If you are preparing to buy a phone in the premium segment, it would be hard to hear of someone not mentioning the OnePlus 7T. Just like its predecessors, the OnePlus 7T has got rave reviews from all around the world. Undoubtedly, the phone comes with some very interesting specifications and is loved by consumers. What makes OnePlus 7T a great phone is not only the hardware specs of the device but also the software optimisation which the Chinese manufacturer is so revered for.

There are some hidden tricks inside OxygenOS 10.0, which you can use to make your experience of the OnePlus 7T device even better. Here are some must-know things about the OxygenOS 10.0 based on Android 10.
Tweaking the Display Colour
If you have got your hands on the OnePlus 7T or any other OnePlus device running OxygenOS 10.0, you'll be able to tweak the display appearance according to your needs. On the OnePlus 7T, you will find that the colour profiles on the device have been significantly improved and especially the Vivid colour profile. You can go to the Display settings on the device and tweak these colour profiles to see what feels pleasant to your eyes. The Natural mode is something that will give warmer tones and will be a little pleasing.
Lower the Refresh Rate
The OnePlus 7 Pro was the first OnePlus phone to feature a 90Hz screen and it was followed by the OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro smartphones. Since high refresh rate consumes a lot of battery life, OnePlus allows users to change the refresh rate. By going to the Display Settings, the users of OnePlus 7T will also be able to lower the refresh rate of the device. As fluid the 90Hz display might feel, it is not the best thing for longer battery life. So, on the days when you want to preserve battery, ramping down the refresh rate to 60Hz would be the pragmatic choice.

To access this space, you will have to open the app drawer and then swipe from the left side, and over here, you will be able to see your hidden applications.
OnePlus 7T Has Native In-Built Call Recorder

This will allow the users to experience the latest navigation gestures on their device.
DC Dimming for AMOLED Screens is Useful
The DC Dimming feature is excellent for users who feel tiredness in their eyes after using their phone on low brightness. Instead of the PWM technology which causes a flicker on AMOLED screens to give an illusion of low brightness, the DC Dimming is a much better technology which compromises on colour accuracy for a bit, but actually lowers the brightness of the phone. To toggle DC Dimming, the users will have to navigate to Utilities and then Laboratory to turn on DC Dimming. This feature is not present under Display settings because it causes colour accuracy to take a small dip.
