With the dawn of OxygenOS 11, OnePlus has blessed the OnePlus 7/7T Series with the Always-on-Display feature. Though the company decided not to include this popular feature in the first Android 11-based Open Beta 1 builds for the OnePlus 7 and 7T, the feature has become a thing in the latest Open Beta 2.
