OnePlus has started rolling out a new software update today for the OnePlus Open, which brings the March 2024 patch. This update is specifically for the OnePlus foldable phone and focuses on making the camera better. Although it doesn’t have the latest security patch for April, it does have one from March 2024 to keep the phones safe.
According to the information, the March 2024 update brings improvements to the camera of OnePlus Open. Although the update has already been released for the OnePlus 11 and OnePlus 12, there is no update yet on whether the new patch will also improve the camera performance of the OnePlus 12R.
Those who have a OnePlus Open can now more easily switch between different focal lengths by tapping the zoom button. Plus, you can now use the zoom wheel to switch between different zoom options while taking a video.
But wait, there is more good news for those who are fond of taking group photos. You can now use the ultra-wide and telephoto cameras in XPAN mode. Apart from camera improvements, the update also brings some other improvements. For more details, see the full changelog below.
