Having said that, what’s worth noting is that this OxygenOS 5.1.0 update also brings in full-screen navigation support for the OnePlus 5T. Something that was introduced with OxygenOS Open Beta 3 update back in January.
Here’s the entire changelog of OxygenOS 5.1.0 update for OnePlus 5 and 5T:
The update is 766 MB in size, and as always, is rolling out incrementally over-the-air, hence, only a small percentage of users will receive it initially, with wider roll-out commencing soon. However, if you cannot wait to upgrade your 5/5T with this update, you can check for it manually by heading over to the Settings > System updates menu.
