The new OxygenOS Open Beta versions for the OnePlus 3, OnePlus 3T, OnePlus 5, and OnePlus 5T come with Launcher version 2.3. The updated Launcher has new drawer categories that emerge when the search icon is tapped. Also, the Launcher includes auto-folder tagging, notification dot optimisations, and improved launcher usage tips. There is additionally a dynamic Clock app icon that changes the hour, minute, and second hands in a real time, similar to what has available on Apple's iOS and Xiaomi's MIUI.
Despite some of the new features and advancements, the new OxygenOS Open Beta versions are still meant for testing purposes as they include some known issues as well as various hidden bugs. As per OnePlus' official records, the newest Open Beta builds have some conflicts with third-party camera apps. The company also explicitly warns users that the new builds are not as stable as the official OTAs generally are. Therefore, you should proceed only if you are ready to accept the potential risks just for sake of testing the new features.
