This improvement comes via an update to Oxygen OS, which adds support for quite a few new features.<\/p>\n<p>First off, the exFAT file system is supported for the first time. exFAT a more modern alternative to FAT32 that&#8217;s well-supported by both Mac OS X and Windows, so it&#8217;s a nice choice for Micro SD cards that are going into other devices than your phone (and some cards arrive with the format by default).<\/p>\n<p>The update also eliminates the need to reboot every time you insert a Micro SD card, which will no doubt save a lot of time when you&#8217;re swapping between two cards or copying media onto your PC.<\/p>\n<p>Probably the most important new feature is the ability to move apps to the SD card and run them from there. That&#8217;s a critical part of making 16GB phones like the OnePlus X more usable, and will definitely be appreciated by fans of mobile games or other space-heavy apps.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/images.mobilefun.co.uk\/graphics\/240pixelp\/lexar-16gb-micro-sdhc-memory-card-class-10-p48581-240.jpg\" alt=\"Lexar 16GB Micro SDHC Memory Card - Class 10\" \/>Finally, the user interface when dealing with Micro SD cards has also been improved. It&#8217;s clear that OnePlus didn&#8217;t quite grasp the utility that users expected, but the update should go a long way towards making using Micro SD cards with the OnePlus X more intuitive.<\/p>\n<p>The changes are being released now to a limited amount of OnePlus X owners as an OTA (over the air) update. If no show-stopping bugs are found, the update will see a general release over the next couple of days.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to try out the new capabilities of your OnePlus X, you can pick up a Micro SD card here at Mobile Fun.
