OnePlus 5 was launched last month and since then the Chinese company has rolled out a number of updates to this flagship product. A recent report shows that OnePlus 5 will soon receive a major update. This update will come as software version OxygenOS 4.6.

French publication Frandroid has reported, citing anonymous sources familiar with OnePlus’ update roadmap, that OnePlus has started works on OxygenOS 4.6 for OnePlus 5. This update will bring changes to the battery capacity of the flagship prodyct. This will be done by bringing in changes in the OS part that manages the communication between various phone components, better known as the kernel.

When Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) technology is inserted into the phone’s kernel, the battery life is enhanced. EAS is found in Pixel and Pixel XL phones.

Once OnePlus 5 gets the EAS technology, it will be able to better manage the cores of the Snapdragon 835 processor and will distribute each task more efficiently. The last update received by OnePlus 5 brought fixes for the “911 reboot” issue and arrived as OxygenOS 4.5.6.
