You should also notice improved accuracy and fewer drops in GPS connection. Included in the update is night mode optimisations with default sunrise time, fixes for auto night mode and also for the night mode causing issues with sRGB.

You will no longer face system reboot issues when setting the wallpaper. The update prevents occasional launcher crash and removes extraneous wallpaper entry.

Those who are already having an open beta running on their OnePlus 3T or 3, will receive the new build as an over-the-air update. Also remember once you install the beta build, you will continue to receive open beta OTAs, and wll no longer receive the official OTA update.

When you are migrating from the official update to beta build, you will need to perform a full installation and clean flash, which includes full wipe of all data and cache.
