OnePlus rolls out OxygenOS Open Beta 4 to OnePlus 7 series, adds a new gesture, weather channel, and more

OnePlus is now rolling out the OxygenOS Open Beta 4 to OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro smartphones. This new update comes almost two weeks after the Open Beta 3 update which introduced useful new features like improved Zen Mode, Work-Life balance.

OnePlus’s latest OxygenOS Open Beta 4 brings a ton of new features too, and the most interesting one that you’d find in this update is the new gesture “Raise to lower the ringtone.” As the name suggests, when enabled, this new feature can detect when you pick up your phone to answer a call, raising your OnePlus 7/7 Pro to answer a phone call will automatically lower the ringtone.
