While most of the Android OEMs provide at most 2 major updates for their devices, OnePlus always has been an exception with its exceptional support for the devices. If we think of a brand that could provide three major updates in the Android world, then there aren’t many, barring Google and OnePlus obviously. As such, OnePlus has started officially pushing the stable Android 10 for the OnePlus 5/5T after bringing it on OnePlus 6/6T and OnePlus 7/7 Pro series.
