Talking about navigation gestures, Kopec said the experience will be more natural and smoother. An example of this will be how the application window will follow the user’s finger when they open an app. A quick flick from the bottom of the display to the right will let them switch between apps, and holding the power button for half a second will fire up Google Assistant.
The interview also confirmed the smartphone will run on the Snapdragon 845 SoC. The company is implementing an AI-based algorithm to “allow the phone to learn when you sleep, so it can minimize background usage and reduce power consumption accordingly.”
OnePlus 6T will come with the next version of OxygenOS onboard when it is unveiled on October 30th in New Delhi and New York. While it has not been confirmed yet, it is likely the build will be based on Android Pie considering the OnePlus’ User Experience Lead Crayon Hseih was cited in the interview as saying the company is putting in place full-screen gestures to allow users to navigate phones – which now sport ever-taller displays thanks to changing aspect ratios – with one hand. To achieve this, OnePlus has “spent a lot of time tweaking every animation. Every swipe was tested over 1000 times to ensure the motion felt natural.”OnePlus 6T will come with the next version of OxygenOS onboard when it is unveiled on October 30th in New Delhi and New York.
