OnePlus announced the OxygenOS 12 Open Beta initiative for the 7 and 7T series back in July. Now, after months of beta testing, the OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, and 7T Pro are receiving a stable build of OxygenOS 12 based on Android 12. The update brings several enhancements as well as new features to the phones. Here are the details.
According to the official community post, the update is labeled H.28 for the OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro, and F.16 for the OnePlus 7T and 7T Pro (via XDA).
