OxygenOS Open Beta 6 for OnePlus 6 Brings Nightscape and Studio Lighting Features

The OnePlus 6 is currently receiving a new Open Beta update which brings features such as Nightscape and Studio Lighting from the OnePlus 6T. At the launch event in India yesterday, OnePlus stated that the OnePlus 6 would receive the new camera features of OnePlus 6T starting today. But it seems like the company is referring to OxygenOS Open Beta update, not the stable update which will be received by every OnePlus 6 user. Notably, the OxygenOS Open Beta 6 update will be available as OTA only for the users who’re currently using the Open Beta 5 on OnePlus 6. Furthermore, the Open Beta 6 update adds new navigation gestures, improved UI for About Phone, November 2018 security patches and better screenshot experience.

OxygenOS Open Beta 6 for OnePlus 6: What’s New?

On its community forum, the Chinese handset maker posted the complete changelog of the Open Beta 6 update. Firstly, the Open Beta 6 update brings new navigation gestures which OnePlus is calling ‘Navigation Gestures 2.0’. These gestures were introduced with the OnePlus 6T on October 29 in New York. Furthermore, the About Phone section looks way better now as the user interface has been overhauled entirely. And OnePlus has already added November 2018 security patches to the OnePlus 6 which even Google did not release to the Pixel smartphones. Notably, the OnePlus 6T received OxygenOS 9.0.4 update earlier today which also added the November 2018 patches.

OnePlus also stated that the update brings improvements to screenshot capturing. Moving onto other features, the OnePlus Launcher receives a new Google quick search box design, and the OnePlus Gallery app has gotten better now.

The two major features added by OnePlus with the OxygenOS Open Beta 6 update are Nightscape and Studio Lighting. These two features were introduced with the OnePlus 6T. For the unaware, Nightscape mode is something very similar to Google’s Night Sight mode as it produces better images in low light. Talking about Studio Lighting, it helps in producing better Portrait shots as opposed to earlier.
