OxygenOS Open Beta 10 is now rolling out for the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro with plenty of improvements, a couple of new features, and the May 2021 security patch.
The OxygenOS Open Beta 10 update was confirmed as rolling out for the 8 and 8 Pro over on the official OnePlus Forums, with the headline addition being that of Bitmoji to the Always-on display feature. It lets you add a personalized Bitmoji avatar that will change position, pose, and facial expression depending on the time, date, and weather conditions. It does require the Bitmoji app to be installed on your device and a registered account for the option to work within device Settings. In all likelihood, most people simply won’t bother with the option we’re sure.
Alongside the Bitmoji AOD option, there are plenty of fixes and stability improvements for many core areas of OxygenOS — specifically the Phone app, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi connectivity. OxygenOS Open Beta 10 also adds the May 2021 security patch and improves the 4K 60fps video recording quality on top. You can check out the full changelog below:
