This holiday season is turning out to be a pretty good one for OnePlus 5 owners.

OnePlus announced today that it's now pushing the first official Android Oreo update for the OnePlus 5. This update includes a bump to Android 8.0 as well as a new Camera UI design, Wi-Fi optimizations, the December 2017 security optimizations, and more.

Here's the official changelog for the OnePlus 5's Oreo update:

Updated to Android O (8.0)
Launcher

  • Optimizations for Shelf
  • Now you can upload your photo through Shot on OnePlus

Camera

  • New Camera UI design
  • Optimizations for photo quality

This update is now rolling out over the air. As with other OnePlus updates, though, it's an incremental rollout. That means that a small number of OnePlus 5 users will get it today, with more getting it in a few days.

That's not the only good news that OnePlus 5 owners are getting today. OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei has confirmed that the Face Unlock feature found on the OnePlus 5T is coming to the OnePlus 5. No timing for that update has been announced.
