5 Things to Know About OnePlus Android Pie Updates

Now that multiple OnePlus Android 9 Pie updates are available and more betas continue to arrive, users are patiently waiting for more details. Google only released Android 9 Pie a few months ago, and OnePlus already updated several phones. Here’s everything you need to know, what to expect, and what’s new.

For now, Android 9 Pie is available for Google’s Pixel family of devices, including the new Pixel 3. Not to mention a few other devices like the Essential phone and the OnePlus 6/6T. And now, we’re seeing the company move on to older devices by sending out the OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T Android Pie beta.

Actually, OnePlus was one of 11 manufacturers that partnered with Google to test the Android P Developer Preview early. As a result, the company is well ahead of schedule compared to previous years and delivered the first official Android Pie update just a month after Google did.

We expected a similar quick approach for older phones like the OnePlus 5, but they saw a slight delay and are only just now joining the beta in mid-December.

The company hasn’t confirmed any specific dates yet, aside from the first official OnePlus 6 Android Pie update on September 21st. Followed by the OnePlus 6T coming with Pie out of the box. However, thanks to previous release cycles we have a pretty good idea of what to expect moving forward. We can start to piece together the update pie, and give you a sense of when it’s coming.

In our slideshow below we’ll share information about a few things you need to know about Pie if you have the OnePlus 6, 5T, 5 and even the older OnePlus 3 and 3T. Yes, the OnePlus 3 will get Android 9.
