• Increases system stability and performance.
• It extends battery life in some scenarios.

In keeping with OnePlus’ gradual approach, the over-the-air (OTA) update will initially reach a limited user base, with a wider rollout expected in the coming days.

In related news, OnePlus is gearing up for the global launch of its flagship smartphone OnePlus 12 on January 23. But that’s not all, as the brand will also launch the OnePlus 12R, which is a rebranded version of the recently launched OnePlus Ace 3 and the OnePlus Buds 3 that was recently launched in China. Expectations are high for the OnePlus 12 as we have seen it perform quite well in gaming scenarios (for a non-gaming smartphone).

OnePlus 12 will also include hardware and software from Pixelworks to enhance the gaming experience. For those interested in camera capabilities, we’ve done an in-depth analysis of the OnePlus 12’s camera system, including a head-to-head comparison with the Realme GT5 Pro. Wait for the official presentation.
