Yes! New OxygenOS betas for OnePlus 5/5T bring front-facing portrait mode
June 24, 2025
If you own aOnePlus 5orOnePlus 5T, you already have portrait mode capabilities using the dual-lens rear camera setup. However, when you switch to the single front-facing camera, you can’t use portrait mode features.
If the lack of portrait mode for the front-facing camera irks you, we have good news:the latest open beta builds of OxygenOS(OB17 for the OP5 and OB15 for the OP5T) bringbokeh effectsto the selfie-shooter.
Since there is only one camera lens on the front of the OnePlus 5 and 5T, we can only imagine that the bokeh effect from that one lens will be less effective than from the dual rear cameras. However, having the option to create bokeh-style portraits using the selfie camera is a very welcome feature, even if it doesn’t look as nice.
There are many other updates to the OP5 and OP5T with the latest beta builds, check the changelog below:
Gaming mode 3.0
OnePlus Weather App
OnePlus Note App
OnePlus Switch App
As with most beta software,OxygenOSfeatures that appear in beta builds usually make their way to stable builds of the software eventually. Considering that OnePlus promised updates toAndroid 9.0 Piefor the OnePlus 5, 5T, 3T, and 3, it’s likely that we’ll see the features listed above (plus the ones fromprevious betas) integrated into stable Oreo builds before the end of the year.
