The earlier update of the Oneplus introduced features like slow-motion video recording along with a capacity to hide the notch display. However, the software update took away the one feature from Oneplus 6 and that was ‘Always-on Ambient Display’. Before there was a by default option to turn on the ‘Always-on Ambient Display’ in Oneplus 6. Earlier this week, another vulnerability was found which can potentially let an attacker boot a modified firmware image without unlocking the bootloader. The company then resolved the threat.
This is the first smartphone of the Oneplus which features a ‘notch display’ just like the iPhone X and a glass back. This can prove to be an attractive deal for the price. The Oneplus has already received a number of updates since its launches and it can be considered remarkable. The company has provided several updates for the device. Recently, the company also introduced the camera update for the older device. Along with by default feature for the new device.
