Its been six years since OnePlus runs the OxygenOS customized skin on its flagships. It is one of the best Android operating systems available in the market. Now, the company has decided to integrate with Oppo to provide a smoother experience. Recently, the company also announced a new software update policy via an official community post.
The latest update policy starts with the OnePlus 8 series including the T-series and R models. The lineups are eligible to receive seven years of update support. Out of which, they will receive three major Android OS updates and four years of security updates. The list includes the following devices:
Note: The smartphones released before the OnePlus 8 series will get 2 major Android updates and 3 years of security updates.
In addition, OnePlus decided to provide five years of update support for some devices. This includes the first OnePlus Nord to the newer Nord or Nord CE 2 and OnePlus 7 family. The models will get three years of security updates along with two major Android upgrades.
This update policy will apply to all the OnePlus future flagships as well. Also, the company did not mention the time duration between the two updates. However, it did claim to “improve efficiency and standardize the software experience.”
