The update is still based on Android 8.1 Oreo just like the previous open beta updates for the 5 and 5T. The update doesn't bring the March security patches, though.

The biggest changes here are the improved location accuracy for the weather app as well as a new "network boost" in Gaming Mode. The former can be thought of as a bug fix while the latter may be a useful feature if you're a heavy mobile online gamer. The new network boost feature restricts network access from other apps when gaming mode is turned on. For those of you just getting into PUBG Mobile, maybe this will help ensure your connection is stable while you shoot at bots other mobile players users on emulators with keyboard and mouse.
