OnePlus is probably the fastest Android OEM when it comes to updating their devices. The company had Android 9 Pie running on the OnePlus 6 way before most other manufacturers even started beta testing Android Pie on their devices. OnePlus has now released an update for the OnePlus 5 and the OnePlus 5T via the Oxygen OS Open Beta 25 and Open Beta 23 respectively.

The new update brings along a ton of fixes and improvements for things such as the brightness control, color adaptation for the navigation bar in third-party apps, improved call history UI, and much more. There’s even more great news for OnePlus 5/5T users in India since the update brings along the caller identification feature as well for India.
