OnePlus is rolling out a new software series for its smartphones and tablets in India and other countries, the company announced on Wednesday. Following its introduction, eligible handsets will receive new monthly software updates in addition to periodic updates and security patches. It is also said to bring OnePlus’ self-developed apps and new features to eligible devices. This development comes amidst a myriad of device launches by the company, such as the OnePlus Nord 4 and OnePlus Pad 2, along with new editions of OnePlus Open and OnePlus 12R.
OnePlus Monthly Software Updates
In a post on the community forum, OnePlus announced the introduction of version U120P01 and version U120P02 – a new software series meant to bring monthly updates for its smartphones. As per the company, these updates will bypass the regular over-the-air (OTA) process and bring new features and enhancements to the handsets right away.
The rollout of monthly software updates began on August 2 in a phased manner. Users in Asia-Pacific regions, including India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, and Singapore will receive notifications. Furthermore, Middle-Eastern countries such as UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia will also get the update.
According to OnePlus, the update will be compatible with smartphones running the latest OxygenOS 14.00 and above, as well as previous versions like OxygenOS 13.1.0 and 13.00.
