OnePlus 7 Pro gets updated to OxygenOS 9.5.7 bringing camera and display improvements

After several years of launching just a single mid-premium flagship model (followed by an upgraded ‘T’ model) annually, OnePlus seemed confident enough to launch a second, premium offering that would have brought it the ranks of the Samsung Galaxy S Series, which is its prime competitor in the premium segment.We recently reviewed the OnePlus 7 Pro and concluded that it was a well-designed smartphone with just one problem, the camera. The selfies looked too soft and lacked any details whatsoever, while the rear camera too was not too impressive when it came to photos or video given the other smartphones (Galaxy S10e, Google Pixel 3 and more) in its class.[caption id="attachment_6631701" align="alignnone" width="1024"]

And now OnePlus is rushing to deliver just that.It delivered its first update in May which was supposed to improve things for the camera, but it did seem to make much of a difference.The OxygenOS 9.5.4 (for India) update is now followed by another update which aims to do the same and has begun rolling out today for OnePlus 7 Pro owners.
