OnePlus 3 & 3T gets Oxygen OS 4.1.7 update

While OnePlus has turned most of its focus to the OnePlus 5, it’s good to know they’re at least addressing some issues with the previous generation OnePlus 3 and 3T. The Oxygen OS 4.1.7 brings with it bug fixes and security patches for the two devices. One of the issues it’s fixed is one with the App Locker, which is meant to keep certain apps behind a PIN or password. They have fixed an exploit that bypasses the App Locker. The device doesn’t require Google Hangouts to be installed now either. On the security side, the patch is now updated to August 2017, bringing it up from the May 2017 patch. Other changes coming to the update include unspecified battery optimization as well as a quicker user experience with it. If you use either devices, keep your eyes peeled for the update, it should do you better.

Android O will be the last OS update for OnePlus 3/3T

OnePlus 3T

We have some bad news for OnePlus 3 and 3T owners. The two devices will only get Android O as its last major software update. With the company turning its attention to OnePlus 5, we're not surprised that this is happening. However, if we think about the timeline, it's been relatively short and both will fall short of the standard two-year cycle for software updates. The OnePlus 3 came out just June of last year, while the 3T came out just November of 2016. Technically, this will be the second major update for the OnePlus 3. But it does feel like there could be room for one more. OnePlus does mention that there will be security patch updates coming to the devices in the "foreseeable future" but its Open Beta Program will be moving to the OnePlus 5 once the two devices have been updated to Android O.

OnePlus 3T gets shelved in North America and Europe

Preparing for the release of the OnePlus 5, OnePlus has opted to stop selling the OnePlus 3T eight months after they first announced it. This isn’t the first time OnePlus has been weird about its release cycle. When the OnePlus 3T came out, the OnePlus 3 got discontinued after just being released for a few months. It will still be sold in India and other Asian countries but outside of that region, we’d all have to wait for the OnePlus 5, which is set to come out next week on June 20^th.
