OnePlus has launched a new monthly update series for its OxygenOS system, targeting both phones and tablets. From what we’ve been able to understand, this isn’t a standard over-the-air (OTA) update. Instead, it will upgrade OnePlus’ own apps and add some new system features to enhance the software experience.
According to OnePlus, the new update series will be available for phones and tablets carrying the firmware versions U120P01(BRB1EX01) and U120P01(BRB3EX01).
The update has already started its phased deployment from August 2nd and is expected to reach users across Asia-Pacific regions like India, Hong Kong, and Singapore, as well as select Middle Eastern countries, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia, by September 6th.
The main advantage of this new series is faster access to updates for OnePlus’ self-developed apps and new features, avoiding the usual staggered OTA rollout. This means quicker bug fixes, performance improvements, and possibly new functionalities.
The initial update, U120P01, is relatively minor, focusing on optimizing the unit converter interface within the Calculator app and general system stability improvements.
