OnePlus started rolling out Android 9 Pie based OxygenOS 9.0 to the OnePlus 6 earlier this year in September, introducing a bunch of Android Pie features to the device along with new full-screen navigation gestures. The update allowed users to do away with the navigation buttons and make use of the Android Pie navigation gestures or OnePlus’ own navigation gestures.
Once the Google Assistant shortcut is turned on, users will be able to hold the power button for 0.5 seconds to bring up the Google Assistant and hold it for 3 seconds to bring up the power menu. While I personally like the new Google Assistant shortcut, it might seem like an issue to some people who don’t want to deal with the Google Assistant while they’re trying to turn off or restart their device. However, considering the fact that most of us rarely turn off or restart our smartphones, the chances of facing this issue will be cut down to a minimum.
