OnePlus is a good brand and it offers top-notch flagship smartphones. Now that we’ve stated the obvious, it is perhaps useful to also mention that the company is not very good with software updates. OnePlus only provides bi-monthly updates and the updates are not even for the current month. While brands like Samsung have already started releasing the June security patch, the BBK-owned company has now rolled out the May security patch for the OnePlus 10 Pro.

OnePlus has started releasing OxygenOS A.14 to the OnePlus 10 Pro. The new build fixes several bugs and existing issues such as the music playback issue with the Bluetooth car kit and disturbance issue in audio recordings. The latest firmware also addresses the overexposed HDR photos and phone call quality issue.

Here’s the official changelog:

• System
  • [Improved] system stability.
  • [Fixed] an issue where music playback would stutter when your phone was connected to a Bluetooth car kit.
  • [Fixed] a noise issue that might occur when you record audio.
  • [Updated] Android security patch to 2022.05
• Camera
  • [Fixed] an issue where the HDR photos might be overexposed in some cases.
• Network
  • [Optimized] the phone call stability.

The OTA update is initially being rolled to only the OnePlus 10 Pro units in India with the version number NE2211_11.A.14​. The company had seeded the A.14 build of the update but then it pulled it back for reasons unknown to us. However, the OEM has now released a newer A.14 build.

The latest update is being released in phases, and it will only show up to only a handful of 10 Pro users initially. A wider rollout should start in the coming days, with the update eventually also making its way to the European and North American variants.

If you follow the smartphone industry, you might be aware of Samsung and its love for software updates. The company promises 4 years of updates to all the Galaxy smartphones. True to its promise, Samsung has reportedly released its latest security update to a nearly four-year-old Galaxy Note 9. Currently, the update is available only in a few European countries.

As reported by Sammobile, the newly released software update for the Galaxy Note 9 has the firmware version N960FXXS9FVE1. The update is currently available in Germany, but other European countries are anticipated to receive it in the coming days. The May 2022 security patch fixes a lot of privacy and security vulnerabilities. It consists of Android OS fixes issued by Google and vulnerability fixes on Samsung’s own software.

If you live in Germany and own a Galaxy Note 9, you can now download and install the newest software update by going to Settings » Software update and selecting Download and install.

Technically, Note 9 shouldn’t be receiving this update because back in 2021 Samsung moved it to a quarterly update schedule. However, over the past seven months, the phone has been updated four times in December, January, February, and April. Now, we have a Galaxy Note 9 update for May 2022 carrying the latest security patch.

To recall, Samsung Galaxy Note 9 launched back in August 2018 with a Super AMOLED display, versatile dual-camera, a huge 4000mAh battery, and the S-Pen. The smartphone came with Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 under the hood and 6GB RAM paired with 128GB Storage.
