OnePlus 6 phone and software update
The May OnePlus 6 security patch, which will be available via an over-the-air (OTA) update, has been released a week after the phone’s global launch. The main new features included in the update are an option to capture slow motion videos - 480fps at 720p, and 240fps at 1080p. Users will also get the ability to hide the notch, which means that users will be able to add a black bar at the top, around the notch, which gives the impression that the phone has a bezel.
