Update, May 15, 2020 (01:15 PM ET): OnePlus recently released the newest Open Beta update for the OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro. There are actually quite a few newer features included with the OB 3 update as well as the April 2020 Android security patch.
Check out the official changelog information for this OnePlus 7T/7T Pro update below:
- System

- Fixed known issues and improved system stability

Traditionally, when a company releases a substantial new feature for a device, the firm wants to shout it from the rooftops. That wasn’t the case recently for OnePlus, as the company actually added some new features to the Oxygen OS Beta 3 on the OnePlus 7T without announcing anything in the changelog.
A user on Reddit noticed that the OnePlus 7T actually got the ability to record 960fps slow-motion video in the Open Beta 3 software. Additionally, the update added 4K wide-angle video recording. These two features definitely give the OnePlus 7T a pretty solid boost in terms of video recording functionality, so it seems rather odd that the company wouldn’t include these updates in the changelog released last week.
The only logical reason for OnePlus to avoid announcing these new features is that they’re not quite ready for primetime, and the company intended to make the changes known when they were further along in development.
