Following the latest OnePlus 3 and 3T Open Beta update, which brought the newest Launcher v2.3 and the face unlock feature, the flagship phones are now receiving a similar update. The OnePlus 5T and 5 can now be updated to OxygenOS Open Beta 2 and 4 respectively. These are some of the most important updates by far as they feature the latest OnePlus Launcher 2.3 and the Face Unlock functionality for all. OnePlus 3 and 3T received the Face Unlock feature in the last Open Beta 30/21 firmware build.

The OnePlus 5 gets Open Beta 4 and the OnePlus 5T is being updated to Beta 2 builds. Both the builds also bring the January 2018 Security Patch and based on Android 8.0 Oreo OS. Apart from the new launcher, face unlock feature, and the latest Android Security Patch, the update brings several improvements to system. This includes optimizations for high power consumption by apps, intelligent background app management system, improved power consumption, and several bug fixes.
