What is promised is debt. As OnePlus assured some time ago, its current flagship is starting to receive Android 8 before the end of 2017. The company promised to update it before the end of the year and it has been. However, some users have commented on Reddit that Oreo is coming to their devices with a few buts. Apparently the version is a half-made ROM that includes snippets of Android 7.0 Nougat.
The complaints are obvious. The first users who have received the software claim that the settings menu is exactly the same as that of Android 7. Also, the security patch included is the one from September and not the current one. In any case, you have to take all this with a grain of salt. These are opinions that are being exposed in the forum without further information. If you have a OnePlus 5, you already know that Android 8 can make an appearance on your device shortly. The update is coming in a staggered manner, although it is normal that you receive a pop-up message on your terminal advising you of its appearance. You can download it via OTA. That is, you will not need the use of any type of cable to enjoy it.
Android 8 comes to the OnePlus 5
The new update occupies a little more than 1.5 GB, so you will need to have this space at least on your device. In addition, it comes from the hand of Oxygen 5.0, the company's new customization layer. Among some of the benefits that we can cite of Android 8 in the OnePlus 5 is a new smarter notification system. For its part, a new design has also been included for quick adjustments or higher quality for photos. That's not counting more overall performance or better battery optimization.
In addition to the launch of Android 8 for the OnePlus 5, Carl Pei, co-founder of the company, has also delivered good news. In addition to congratulating Christmas, the executive has announced that facial recognition will be available very soon for the device. Although this function was not within their plans, its high demand has caused them to rethink its inclusion. Of course, it has not given dates or more additional data.
