OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11 for the OnePlus 6 and 6T
OnePlus launched the first beta of OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11 for the OnePlus 6 and 6T in early July, far ahead of schedule. The phones received two further beta upgrades after that, the most recent of which was only a few days ago.
Today OnePlus is announcing the launch of the completed, stable Android 11 upgrade for these two phones, thus it appears that this build acted as a type of release candidate.' As is customary, the deployment will begin slowly. Only a small number of devices will get the update today, with a wider rollout coming in a few days once the company has confirmed there are no significant problems.
This information is for all OnePlus 6 and 6T devices in the wild. So, even if you weren't brave enough to try out the beta, Android 11 will be arriving on your phone very soon.
As you'd expect from a major Android version upgrade, the changelog is lengthy. A new camera UI, a new Insight Clock for the Ambient Display, a Dark Mode Quick Settings shortcut, custom times for automatically enabling and disabling Dark Mode, and a new Shelf design with a smarter animation effect for the weather are all included in the new build.
