Latest OnePlus 5 and 5T Open Beta brings “oil painting” fix, Google Lens mode
July 18, 2025
While the latest Open Beta firmware doesn’t have a huge amount of exciting new features, OnePlus 5 and 5T users will be glad to hear that it includes fixes for what many have dubbed the “oil painting effect” that adds a washed, softer look to photos. OnePlus had previously included the common complaint in along list of promised fixesearlier this month.
As well as additional “photo clarity,” the main draw of the latest update is the addition of aGoogle Lensmode to OnePlus’ bespoke Camera app. The mode, as you might expect, lets you access Google Lens immediately with just a quick tap of a shortcut within the Camera app.
The addition of Lens — Google’s super-smart visual search feature — shouldn’t come as any surprise as itpreviously showed upin an APK for OnePlus’ default camera in late June. A Lens mode has also been added to the Shenzhen-based OEM’s current flagship, the OnePlus 6, in the latest update launchedearlier today.
The latest Open Beta updates are yet to hit the OnePlus website, but it should arrive in the next few days if you haven’t received an OTA notification. A full official release should follow shortly after.
