OnePlus 5 starts getting Android Oreo as OxygenOS 5.0.1 update

Since last week, OnePlus started rolling out Android Oreo update as OxygenOS 5.0 for the OnePlus 5 users. But, the update was soon suspended as users started complaining of some bugs - it is still not clear what was the exact problem. This did disappoint the OnePlus 5 users though.

But now, it's time for the users to rejoice! Yes, OnePlus resumes the Oreo update for OnePlus 5 users, and this time as OxygenOS 5.0.1, as promised by the company.
Back then, when the update was cancelled, OnePlus acknowledged the bugs and stated, "Because of a bug on Oxygen 5.0, we have cancelled its global release. And we're preparing for Oxygen 5.0.1, the partial release will go alive soon." The Oxygen 5.0.1 update is now live for the OnePlus 5 users, and is ongoing batch rollout -- this means that if you are a OnePlus 5 owner and haven't received the update - hold on - as you may receive it soon.
"The build will be continuing to release here shortly. Remember this is a staged roll out, so it will take some time to get out to everyone," notes OnePlus in its blogpost.

Apart from the bug fixes, the new OxygenOS 5.0.1 comes with the same updates and features as the OxygenOS 5.0. OnePlus states "The build is now 5.0.1 and most of the changelog is the same, but we've added a few things to this new version". The two major changes that come with the OxygenOS 5.0.1 update are - bug fixes for third party camera application and fixed network issues for European operators.

Several other features that come with the new update are -- new alarm & calendar features, new Parallel apps feature, new design for Lift up display, and added Adaptive model screen calibration, Wi-Fi optimisations and also a redesigned Battery 🔋 Saver. The update comes along with the December Android security patch.
