OnePlus 7 Pro update brings August security patch ahead of Pixel phones

Update, July 31, 2019 (2:28 p.m. ET): OnePlus is issuing a software update to the OnePlus 7 Pro that contains a few minor fixes as well as the August 2019 Android security patch. This update comes in at OxygenOS version 9.5.11.

The August 2019 security patch isn’t yet available for Google’s own Pixel phones, and OnePlus is already rolling it out to its flagship smartphone. Google will likely announce the security patch on its security bulletin website sometime soon, likely Thursday, August 1.

Check out the changelog below for the OnePlus 7 Pro’s OxygenOS 9.5.11 update:

System

  • Optimized Adaptive Brightness
  • Optimized the sensitiveness of the screen touch while gaming
  • Optimized the accidental touches with notification bar in calling
  • Updated GMS to 2019.06
  • Updated Android security patch to 2019.08
  • General bug fixes and improvements

As usual, OnePlus is doing a staggered rollout for v9.5.11. As such, it might be a few days before you see the upgrade notification on your device. If you want to manually check for the update, head to Settings > System > System updates.


Welcome to the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro updates hub. Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about the latest Android updates for the two devices, including their current versions and when future updates are likely to arrive.

Both the 7 and 7 Pro run OxygenOS, OnePlus’ proprietary Android skin. OxygenOS is known for fast updates that come for a very long time, so be sure to bookmark this page and visit often.

Note the OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro sometimes receive updates at the same time. Also, note that the T-Mobile variant of the OnePlus 7 Pro might receive software updates at a later date.


OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro updates

  • Current stable version: Android 9 Pie
  • When will the OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro get Android Q? September 2019 – November 2019 (estimated)

The OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro launched on May 14, 2019, with the then-latest version of Android, Android 9 Pie. It’s expected both devices will receive at least two major Android updates in the future — Android Q in 2019 and Android R in 2020. It’s possible that it will also receive an update to Android S in 2021, as the OnePlus 3T received four flavors of Android during its update lifespan (Marshmallow, Nougat, Oreo, and Pie).

Based on OnePlus’ history of updates — as well as the fact that OnePlus is already pushing beta versions of Android Q to the devices — the phones are likely to receive the final version of Android Q shortly after it’s released. Google is expected to release Android Q sometime around this August.
