OnePlus has a very strong track record of sending out updates in time. The OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro models have already received an Android 10 stable update based on OxygenOS 10. While we would have assumed that the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G would also have been updated to the latest Android 10 version by now, it turns out, users will have to wait for a while before they get the update.
OnePlus Global Community Manager, David Y., just confirmed on the OnePlus Forums earlier this week that the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G Android 10 update will roll out in Q1 2020. Naturally, the news didn’t do well with users, especially because all the recent OnePlus smartphones are running the new Android version. Also, since the 4G OnePlus 7 Pro received the update a few weeks ago, it’s surprising that 5G variant users have to wait for at least a few months more to receive the update.
Well, the additional certification for carriers could be the reason for this delay. David specifically mentioned that the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G EE model will receive the update in the first quarter of next year.
Anyway, given that the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G is one of the premium models from the company, it’s really a shame that users have to wait this long to get Android 10. What makes things worse is the fact that David didn’t mention a specific release schedule. Q1 2019 is a pretty broad period and the update could be rolled out anytime between January 2020 to March 2020.
