OnePlus 6/6T and 7/7T series pick up May patch and a lot more with their latest OxygenOS updates
Manually download and sideload the updates if you don't like waiting

Karandeep Singh

OnePlus has lately stepped up its software-update game following a brief setback late last year. The company’s been taking a proactive approach to release timely major — as well as incremental — updates even to some of its oldest phones, and the newer 7 and 7T lineup have also been consistently receiving their fair share of attention in the form of performance improvements and general optimizations. Keeping up with that spirit, over the past couple of days OnePlus has pushed a buttload of feature and security updates across its range going back to 2018 — including the 6/6T, along with the 7 and 7T series.

The OnePlus 8 is a big upgrade over the OnePlus 6 and 6T, but is it worth the cost?
The classic tech conundrum: To wait in anticipation or upgrade pronto?

Karandeep Singh

With the OnePlus 8, the company has put together a compelling phone that has a very calculated mix of features and compromises to keep its price tag relatively reasonable. The emerging Chinese brand that once started off in the mid-tier segment is now sailing in premium waters — a perfect recipe for leaving one’s existing customers in dilemma. The OnePlus 6 and 6T, released in 2018, are nearing their two-year cycles, and many of their owners were eyeing the 8 as a fitting replacement. But the substantially higher starting price of the non-Pro 2020 model has somewhat diluted the value-for-money element, posing a tough question for those due for an upgrade: Is the OnePlus 8 even worth upgrading to?

Paranoid Android ROM is back from the dead with Android 10 builds (Update: Two more devices)

Corbin Davenport

This story was originally published and last updated . 

LineageOS is the most-used custom Android ROM around, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for others. Paranoid Android was a popular choice back in the KitKat days, and while the ROM returned in full force with Nougat builds in 2017, there hasn't been much news since. Now the project is back (again), touting Android 10 builds for nine phones so far.

The OnePlus 6 and 6T Open Beta program is over

LineageOS ROM releases first builds based on Android 10 (Update: Builds are back)
LineageOS 17.1 is here

Corbin Davenport

LineageOS is the most popular custom ROM in existence, and the project prides itself on bringing newer versions of Android to unsupported devices. However, Lineage has been a bit slow to roll out a version based on Android 10 ⁠— the Pie-based ROM was already available by this time last year. Thankfully, the next major version of LineageOS seems to be just around the corner.

Besides fixing a couple of issues

Karandeep Singh

After going through a rough spell lately, OnePlus is back on track with its release schedule and is keeping up with its commitment to push bi-monthly security updates. It released the December patch to the OnePlus 6T and 6 late last month, along with a slew of minor fixes, and now the two 2018 flagships are getting a bump to the February level with the newest update.

OnePlus 6 and 6T are receiving OxygenOS Open Beta 5
Bug fixes, improvements to the phone app's one-handed mode, and an update to ZenMode

Manuel Vonau

OnePlus' OxygenOS is among the best custom Android skins out there as it enhances the OS with thoughtful additions without changing up too much. The company is hard at work continuously updating this software and regularly publishes betas to make sure new releases are as bug-free as possible. As such, the manufacturer has just announced the fifth Open Beta for the OnePlus 6 and 6T.

Ryne Hager

Following the ridiculously long Android 10 update fiasco for the OnePlus 6 and 6T, a new stable v10.3.1  OxygenOS update for the two devices has started rolling out. Apart from a bump to the December 2019 security patches, the changelog is nothing but fixes: Hotspot Wi-Fi fixes, fingerprint unlock fixes, camera crash fixes, and the omnipresent but undefined system stability and general bug fixes.
