OnePlus Open Receives New Update with eSIM Support and Camera Improvements
The OnePlus Open, the company's first-ever foldable phone, has been receiving positive feedback since its launch in global markets last month. The device witnessed record one-day sales in North America and India, showcasing its popularity among consumers. After its initial release, the OnePlus Open received its first update, which brought various enhancements. Now, the brand is rolling out a new update that introduces support for eSIM, along with some additional changes.
New Update Details
The latest update for the OnePlus Open, with the version number CPH2551_13.2.0.116, is being rolled out in phases. Due to the phased rollout, it may take some time for all devices to receive the update. The update has a file size of 301.17MB and is based on Android 13, maintaining compatibility with the latest operating system.
eSIM Functionality Enabled
One of the significant additions in the new update is the enablement of eSIM functionality. Although the OnePlus Open already supported eSIM connectivity, it was not enabled in certain markets like India. With this update, users in these markets can now take advantage of eSIM, which is a digital SIM card that serves as an alternative to physical SIM cards. It is important to note that using eSIM will disable the second physical SIM, but it can be re-enabled by disabling the eSIM. To add the eSIM, users need to have the EID (Embedded SIM Identifier), which can be found by navigating to About Device > Status > EID.
Camera Improvements and System Enhancements
In addition to the eSIM support, the OnePlus Open's telephoto camera receives notable improvements in the latest update. Users can expect increased clarity for photos taken at higher zoom levels, along with better color accuracy and improved tones in Photo and Pro mode. These enhancements aim to enhance the overall photography experience on the OnePlus Open.
Furthermore, the update brings improvements to system stability and performance. Users can expect a smoother and more responsive user interface. Additionally, the update addresses specific issues such as the slow response problem when holding a profile photo in WeChat on the cover screen and the unresponsive behavior of the eraser tool in Photos.
Conclusion
The latest update for the OnePlus Open introduces support for eSIM functionality, enabling users in various markets to utilize this digital SIM card technology. Along with the eSIM support, the update enhances the telephoto camera's performance, providing increased clarity and improved color accuracy for photos. Additionally, the update improves system stability and addresses specific issues, ensuring a smoother user experience. As the update rolls out in phases, OnePlus Open users can look forward to enjoying these enhancements soon.
