OnePlus says the update will take time as it comes with many new features. It also added that the AOD feature is still under testing in the open beta builds, so expect another update to bring the feature. As usual, the OTA will have a staged rollout – a limited number of users will get it today before a broader rollout once there are no critical bugs.
OnePlus is yet to release the update for the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro.
