Updated OnePlus Shelf & OnePlus Scout: The handy Shelf has been enhanced with even more widgets: from notes, step counting, weather, to the calculator, according to XDA Developers.Private Safe: This feature isolates sensitive files to a secured part of your phone, where you can safely store and protect specific photos, videos, audios, and documents.

If you’ve been playing with the developer preview of Android 12 on the OnePlus 9 series, you’ll be happy to know these features have made it into the open beta of OxygenOS 12:

In addition to its new look, OxgyenOS 12 also learned some new tricks to improve your experience with OnePlus phones. OxygenOS 12 offers three levels of Dark Mode to give you more control over your phone’s UI. Just like ColorOS 12, the OnePlus software is enhanced with more shadows and subtle gradients to give OxygenOS 12 a more premium look. OxygenOS 12 also follows the Material You aesthetic, where the new icons use simple lines, and new widgets use shapes to make information and actions more clear and accessible to a diverse group of users. All three OSes make liberal use of white space, as well as large sans-serif typography to “enhance readability and ease of use.” OxygenOS 12 shares some of the same design languages as ColorOS 12 and Android 12 by extension. The new and improved OxygenOS 12 is colorful and minimalist like “ James Turrell’s Light and Space artwork,” as explained in its forum post announcing this release.
