Almost two months ago we wrote that OnePlus is starting the IDEAS program where users can submit suggestions for new features that the company will analyze and implement 5 ideas from the most voted ones. Today, OnePlus has officially revealed the 5 winning ideas that will be taken into development and added to the roadmap.
There were more than 5000 ideas submitted, a clear sign that OnePluas has an active user base that is willing to participate in making OxygenOS better. Out of those, there were a few that stood out and the company will implement them in the near future. Furthermore, those that suggested the winning features will receive prizes from the company.
- Always on Display – development to be finished around June, CBT/OBT coming in Aug/Sep [subject to changes, there are various factors working]
