Spoiler: Explanations of features and optimizations

• Ambient display 2.0
• Lift up display
  • These two are a new implementation of Ambient display, meant to help stop accidental wakes while pulling the phone out of your pocket. Activation of the screen now requires a “double tap” action. While lift up display does exactly what it says, it turns on the screen to peek at notifications when the device is lifted.
• Sharing functionality for Shot on OnePlus
  • You are now able to share the cool pictures you find in the Shot on OnePlus section in wallpapers
• All new OnePlus Font (Available in English, Chinese, and Japanese only)
  • There is now a Font switcher setup in settings.
• Enhanced launching speed of 3rd-party apps
  • Things are faster now..
