Apparently, OnePlus devices on Android 11 will allow users to convert and use wallpapers as AoD. Sounds super cool if you ask me, but it could have some negative impacts on battery life. Hopefully, OnePlus will find a way to strike the balance without any negative impacts.

It’s worth noting that these details are related to the Chinese market and not the global market. But of course, the availability of the OS in China determines how soon the global market will get the nod.
