OnePlus reveals list of features it’s considering for future OxygenOS releases

Horizon light customisation, ultra-wide camera video recording support, charging sound effect and more.


The OnePlus 7 Pro is the fastest Android smartphone currently in the market with an impressive display. However, the camera wasn’t the best considering the hardware or lenses it was packing. Although the camera wasn’t terrible, it couldn’t match up with its competitors in the same and even lower price segment.


OnePlus did acknowledge it and released updates that managed to improve the quality but it could get much better. Naturally, the company has been receiving a lot of feedback about improvements that it could integrate into OxygenOS.

OnePlus has now made the feedback public about the features that it’s already working or planning to bring into OxygenOS in the future. All the feedback was posted on its forum.
