In a much-awaited development, OnePlus has unveiled a near-stable version of its OnePlus stock dialer for devices running OxygenOS 13 and 13.1. This release brings relief to OnePlus smartphone users who have been struggling with the Google stock dialer and the frustrating pre-call recording announcement. Although not tested on OxygenOS 12 due to the unavailability of a device running that operating system, the new OnePlus dialer promises better functionality and a better user experience.

During testing, incoming call delay issues that occurred in the previous OnePlus Dialer version were resolved. The new dialer also allows call recording without any pre-announcement, contributing to a streamlined calling experience. There is an option to manually record calls, and users can customize various settings like auto-answer, power button call termination, and haptic feedback when connected to an external Bluetooth device.
Incoming calls are displayed instantly without any delay, and call recording notifications appear in a non-intrusive manner. Users can access their call recordings through the dialer’s interface, providing easy playback options. Additionally, when the device is held to the ear during a call, the audio automatically switches to the earpiece.
While messaging app integration was not functional on OxygenOS 13.1, the OnePlus stock dialer proves to be a reliable and feature-rich option for OnePlus users looking for enhanced calling capabilities.
For those who have difficulty finding the call recording option, a simple adjustment is required. By changing the region to India in the device settings (Settings > About > Additional settings > Language & region) and clearing the cache and data of the stock dialer, users will regain access to the call recording functionality.
As soon as users switch to the OnePlus stock dialer, it is necessary to follow the given installation instructions to avoid any possible issues. For further clarification or inquiries, users are encouraged to watch the video guide or leave comments for assistance.
