The OnePlus 8T may be getting a lot of attention lately because it's OnePlus's latest piece of smartphone kit, but the company is now showing some love to the OnePlus 8 series that launched earlier this year.

The OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro are receiving an update to OxygenOS 11.0.1.1. This update includes the October 2020 Android security patches, optimizes the phones' adaptive brightness algorithm, and optimizes their Wi-Fi connection for improved connectivity.

One of the big features of this new update is a Canvas feature for the always-on display that'll automatically draw a wireframe picture based on your phone's lock screen photo. After updating, just go to Settings > "Customization" > "Wallpaper" > "Canvas" > "Choose photo preview" to get a fun new look for your always-on display.

Here's the full changelog for this OxygenOS 11.0.1.1 update:

System

• Optimized the frame stability algorithm to make the experience smoother
• Optimized adaptive brightness algorithm, making 8,192 levels of automatic brightness adjustment more comfortable
• Optimized background process management mechanism to improve standby-by performance

• Improved system stability

Ambient display

This update is rolling out in incrementally, so not everyone with a OnePlus 8 or 8 Pro will get it right now. After it's hit a small number of users and OnePlus has confirmed that everything is working as it should, a wider rollout will commence.
