The image quality for Nightscape has also been boosted. So, the phone should not take even better photos in low light, when you decided to utilize the Nightscape feature.
In some cases, photos did not display in the OnePlus Gallery, and OnePlus has now fixed the issue. The problem in which the WiFi connection failed in a specific situation has also been fixed, while the stability of communication features has also been improved.
