Here’s everything that OnePlus says is included with this update:

This is an incremental update, meaning that it’ll hit a small number of OnePlus 5 devices today and then expand to more in a few days.

OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei has some more good news for OnePlus 5 owners. Pei revealed today that the Face Unlock feature found on the OnePlus 5T will be coming to the OnePlus 5 “due to popular demand.” There’s no word on when this feature will be coming, but at least OP5 owners now know that it’s happening.
