OnePlus has already released Oxygen 5.0 flavored Android 8.0 Oreo update for OnePlus 3, OnePlus 3T and OnePlus 5 smartphones. However, the newly unveiled OnePlus 5T is yet to receive the latest version of Android.

At the launch of the OnePlus 5T, the company had confirmed that it will be releasing the Oreo update for soon after it arrives in the market.

Even though the official Twitter account confirms the arrival of Oreo update, it is not available for download and also the official forum of the company has not confirmed on it. However, it does appear that the company will be releasing the beta update soon. Owners of the OnePlus 5T may want to visit this link to check the availability of the beta update.

The open beta version of Android Oreo is not a stable edition. In other words, it is a test version that will contains bugs. It will be rolled out to the users to let them try the Android Oreo update before releasing the final version. For installing the open beta, users will have to flash the OP5T manually with beta ROM. Users who do not want to flash the OP5T manually can wait for the arrival of the final version OTA firmware. It seems that the company will be releasing the stable Oreo build in January 2018

OnePlus has kept to its promise of updating the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T to Android 8.0 Oreo before the end of the year. In a forum post today, OnePlus announced that the official OTA update has started rolling out to the two devices.

The update which comes as an OxygenOS 5.0 not only brings Android Oreo but some additional features. Below are the key changes that comes with the OTA.

• System
  Update to Android O (8.0)
  Added Parallel Apps
  Added Picture in Picture
  Added Auto-fill
  Added Smart text selection
  New Quick Settings design
  Updated security patch to September
• Launcher
  Added notification dots
  New app folder design
  Now able to upload photos directly to Shot on OnePlus

Based on screenshots from those who have updated, the OTA also includes September’s security patch which is disappointing seeing as some devices are already receiving November’s security patch. There is also no confirmation if the update fixes the KRACK Wi-Fi vulnerability.

While OnePlus has already announced that Android Oreo will be the last major update for the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T, it will still receive security updates and possibly, bug fixes.

The update makes OnePlus the second manufacturer to release Android Oreo for its devices. The update is incremental and should start arriving on most devices in a few days.
