As of right now, the Mountain View-based tech giant is yet to roll-out its update while OnePlus 7 Pro, including the one we have at tech2, has already received the update in the form of OxygenOS 9.5.11.Apart from the security patch, the company has also provided several other updates such as optimisation to the Adaptive Brightness, optimisation of the sensitiveness of the screen touch while gaming. The full changelog is here.

• Optimized Adaptive Brightness
• Optimized the sensitiveness of the screen touch while gaming
• Optimized the accidental touches with notification bar in calling
• Updated GMS to 2019.06
• Updated Android security patch to 2019.08
• General bug fixes and improvements

It is good to see that the OnePlus is keeping up its trend of providing swift software upgrades and also its continuous support for devices that it had announced 2-3 years back. As with all OxygenOS updates, this is a staged rollout. This means that only a couple of users will get the update first and later on a wider roll-out will take place.
