If you know the settings and features of OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro, you might know some of them. But if you ask me, why take a chance and miss a few, right?
So here we are with the best tips and tricks for the OnePlus 7T.
One of the latest features of the OnePlus 7T is Chromatic Playback Mode. Unlike the conventional reading mode which paints the entire screen in a monochromatic hue, this one slightly desaturates the screen. This means the colors are still there, but they aren't punchy and easy on the eyes.
Naturally, this makes it easy to read. You can use this mode when reading articles or e-books or browsing articles on Chrome.
To enable this reading mode, open Quick Settings, tap Reading Mode and choose Chromatic Mode.
However, if you want chromatic mode to be the default reading mode, you must define a rule. To do this, long press the reading mode icon to access the settings. Now tap on Enable Reading Mode option and choose Enable Chroma Effect.
At the same time, you can also add apps to this list through the option at the bottom.
Another new change in the OnePlus 7T is that all customization shortcuts now appear on a single page. This means you don't have to wade through the Settings page if you want to make lots of changes to the accent color, icon shapes, or fingerprint animation style.
All of these can be found under Settings> Personalization. So all you have to do is tap on the appropriate option and make the changes.
Pro Tip :Want the system to take care of all the color and wallpaper requirements? Simple, tap Predefined Themes and choose one from the list. Swiping up from the left corner of your screen to access recent apps is so old school. Or at least that's what OnePlus wants us to believe. Yes, your new phone now comes with a new set of navigation gestures.
So now, instead of swiping up from the bottom right of your screen, you can just swipe in from the bottom right/left edge of the screen.
The same goes for recent apps – swipe up from the bottom edge and pause. Hello, Android 10!
To make these changes, go to Settings> Buttons &gestures> Navigation bar &gestures and toggle the switch for Navigation gestures.
At the same time, turn on the switch to "Hide Bottom Bar" to make full use of this amazing screen real estate.
Cool tip :Swipe inward from the bottom corner to summon the Google.With the OnePlus 7T, you get an exceptionally smooth 90Hz display, and it's a joy to use. However, if you're looking for a day or more of battery life, you might want to drop it to the usual 60Hz refresh rate (and back out whenever you want).
I know, the 90Hz screen is one of the main reasons you bought this phone, but the battery is also important.
To make this change, go to Settings> Display> Screen Refresh Rate and switch to 60Hz.
As the name suggests, the OnePlus 7T's Video Enhancer makes videos look rich and lively. And the best part is that you don't have to turn it on manually every time you plan to watch a movie or a short film. It triggers automatically as soon as it determines a video playing on apps such as Netflix, Amazon Prime or YouTube.
To enable it, go to display settings and simply turn on the switch.
With the OnePlus 7T, you get a new Smart Ambient Display. This displays information based on times, locations and events. Other than that, you can also choose to see your calendar events or the music playing on your phone. Cool, right?
To turn it on, go to Ambient Display settings and toggle the switch for Smart Display.
Did you know :Can you trigger quick search in app drawer via home screen settings? Another new change is the introduction of Game Space. OnePlus removed its Game Mode from the hard-to-find Utilities section and converted it into a standalone app.
And, it has links to all the games on your phone. So yeah, you don't have to go through the whole app drawer to search for Mario Kart or PUBG anymore.
Another advantage of Game Space is that it also displays the time you spend playing. This is especially useful for people who want to monitor their game time or overall smartphone usage.
In addition, you will find other features associated with the game such as graphics optimization, the popular Fnatic mode, settings to manage notifications, among others.
Spam has become the norm these days. If you are not registered with DND, chances are your inbox is full of spam. The solution? Use the Block by keywords option.
As the name suggests, you can add multiple keywords and selectively make your inbox clean.
To add these keywords, open OnePlus Messages and click on the three-dot menu in the upper right corner. Select Setting> Block setting> Block by keywords.
With the new OnePlus 7T, you can play around with Zen Mode settings. Unlike its old version which locked the phone for 20 minutes, now you can set the time in advance.
For now, the phone allows you to choose between 20 minutes and 60 minutes.
And the best thing is that you can make the changes right from the home screen. Just tap the time at the bottom and choose the one that suits your needs. Now, put your phone aside and enter your zen.
So here are some of the coolest tips and tricks associated with the new OnePlus 7T. Besides the above, you can also check out the new Android 10 permission settings. Whenever you install a new app, OnePlus will present you with a streamlined permissions popup through which you can set finer control.
