OxygenOS 11 based on users' feedback
As per a post by OnePlus Forum, the company takes Stock Android into consideration and suggests that the overall user experience can be improved by taking users' feedback and introducing features that suit them best.
OnePlus aimed to use the white space on the screen and make the UI easy-to-use. For this, it conducted A/B testing with users to come up with the best size for the headline. While 65% of users preferred smaller headlines, 80% of users liked titles with subtitles. Taking this into consideration, OnePlus introduced the new headline-body hierarchy in OxygenOS 11 for a streamlined usage.
Similarly, OnePlus took feedback regarding the Contacts UI basis which it changed the line tab navigation to bottom navigation. This will now help users go for other menus in the Contacts app with just a glimpse at the icons.
