OnePlus 6 HydrogenOS 5.1.6 Update Adds Bokeh Selfie (Selfie Portrait Mode)

OnePlus 6 might be a great phone when it comes to performance. However, the bugs in the software and the missing features reflect that the company was in a hurry concerning the OnePlus 6 release. But unlike other Chinese phone manufacturers, OnePlus 6 appears to be quickly resolving one of the down points of OnePlus 6 by providing frequent fixes to the OS. The latest update to date is the OnePlus 6 HydrogenOS 5.1.6 which was received yesterday by smartphones across China.

HydrogenOS 5.1.6 – What’s New?

HydrogenOS 5.1.6 is a major update for OnePlus 6 sized 212MB. It brings some major additions and fixes to the system such as:

1. The battery percentage icon is now showing in the status bar
2. Self-timed Bokeh (Selfie Portrait Mode) added to the front camera
3. Game Optimization
4. New Dual-SIM 4G network switches are added to increase the volume of ringing tones
5. Automatically answer the calls when the Bluetooth headset is connected
6. Sets the automatic switching settings of the hand-off mode

Indeed, the most exciting feature added is the selfie Bokeh effect also known as Selfie Portrait Mode. Similar to the rear camera, the front camera can now add the blurring effect in the background and sharpens the portrait.

Hopefully, the OnePlus 6 HydrogenOS 5.1.6 update will reduce the number of complaints regarding the flagship software. There are some minors fixes left which will be fixed in the next update.
