Original Story

OnePlus is rolling out a new system update for its 2018 flagship smartphone and its most affordable 2020 budget smartphone. These devices are none other than the OnePlus 6/6T and the OnePlus Nord N100. For the former, the latest update arrives as OxygenOS 10.3.11. Whereas, for the latter, the update is called OxygenOS 10.5.8 (NA) / 10.5.10 (EU).

The latest system update for OnePlus 6, OnePlus 6T, and OnePlus Nord N100 do not bring any new features. Instead, the only update comes with May 2021 security patches, fixes for some known issues, and improvements for system stability.

Anyway, at least these devices are receiving security patches. Hopefully, the new builds don’t introduce new bugs and issues. As far as the availability of this update is concerned, it is being rolled out in batches. Hence, it may take some time to reach every unit.

As far as Android 11 is concerned, OnePlus has confirmed to release OxygenOS 11 Open Beta for the OnePlus 6 and the OnePlus 6T in August. However, interested users can already experience last year’s Android version by installing LineageOS 18.1.

On the other hand, OnePlus is yet to officially reveal the availability of the Android 11 update for the OnePlus Nord N100. But what we know is that it will be the only major software update for this handset.

OnePlus 8 Pro comes with a color filter camera. This camera is capable of seeing through thin plastics and clothes. Thus, the company announced to disable it in the Chinese variant of the handset running HydrogenOS. But accidentally, the brand disabled it in the global version as well via OxygenOS 10.5.9 OTA. But now, it is re-enabling the ‘photochrom’ filter through new OxygenOS 10.5.10 update.

Last week, OnePlus began to roll out May 2020 security patch update to the OnePlus 8 series worldwide. This patch comes as OxygenOS 10.5.10 for Global and Indian variants of OnePlus 8 Pro.

Surprisingly, the changelog for the update does not mention anything about the re-enabling of ‘photochrom’ filter in the camera app. Having said that, this change is only applicable to the global variant of the handset.

The European version of OnePlus 8 Pro never received the update disabling the color filter camera in the first place. Also, though the Indian variant is receiving the same build as global, it does not re-enable the filter.

Because OnePlus has already announced that the handset will go on sale in India with the color filter camera disabled. However, it did confirm to enable it at the end of June via a new OTA update.
