Owners of the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T (remember, there was no OnePlus 4) have hadOxygenOS 5.0 since late November, and select OnePlus 5 owners have beenbeta testing OxygenOS 5.0for the past few months. Forum users had been speculating that the completed build of the latest Android flavor would be showing up on the OnePlus 5 before the end of 2017, but it having landed on Christmas Eve is a welcome surprise.

The proprietary Shelf feature of the Oxygen launcher gets a UI overhaul, and you can now upload your photos directly to theShot on OnePlus collection. Even the calculator gets updated with a new history feature.
The OTA update will hit a small percentage of users initially, with the majority of OnePlus 5 owners getting the update notification on their phones sometime after Christmas Day. If you own a OnePlus 5 and can’t wait that long, forum users have already posted a flashable ZIP file of the update ROM. Using the built-in manual update tool that comes with OxygenOS, performing your own update with a downloaded file is surprisingly easy.
