Chinese smartphone manufacturer OnePlus has recently launched their Open Beta 4 for their OxygenOS in their upcoming OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro on the latter parts of the last month. And today, they are back at it again with their OxygenOS Open Beta 5 for their OnePlus 8 series of phones.
The latest OxygenOS Open Beta 5 has introduced some new features that would be soon available for the upcoming phones slated in the OnePlus 8 series. Probably one of the main highlights and strengths featured on the beta testing is the inclusion of the newly developed and designed Rewind Recording system feature in the phones' Game Space.
Highlights from the Open Beta 5
This new feature allows the phone users to record the final 30 seconds of game sessions that are being played by the users in real-time action with just one simple tap. It could potentially capture some game-defining moments and highlights quickly without missing the momentum, such as going back to the home screen to select a phone's screen recorder feature or allowing to screen record even before ethe start of the game which could mean that all the happenings in the game even from the very start would be captured, and it would just take more space in the phone itself.
The latest beta testing also fixed some of the bugs which became a thing on the past beta testing last month. Although some of the bugs and errors being experienced were all signifying minor issues and problems, including bugs which froze calls that the users received while playing music and at the same time being connected to a Bluetooth device, and fixed the bugs which that involved delays in message receptions, as well as occasional volume toggles and speaker Failures. The beta testing also boosted the security patch level of the system up until this December 2020.
This may be the final beta testing for the OnePlus 8 series, which lists the OnePlus 8 its alternate variant OnePlus 8 Pro, where both phones are powered by the recently launched Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, and Adreno 650 GPU.
