Always on Display:
The most awaited feature is obviously the Always on Display, which the OnePlus fans demanded, and their wish seems to have come true with the inclusion of this feature in the Oxygen OS 11 OS.

OnePlus has collaborated with Parsons School of Design to create the visually appealing AOD’s.

One-handed UI:
The one handed mode is available for the OnePlus users, and it comes in handy for operating the phone with one hand easily.
Quick Settings:
The quick settings and notifications panel has been revamped and seems to have well liked by the testers who experienced the revamped version.
