OnePlus rolls out Android Pie update for OnePlus 6

OnePlus is staying true to its word and has begun rolling out its take on Android Pie for the OnePlus 6. OxygenOS 9.0 brings many of the same improvements that’s available in the stock version of the operating system. OnePlus 6 users get the tweaked interface, adaptive battery functionality, and gesture navigation, to name a few. While it should come as a standard, unfortunately, it takes manufacturers many months to update their devices to the latest Android version. As The Verge reports, less than 15 percent of devices are running last year’s Android Oreo. Google has been trying to fix the fragmentation issue through Project Treble, and this might be the reason for the speedy release on the OnePlus 6.

The company has promised to bring Android Pie to a lot of its older devices, including OnePlus 5, 5T, 3, and 3T. So, owners of these older OnePlus devices just need to be patient, we’re sure it’s going to head your way soon.
