OxygenOS Open Beta 23/14 for the OnePlus 3/3T Now Available With Many UX Improvements

OnePlus is starting September with a treat for its users by releasing a new OxygenOS Open Beta for the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T. There are a number of changes for both devices, as with every beta release.

This update also updated the security patches to August. The rest are largely UX additions such as battery percentage in ambient display, some phone app changes and some gallery app improvements. A "Shot on OnePlus" watermark was added, along with support for adding your own name to the watermark. The default display colour has been tweaked too, to be closer to sRGB!
