[OxygenOS DP3] New OnePlus 7 update brings camera improvements from Pro variant; HydrogenOS Android Q DP3 goes live in China

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on July 18, 2019) follows:

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

Aristotle probably said this, but we are least bothered about the origin. Rather we prefer to highlight the fact you can easily achieve excellence in a domain by doing the right job in a repetitive manner. Well, OnePlus is doing so – at least in terms of software updates.

Earlier today, the Chinese OEM pushed a new set of OTA updates to European and global unlocked variants of OnePlus 7 Pro. The new build, tagged as OxygenOS 9.5.10, is fundamentally identical to the previous 9.5.9 update, albeit there are some additional fixes.

According to OnePlus’ Manu J., the older build was pulled back due to bugs related to double tap to wake. In fact we noticed the pandemic a few days after the release of OxygenOS 9.5.9.

Keeping aside this small hiccup, the update packed tons of fixes and improvements to OnePlus 7 Pro. Here comes the excellence part: even the regular OnePlus 7 has started to receive a large subset of those advancements via a new OTA.

The version number of the new build is 9.5.7 and it is rolling out to both global (GM57AA) and European (GM57BA) OnePlus 7 units. Every single camera oriented improvements made their way from the OnePlus 7 Pro’s 9.5.9/9.5.10 update to this build.

The complete changelog is as follows:

System

– Optimized the sensitivity of automatic brightness

– Optimized the speed and accuracy of GPS when the screen is turned off

– Increased sound enhancement for OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2 (Settings – Sound & vibration – Dolby Atmos – Earphone Adjustment – Earphone Sound Enhancement)

– Support VoLTE/VoWiFi for 3 SE and Telenor SE (EEA Only)

– General bug fixes and improvements

Camera

– Improved the performance of camera mode switching

– Improved experience of auto focusing in some scenes

– Improved the effect of photo-stitching in Panorama mode

– Improved photo quality of 48MP JPG in Pro mode

Despite being rolled out in the middle of July, the security patch level is still June 1, 2019 in this build. Just like OnePlus 7 Pro, this update was compiled on July 12.

We, alongside the Oxygen Updater community, are working hard to capture the full update packages. Our OnePlus series update index and this article will be updated as soon as we get our hands on the relevant update zips.
