OnePlus 5T now receiving stable Android 8.0 Oreo-based OxygenOS 5.0.2

Two months after its launch, the OnePlus 5T is finally getting the Android Oreo update. OnePlus in a forum announced the official rollout of OxygenOS 5.0.2 based on Android 8.0 Oreo. The update comes a day after the company released the third OxygenOS open beta build for OnePlus 5T. The first stable Android Oreo-based OxygenOS update brings a new design for Quick Settings along with general bug fixes, improvements as well as a mitigation for Spectre-like vulnerabilities.

OnePlus’ Adam Krisko announced the incremental rollout of OxygenOS 5.0.2 along with a changelog that details some of the new features coming to OnePlus 5T. Apart from the design change to Quick Setting, the OTA will update the Launcher to version 2.2, Gallery to version 2.0, Weather to version 1.9 and File Manager to version 1.7.6. The Oreo update finally brings features like Picture-in-Picture, notification dots and autofill among other things.

OnePlus promised 5T users that it would push out the Oreo update in early 2018 and the company has lived up to that promise. The update will initially rollout to a small number of OnePlus 5T users while a broader rollout will follow in a few days. If you’re a OnePlus 5T user, you should get a notification of the update in the coming days. You can also manually check for the update in the Settings menu.

OnePlus on Tuesday also released OxygenOS Open Beta 3 based on Android Oreo for OnePlus 5T which includes new features like pick-up gesture switcher, SMS categorisation function for India, and new iPhone X-like navigation gestures, among other things. Note that beta users will not be able to download the stable Oreo update released today. To once again receive stable updates, users will have to factory reset their phones and flash a firmware build.

Meanwhile, the stable OxygenOS 5.0.2 is also being rolled out for OnePlus 5 which brings the 5T’s Face Unlock feature as promised by the company. The update also includes enhanced EIS for video recording and updated system apps.
