OnePlus has sent a strong message that it isn’t the king of premium smartphones for nothing. The company has exhibited its promptness in releasing updates for its phones and we are impressed. TheOnePlus 7 Pro has just got the August security patch even before the clock hit August 1 in some regions.
It is rare to see this sort of swiftness in the Android phone sector. Even Google releases its updates for the Pixels on the first Monday of each month, before other brands follow. In most cases, it takes several weeks before the security patch for that month is pushed by the OEMs. But that is not the case with OnePlus as it may have just become the first OEM to push the August security patch to its smartphones.

The update is an OTA update (over-the-air) and it ushers in OxygenOS 9.5.11 version. Apart from the important security fixes, it also packs optimizations for Adaptive Brightness, the “sensitiveness of the screen touch while gaming”, as well as accidental touches in the notification bar while in a call (this last one is desperately needed for older OnePlus models as well). Google’s suite of mobile services has been updated to the version from this June, and the “general bug fixes and improvements” also make an appearance.
The rollout will be in batches as only a handful of users have received the update. We expect the rollout to be expanded to more users in the coming days but that is if the version is bug-free.
