OnePlus used to be known for its speedy updates but in the past year, the manufacturer has struggled to update its devices. Following the release of the update for the OnePlus 7/7T series, it should be the turn of the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T but based on a new report, the stable update may arrive well after Android 12 has been released.
According to an official forum post, actually an OxygenOS Monthly FAQ, it was revealed that the Open Beta version for the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T is scheduled to be released by the end of August. That is four months from now!
Based on this info, we do not expect a stable update will be released until late October at the earliest and by then Android 12 will already have been announced and probably even begun rolling out to eligible devices. This is definitely sad news for owners of these two devices who have been anticipating this update.
The OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T launched with Android 8 Oreo and Android 9 Pie respectively. So for the former, this is its third major OS upgrade and most likely its last. For the OnePlus 6T, this will be its second OS upgrade.
OnePlus’ recent attitude to updates may dissuade prospective customers as well as cause current ones to switch to another brand.
