- OnePlus is rolling out a new software update series that adds new features and improvements to its software and in-house apps.
- This update works similarly to an OTA but is rolled out slower and doesn’t follow all the same rules.
- The first update seems to focus on minor software improvements, though hopefully, future updates will be more substantial.
Google’s Pixel drop updates are a great way to continue to add beneficial features to users without waiting for major Android updates, and it seems that OnePlus agrees with the concept. The company has announced a new monthly update series that will add extra features to its software and in-house apps. The new program begins this month and contains two versions for August marked U120P01 and U120P02, respectively.
To be clear, this isn’t the same thing as a typical OTA update and is independent of typical security patches and OS upgrades. There also doesn’t appear to be any way to flash it manually like you could with other types of updates. It also doesn’t roll out the way typical OTAs do, as the company says it will introduce monthly updates in phases to “ensure a smooth and stable installation for all users” and admits this current update might not reach everyone until as late as September 6.
