OnePlus has just deployed the latest Android security update on April 24, 2024 for the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro. From now on, both devices will no longer receive any patches, marking the official end of their support.
If OnePlus has committed in November 2022 to providing 4 years of Android updates and 5 years of security patches on all of its new high-end smartphones, the manufacturer’s old devices are unfortunately not affected by this policy.
So, for the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro, users had to settle for three major Android updates, and four years of security updates. And as you may knowboth devices were launched in 2020. Therefore, the official end of their care was expected this year.
End clap for software monitoring of OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro
It is now done, with the deployment this April 24, 2024 of the very latest Android security update promised by OnePlus. Distribution of this update OxygenOS 13.1.0.587 started in India and is expected to expand to other countries in the coming days. Unsurprisingly, no major changes on the horizon, the patch merely improves the security of the system.
Like all OTA updates, you will receive a notification on your smartphone to inform you of its availability. You are free to check manually by going to the System section in the Settings of your device. Then look for the tab “About my device” > Oxygen OS and start checking for any updates.
