If you own any of the two handsets, you'll get the below mentioned features as a part of OxygenOS Open Beta 13 for the OnePlus 5 and Open Beta 11 for the OnePlus 5T.

For those joining us late, Project Treble is Google's latest initiative to get Android phones running more recent software more quickly. OnePlus originally said it was skipping on Treble because it requires a storage partition, and since all OnePlus devices lack the necessary partition, there was a chance they'd brick. Notably, Google had launched the Project Treble program while rolling out Android Oreo a year ago.

Last year OnePlus claimed that the OnePlus 5 and 5T wouldn't be supporting Project Treble, which would inevitably mean there was more work (and more time) needed to update the phones to the upcoming Android P. There's good news, though, because the company seems to have changed its mind.

OnePlus' latest model OnePlus 6 already supports Project Treble, and the China-based company will soon release the stable versions of OxygenOS that would feature the project.
