OnePlus 3 and 3T ride off into sunset with final security update

The OnePlus 3T.

The OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T will go down as two of OnePlus’ most popular devices, continuing the affordable flagship trend started by the company two generations earlier. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, as the phones are now reportedly receiving their last scheduled security update.

According to XDA-Developers, OnePlus has confirmed that it’s initiated the “phase one rollout” for the update. The update will apparently be pushed out to more users once it’s confirmed that there are no major issues.

This OTA delivers the October 2019 security patch, updates Google’s apps, and offers “general bug fixes and improvements.” There’s no word on the specific bug fixes and tweaks though.

The best OnePlus 7T cases

The OnePlus 7T brings everything that makes the OnePlus 7 Pro great to a more affordable price point. Not only is the 7T one of the best premium mid-range smartphones you can buy, but it …

It’s certainly been a great run for the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T, launching back in 2016. Back then, OnePlus’s main rivals were the Samsung Galaxy S7 series, Xiaomi Mi 5, HTC 10, and the LG G5. It says a lot that the OnePlus phones are two of the few flagship devices from back then to receive Android Pie. And to the best of our knowledge, none of the listed rivals have received Pie.

We’re sure the custom ROM community will keep the 2016 OnePlus phones alive beyond the official 36 month support period. But if you want official system updates on a OnePlus phone, you’ll need to upgrade to a more recent device like the OnePlus 7T. It’s a big upgrade too, owing to the 90Hz display, Snapdragon 855 Plus chipset, triple rear camera, and bigger, faster charging battery.

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
