With the arrival of Android 12, the various brands are preparing to launch updates to their respective layers of customization . Some work faster than others. This is the case of OnePlus , whose new version of its software is in beta and certain devices have already been able to enjoy it.
OxygenOS is for many users the layer that is best optimized for the Google Operating System. For this reason the expectations regarding OxygenOS 12 are quite high. Thanks to its beta we have been able to check what are some of the news that will reach the phones of the Chinese brand.
Personalization by flag
The various additions that the new version of OxygenOS brings provide a fully customizable user experience in various aspects. Thus, the beta is available for the most powerful devices of the firm: the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro.
Design with minor changes
As usual, the new versions bring changes in the design. For several years and even as it has been seen today in layers of other companies, there is a trend towards minimalism .
In the case of OxygenOS it seems that they have put this feature aside, since the new icons have lights, shadows and reliefs that provide a 3D appearance. The firm has called this novelty pneumorphism .
Three types of Night Mode
This power is typical of OPPO mobiles , but now OnePlus will implement it on its smartphones. Not only can we choose between dark or normal mode, but there will be three eligible options.
Light, dark or intermediate night mode. The variation does not seem significant at first glance, but our eyes and the battery of the phone will notice it.
A renewed shelf
The Shelf is a control panel full of information that you will find by swiping to the right on the home screen. This now contains many more customization tools to adjust it to our needs and tastes.
The new update gives you the ability to move or group the different elements as you want. The step counter that we already saw in the previous version will have more information about health.
Improved notes app
The Notes application that we can find in the vast majority, if not all devices, includes new options to increase productivity through tools that allow adding notes taken by hand or classifying through bullet points in a cleaner and more organized way.
Avoid distractions
OxygenOS 12 brings a novelty that will surely be used by a large number of users. It is a mode that allows you to configure notifications, applications or other aspects based on whether we use them for work or leisure .
This is one way to avoid any kind of distraction . This functionality that receives the name of Work Life Balance is a feature that was already used in the terminals launched in India and that will reach the rest of the countries with this version.
