To further improve user-experience, OnPlus has promised that OnePlus 5 users will not face any touch latency issue like its OnePlus 3. It has carried out an independent research on different brands and based on the study, OnePlus engineers have apparently found the solution for this nagging glitch.
The company has also confirmed to have made major changes in the Android-based OxygenOS for the OnePlus 5, so that the apps in the phone launch faster and those applications, that device owners rarely use, will be deprioritised and kept from affecting performance.
