one plus 6 and T are one of the best supported Android smartphones in the market today. The two models launched way back in, garnered tremendous popularity for their hardware and software support. The company even upgraded it to Android Pie version earlier this year. But the latest security update will be the final official update to both these devices.

OnePlus vs OnePlus T design

OnePlus is currently in the process of sending out an OTA update to the OnePlus and T models with the October security patch and an updated version of Google apps. But this will be the last update from the company, ending its official support after more than three years. The update is being rolled out in stages and some users will likely have to wait for a few days to receive it.

Even without official support, there are multiple third party ROM options available for both these devices right now. We already have ROMs like Lineage OS and Nitrogen OS in development that brings Android to these devices. Also, in the OpenEars forum held at Goa, India earlier this year, OnePlus promised to actively promote custom ROMs for EOL End Of Life devices. So OnePlus and T still likely has a year or two in terms of unofficial support.

As for the existing devices, OnePlus has already rolled out Android with the October security patch to all of its models, including the OnePlus and Pro. Only the OnePlus Pro G model is left out of this lot since the new Android version will be rolled out to the device in Q.

OnePlus is one of the few companies that managed to roll out the Android update to its latest smartphones. Android-based OxygenOS is already available for both OnePlus and Pro smartphones, however, the G variant of the Pro in Europe is yet to get the latest Android update.

Unfortunately for OnePlus Pro G users, the Android-based OxygenOS will not be released this year. Instead, the company has planned to make the update available for Pro G users in the first quarter of. OnePlus and T are also expected to get the latest version of Android around that time.

In a forum post, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau explained the reason why the company had to push the release date of Android for the G variant of the Pro smartphones. To be able to make system optimizations from the fundamental system architecture, in order to deliver a truly fantastic G experience is a "daunting challenge," according to CEO Pete Lau. He also termed it "an arduous and time-consuming process".

This is an arduous and time-consuming process that wouldn’t be possible without the support of our partners Qualcomm and wireless operators. But we promise that in this exciting new G era, OnePlus will undoubtedly overcome these obstacles and deliver the latest operating system for your G smartphones as soon as it is ready.

Based on the current R&D progress and compatibility with various partners, we’re expecting to launch the Android system update for OnePlus Pro G in the first quarter of.
