OnePlus team has just rolled out the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update with the latest incremental rollout of OxygenOS 3.0.2. The new Marshmallow OxygenOS update brings a host of new features and enhancements over its previous release.
A few key improvements added into this update include the Doze mode for enhanced battery life, improved fingerprint sensor and New OnePlus Camera UI and AF optimisation. Check out the complete list of features ported into this update (courtesy OnePlus forums):

- MaxxAudio and Tuner have been removed. We have integrated with Dirac HD Sound technology for the speaker so you get a great experience without the knobs and dials
