New OxygenOS features include Parallel Apps and OnePlus Switch! Which are you most excited for?

Since the launch of Oxygen OS, Yoon states that users already have a number of favourites in terms of additions. One such feature is the Gaming Do-Not-Disturb (DND) mode which turns of notifications while gaming.

To ensure more prompt updates, OnePlus has included a number of  their basic applications to the Google Play Store just so could users receive updates faster.

Yoon mentions that OnePlus works with more than 15000 Open beta testers across the world in improving Oxygen OS.

So, we set out to refine the experience by focusing on the four key pillars that define OxygenOS as an operating system. These are reliability, efficiency, speed, and user feedback. pic.twitter.com/Jj83L1rFEl

Yoon mentions ‘Android +’ as the motto behind Oxygen OS and how it tries to stay true to a Pure Android. He also emphasises how the experience is based on user experience and not emulating Google’s Stock UI.

Yoon reveals how OnePlus had first begun with Cyanogen mod and has moved on since to add more and more to Oxygen OS.

Brian Yoon, Design Director for the Board of ROM product OnePlus is up next on stage talking about how important user experience has been for OnePlus and the development of Oxygen OS.
