In addition to the fresh OxygenOS update, OnePlus is said to be in plans to release a new software version to enhance the dual camera setup on the OnePlus 5T. TrustedReviews reports that a OnePlus spokesperson confirmed the development in a statement. "We have seen some of the reviews that mention our OnePlus 5T camera could be performing better and offering a few areas of improvement," the spokesperson stated.

The update is reported to bring improvements to low-light photography and selfie shots on the OnePlus 5T, in addition to making the beautification mode optional.
