OnePlus team has announced the roll-out of the OxygenOS 2.1 update for OnePlus 2 smartphone. The update will be available to users via OTA. It is an incremental update for the device. The team said that the update will reach a small percentage of users first and if everything goes right, then a broader roll-out will start.
As per the announcement, the update includes a lot of bug fixes and improvements. For example, the OnePlus team has added a manual mode for the camera app of the smartphone. They have enabled Raw support for third party camera apps, but the team said that it will take one more update for it to work correctly with supported apps. There is also a colour balance slider in the Display settings. As the name suggests, it will enable users to adjust the colour balance to make the display warmer or cooler as per their preference. Additionally, the team has also fixed a few issues that were persistant with third party apps. One can check the complete changelog of the update from the official announcement post by OnePlus. Customers who own the OnePlus 2 can expect the update to hit their device soon.
