After testing for few months, OnePlus has finally pushed the Oxygen OS 11 Aka Android 11 update for the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T. OnePlus started the open beta for these devices back in early July 2021. They also pushed their second and third open-beta updates at a later stage. Back on August 9th, they delivered the third beta. Within two days, they are now pushing the stable update for the OnePlus 6 series. The significant change lies in the shift in the user interface from Oxygen OS 10.
The brand has informed us that the OTA will be pushed in a staged manner. Only a few users will receive the new update today. It will be pushed to a more significant number of people once the feedback comes. They have also clarified that the rollout is not based on region but pushing to random smartphones. What the brand meant by that is, using VPN may or may not fetch updates for you. But don’t worry, we will be including the download links for both the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T. For now, let us have a look at the changelog of the new update.
