Oneplus 5 and 5T Finally Receiving Android 8.1 Oreo Update

Oneplus was one of the first companies to state its most recent flagship phone would be getting the Android 8.0 Oreo update. The company has since been testing the Oneplus 5 and 5T with Android 8.1 Oreo through its public beta channels. Now, after only one month of testing, both phones are getting the 8.1 Oreo update.

Only being in testing for one month makes OnePlus one of the fast manufacturers to push out the update. The fact that both phones were already on Android 8.0 Oreo helped with that speed. The jump up to Android 8.1 Oreo includes a host of changes, listed below:

System

  • Updated system to Android[e]2122[/e] 8.1 Oreo[e]2122[/e]
  • Updated Android security patch to 2018-04
  • Added full-screen gesture support( Only 5T)

Gaming mode

  • Added new optimizations in gaming mode including power saving and pausing adaptive brightness
  • Added network boost – network priority for gaming App in the foreground

Launcher

  • Added category tags in the search section of the app drawer
  • Auto name folders based on category

With this update, while some of you may already be able to pull it, it is scheduled to be a rollout. You may have to wait another day or two, but OnePlus has pushed it out. Congrats Oneplus 5 and 5T users!

-
Nokia 7 Plus
UPDATE: HMD Global's Chief Product Officer has confirmed in a tweet that the listing is simply a typo. The device listed should actually be the regular Nokia 6.1, although it's worth pointing out that this smartphone is already present on the list under the Nokia 6 (2018) name.
HMD Global has already confirmed that support for Google ARCore is already available on the Nokia 6.1, Nokia 7 Plus, and Nokia 8 Sirocco, but the official list appears to have revealed a whole new device that's under development.

ARCore is a software development kit (SDK) launched by Google to allow developers to create mixed reality apps. It's similar to Project Tango but that one is already dead. Before 2017 ended, Google pulled the plug on Project Tango and started pushing for ARCore. It's augmented reality for Android devices which was introduced to the mobile industry August last year as a usable AR platform. It's now being integrated into a number of new apps such as Google Street View and Maps.We only know a few ARCore apps. Thereis the Atom Visualizer as the first ARCore app on Google Play. Street View and Maps were integrated with ARCore right away. Since Augmented Reality was given focus by Google and ARCore 1.0 for developers was launched at the MWC 2018, more AR-related good news have been reported including Just A Line becoming an app from just being a simple and regular Google AR Experiment, ARCore coming to the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ phones, and Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S arriving with ARCo…
