OnePlus started rolling out the stable Android 11-based OxygenOS 11 update for the OnePlus7 and OnePlus 7T series worldwide in late March. A few days later, the brand halted the rollout citing bugs, just like it did with the OnePlus Nord. Now, days later, the company has re-released this update as OxygenOS 11.0.0.2 similar to what it did with the Nord.

The latest system update for the OnePlus 7/7 Pro and the OnePlus 7T/7T Pro comes with an identical changelog as the older build with some minute changes.

First and foremost, the new OxygenOS 11.0.0.2 update features March 2021 security patches instead of February 2021. Secondly, it also brings three new camera features that were not present in the previous build.

These new camera features are an option for sharing pictures to third-party apps by holding in preview, quick recording by holding the shutter button, shutter button slide gesture to zoom in or out in quick recording, and playback display in time-lapse mode.

The post OxygenOS 11 Open Beta 2 for OnePlus 7/7T series brings AOD for the Pro models appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus was one of the few brands part of Android 11 Beta program. This helped the brand to roll out stable OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11 to OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro last week. In the announcement for the rollout, the company also listed the eligible devices for the update. Now, a OnePlus spokesperson has also revealed when the last year’s OnePlus 7 and OnePus 7 Pro will get the update.

After the OnePlus 8 series, the OnePlus 7T series should be first in line to receive the Android 11-based OxygenOS 11 update. However, interestingly, a company spokesperson revealed the Android 11 timeline for OnePlus 7 series instead of OnePlus 7T to Android Authority.

According to the said OnePlus representative, OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro will receive OxygenOS 11 update in December. That means the OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro should ideally get it before, however, the executive did not mention anything about it.

Further, OnePlus recently recruited closed beta testers for the OnePlus Nord. Hence, there’s a chance that this handset may also get the Android 11 update before the end of 2020.

Last but not least, we expect the company to deliver OxygenOS 11 update to OnePlus 6T and OnePlus 6 in Q1 2021. As for OnePlus 8T, it ships with the latest software out of the box.
