second number and then you can change it from the shelf in Notifications & Quick Settings. Save this selection and use it.
7. Quick access to Google Home devices
OxygenOS 11 has redesigned the power menu. Instead of giving you buttons with small pop-ups for power, reset and screenshots, you’re given oversized buttons with full-screen menus. If you’ve installed GooGum Home for any smart devices in your home, you can add shortcuts for those devices to this power menu. This is going to be very beneficial here, for example, you will not need to specifically open the Google Home app just to dim or turn off the lights in your house.
