OnePlus has started rolling out its OxygenOS 9.5.9 update for the OnePlus 7 Pro. The software update brings numerous improvements and new features to the table. The first thing you are likely to notice is the smoother animations throughout the UI. OnePlus has improved the touch sensitivity of the screen too.

A feature that automatically switches between QHD+ and FHD+ resolution depending on the content being displayed on the screen has been optimized too.
The Chinese company has improved the speed and accuracy of GPS even when the screen is turned off. The face unlocks assistive lighting feature now works better in the bad lighting conditions. The update will bring additional sound enhancement settings for the OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2 earphones. It is the camera that has got a significant number of improvements. The algorithms have been tweaked to deliver improved image quality of 48 MP in pro mode. Panorama stitching has improved too.
