The OnePlus 8T launched Android 11 out of the box, and to date it is the only OnePlus phone to be the latest Android version. While its predecessors anxiously await their turn, the 8T continues with a series of incremental updates in its relatively short lifespan. Now the latest OxygenOS version is planned, with a long list of network and system solutions.
For starters, OnePlus has improved full-screen gestures and made the fingerprint reader a little faster to unlock the phone. In addition to the newly added option to adjust the keyboard height, the 8T also gets a small solution for the pre-installed Gallery app and enhances the photography of the night landscape. Engineers also seem to be fixing the problem with taking down Wi-Fi connections, while also improving overall network stability.
In terms of an India-exclusive feature, the OnePlus Store will now act as a one-stop shop for accessing your Red Cable Club membership and purchasing OnePlus products. While this add-on sounds a bit messy (and even reminiscent of Samsung’s ads on the device promoting its own products), OnePlus says you’ll have the option to remove it completely.
As always, OxygenOS 11.0.6.7 will initially only be released to a handful of users, and wider availability may take up to a few days. OnePlus notes that those in Europe will have to wait a little longer, as the rollout only now covers North America and India.
