OnePlus forayed in to the television segment with the Q1 series way back in 2019. It was the brand’s first flagship TV with premium specifications and features. At the time of launch, the Q1 and Q1 Pro shipped with pre-installed Android 9 OS out of the box. Now, as per a tech creator on the X (formerly Twitter) platform, the OnePlus TV Q1 is receiving a surprising software update. 

OnePlus TV Q1 receiving a surprising software update

Utsav Techie has shared an image of the OnePlus TV Q1 getting a software update notification. It reveals some key details. For starters, the newest version has a firmware number OPTVIN.2.A.01_GLO_082_2312290405. The update package weighs 820MB in size. The update notes that the Android version is upgraded from 9 to 11. It packs enhanced security and privacy levels, updated several apps, and bug fixes and performance improvements. 

This is quite surprising and great for the owners of the OnePlus TV Q1 who have been stuck on the dated Android version 9. We assume the Android 11 version on televisions offers many more features. However, it’s worth noting that the brand has not shared any official details of the software update rollout on the TV Q1. 

To recall, the OnePlus TV Q1 has a 55-inch QLED display with MEMC, Dolby Vision, and support for HDR10 formats. It is equipped with a 50W quad-speakers. The television features a carbon-fiber pattern on the back case. It comes with built-in Google Assistant and Chromecast as well as pre-installed OTT apps. During the launch, it was announced that the OnePlus TV Q1 will get three Android TV updates.
