OnePlus 3T gets Airtel VoLTE support in India with new OxygenOS update

OnePlus has been pretty consistent with sending regular software updates to its phone and it has almost become a weekly affair now. Not only the latest flagships OnePlus 5 and 5T, the older devices are paid attention to as well. We say so as OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T owners have started receiving a new OxygenOS update. Carrying the build number 5.0.1, the update adds a couple of new features.

In addition, the OxygenOS 5.0.1 brings in general bug fixes and stability improvements. Also included in the update is the Android Security patch up to December. The full update is pretty large, weighing at 1.47GB. However, you only need to download a tenth of that if your device runs on OxygenOS 5.0.0. OnePlus 3 and 3T users should get a notification once the update arrives on their phone.

They can also check for the update manually by heading to their phone's Settings>About Phone>System Updates. Talking about the changes, the latest update adds support for the aptX HD standard, which can transmit superior quality audio at up to 48 kHz sampling rates and resolutions up to 24 bits. Besides this, a Wi-Fi hotspot device manager and an adaptive mode for screen calibration ("Soft" screen calibration) have been added as well.

The OxygenOS 5.0.1 has brought in another feature that is exclusive to the OnePlus 3T. The smartphone has got support for Airtel VoLTE in India.
