OnePlus launched the OnePlus 6, and OnePlus 6T flagship devices in 2018 with Android 8.1 Ore and 9 Pie respectively. The handsets, which later got the Android 10, are receiving a new update from yesterday. The OxygenOS 10.3.7 update brings the latest security patch, Game Space features, and more.
The details of the new OxygenOS 10.3.7 update for OnePlus 6/6T have been posted on OnePlus’ official forums(via XDA). Accordingly, the update, which weighs about 224MB in size, brings the latest November 2020 security patch. That said, the update also brings fixes to notifications, screenshots, and features to Game Space. Precisely, you get new gaming tools in Fnatic mode, a quick reply feature, and more. You can take a look at the entire changelog below:
- System
- Newly added “Hide silent notifications in status bar” feature to filter unimportant notifications, making the app notification management easier( Route: Settings>Apps & Notifications> Notifications> Advanced> Hide silent notifications in status bar )
- Fixed the small probability issue that Screenshot may fail
- Updated Android Security Patch to 2020.11
- Improved system stability and fixed general bugs
EDITOR’S PICK: OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro get November 2020 security patch update
- Game Space
- Newly added gaming tools box for convenient switches of Fnatic mode. You can now choose three ways of notifications: text-only, heads up, and block, just for your immersive gaming experience
- Newly added quick reply feature in a small window for WhatsApp and INS (Enable it by swiping down from upper right/left corners of the screen in gaming mode)
- Newly added mistouch prevention feature. Enable it, swipe down from the top of the screen, click and the notification bar will pop out.
If we recall, the company rolled out an OxygenOS 10.3.6 update last month. However, it had very few changes, unlike the latest update. Anyway, both the OnePlus 6 and 6T, as mentioned above are flagships from 2018. Hence, it will be interesting to see if they get an Android 11 update sometime in the future although I feel it’s unlikely.
That said, the OTA is a staged rollout, and hence expect it to take a few days before it reaches you. If you are someone who has either of these devices, you can check for OTA notification in Settings->Sytem-> System Updates to update them.
