At the end of April, OnePlus revealed that it will be releasing the Android 11 beta update for the OnePlus 6 and the OnePlus 6T in late August. Two months later, the brand once again reiterates the same timeline after numerous queries from users on social media.
According to a report by PiunikaWeb, OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T users are actively enquiring the brand regarding the Android 11-based OxygenOS 11 update for their smartphones on social media.
The official OnePlus Support Twitter account recently replied to one of these queries. As per that tweet, the company will be rolling out the Android 11 (OxygenOS 11) Open Beta update for the OnePlus 6 and the OnePlus 6T at the end of August. This goes in line with a previous timeline provided by the brand.
This means the Android 11 update for the OnePlus 6/6T is not delayed. But anyway, the update will be still arriving a year after Google unveiled Android 11 last year.
Above all, the stipulated timeline is only for beta builds. Hence, the final stable build may take more time depending on bugs. In a nutshell, we can expect the update to reach every unit by the end of this year.
With OnePlus’ merger with OPPO, the brand is anticipated to improve its software support. Hence, the current-gen OnePlus branded smartphones may not face slower update rollout in the future.
