- OxygenOS version 5.1.5 is rolling out now to the OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T.
- Along with the latest security patch, the update brings a new option surrounding PIN unlock.
- If you choose, when you unlock your device with your PIN you will not have to confirm the unlock.
OnePlus is continuing to support its older devices, even though it stops selling them as soon as a new one comes out. The company already confirmed that the OnePlus 5, OnePlus 5T, OnePlus 3, and OnePlus 3T will all receive Android 9.0 Pie, for example.
Starting today, a new OxygenOS update is rolling out to OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T devices around the world. The update brings with it the August 2018 Android security patch as well as a new feature that tweaks how you unlock your phone.
Even if you primarily use your fingerprint to unlock your smartphone, you must also have a fallback PIN or password unlock. You also have to periodically put in this PIN or password as an extra security measure, usually every 72 hours.
Right now, when that happens on a OnePlus 5/5T, you enter in your PIN and then hit a check mark to unlock the device. However, you will now be able to choose to remove the checkmark and just have the phone unlock automatically once you enter the proper PIN.
This seems like a silly thing to bother updating, but anything that cuts down on taps is a welcome change as far as I’m concerned.
The OxygenOS 5.1.5 update is rolling out now to select devices and then will roll out slowly over the next week OTA. At some point, OnePlus will add it to the list of available downloads here so you can update without waiting for the OTA.
