Oxygen OS 11 interface will be revamped as well, Lau describes it as “asymmetric design, layout grid,” saying it will be “magazine-like”. Dark Mode will also be polished with inspiration from Dutch design student Leandroo Li Anzhu. According to him, dark mode should be about more than setting the background to black, instead it should have layers.
The new version of the OS (based on Android 11). This should be available for all models from the OnePlus 6 and later. However, the company is keeping silent on whether the Always On Display feature will be exclusive to new models.
In addition, this time also supports convenient functions such as timed automatic switching and one-key quick start.In this dark mode, OnePlus allow visually impaired users to enjoy the care and warmth from technology.
