Are you running it?

Been running it for about 7 hours now.

No issues to report. No freezes or lags, Very smooth scrolling. DC Dimming seems to be fine in my preliminary tests. No colour issues.

Obviously, too early to comment on battery life but, all-in-all, so far, so good!

I'm going to assume there aren't any TWRP issues with this one. There haven't been any since May but it makes me nervous Everytime lol

No problems with TWRP I am happy to say. I use mauronofrio's TWRP, version 3.3.1-6. He maintains the official TWRP. See... https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-unofficial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3861482

The latest camera version for the OnePlus 6 & 6T is the Open Beta version mentioned, 3.0.43. The versions you mention may not, be fully compatible with those models and have not been released by OnePlus for them.

Any thoughts or comparison vs the Google camera app?

Personally, I actually prefer the stock, fully featured, Open Beta camera version 3.0.43 along with the latest gcam port. I stress however, I am of the, "Happy Snapper", variety.

Thanks Ryano89... again!

Trust me to be stuck in the pub on a slow Wi-Fi connection. Looks like a mobile data download and another pint of lager for me then.

Ditto.

It is 02.30hrs here and 09.30hrs in China. So, bed for me and I will probably wake up to the new update.

Running fine so far. Obviously too early to tell about battery life
