New OnePlus 3/3T update brings improvements to Gallery, Switch app, more

While OnePlus 5 and 5T have already received Android 8.1 Oreo via an open beta update, the other two smartphones launched by the Chinese company, OnePlus 3 and 3T got updates the add a handful of improvements, but not so many new features.

The Gallery gained the highest number of improvements such a new design for Collections tab, a reorder function for Collections and recently deleted Collection.

OnePlus Switch, the app that allows users to switch to newer devices easier, now features support to migrate application data. The new option that wasn't initially available will surely make the whole switching process much smoother.

But there's also a new auto pick up gesture that should allow OnePlus 3 and 3T users to answer an incoming call by raising the phone. It the same gesture that's been added to the other, newer OnePlus smartphones.

Finally, the open beta update contains the February security patch and some general bug fixes and improvements. The open beta update is delivered OTA (over the air) to all those who already have an OxygenOS beta build installed on their smartphones.
