OnePlus has also added a Chromatic effect option for the Reading mode. The new option can adapt color range and saturation to provide a better reading experience to users. You can turn on the option by going to Settings > Display > Reading mode.
In addition to the above new additions, OxygenOS Open Beta 7 also brings optimized RAM management, improved system stability, and a few bug fixes.
