The OnePlus 5 series is nearing its end of life. Actually, it has already received its last major OS upgrade in form of Android 10 last quarter. However, that update had some serious bugs which OnePlus is yet to fix with an update. An official statement was released a few days ago explaining the reason for the delay.
According to the statement which was published on the OnePlus Forums, a serious bug related to the communication module was found in the update that was to be released. The bug is said to have a serious impact on user experience and solving it has resulted in a series of back and forth with communication carriers.
While the statement also included an apology for not communicating to users the situation, it did not say when the update will eventually be made available to users as the bug is yet to be fixed. OnePlus says they will share progress henceforth and also announce when they have a release plan.
The original Android 10 update broke a number of features including Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS). Some OnePlus 5/5T users have requested that OnePlus make it up to them by releasing OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11 for them but we do not see that happening.
