OnePlus today started the rollout of OxygenOS Open Beta 17/18 for the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T. The latest beta brings about a number of new features and enhancements along with the May Android Security patch level.

Among the new features, OnePlus is introducing Ambient display 2.0 with the latest OxygenOS beta. To activate the new Ambient display, one needs to “double tap” the screen after taking it out from their pocket. There is also a new Lift up display feature which automatically turns the display on when you pick the phone up so that you can peek at notifications.

A new OnePlus font is also a part of the update, though it is only available in English, Chinese, and Japanese languages for now. OnePlus also notes that third-party apps will now load faster on the latest OxygenOS beta.

Other system apps like Gallery, Recorder, Weather, and File Manager have also received UI improvements.
