Some users say that the issue was discovered only after OxygenOS 5.1.8 update that arrived in June.
The flickering displays on most OnePlus 6 users will finally go stable, as the next OTA update for OnePlus 6 devices will reportedly fix the issue. The users have been complaining that the device when used outdoors, tends to make the screen flicker under light.
Some users suggested that the issue was discovered only after OxygenOS 5.1.8 update that arrived in June. It was not identified or fixed in the next version 5.1.9.
However, the next OTA update for OnePlus 6 is expected to include an optimisation for the adaptive brightness feature which promises to end the flickering problem.
As reported by News18, and also stated by AndroidPolice, when the OnePlus 6 device is exposed to sunlight, it tends to flicker between two brightness levels. Apparently, the flickering happens only when the device is outside with direct exposure to the sunlight, with the brightness being on a higher side.
