OnePlus 5T launch event has started, with company executives talking about how the OnePlus community influenced the user experience and UI design. Brian Yoon, the head of the user experience at the company, spoke about how the company decided to keep OxygenOS similar to stock Android for ease of use, battery life, lack of bloatware, and memory optimisation, among other aspects. Yoon says that while Android is a great operating system, but could still use improvements on the front such as reliability, efficiency, speed and user feedback. The company is introducing new features such as Gaming DND, duplicate apps for social media accounts, and OnePlus Reach to make data transfer easier. Yoon also revealed the Android Oreo update will be released for OnePlus 5 in January 2018, and in December 2017 for OnePlus 5T in beta.
Co-founder Carl Pei took the audience through the company's journey, with a great launch but a poor 2015 with OnePlus 2 and OnePlus X. With learnings from the past year, the company focused its energies on creating phones the fans would love, resulting in OnePlus 3, OnePlus 3T and OnePlus 5. Pei said the new 'T' line launched roughly six months after the year's flagship is aimed at providing customers the best product possible at the time.
