What is OnePlus Update Policy?
OnePlus recently announced a new policy for its flagship smartphones launching in 2023 and further. The company said that ‘some’ of its upcoming flagship devices will get four years of major Android updates and five years of security updates.
In July 2021, the company announced that all of its devices above the OnePlus 8 series will receive three major Android updates and four years of security updates. However, OnePlus 7 and 7T series were excluded from this announcement.
For OnePlus 7 and 7T series, the company followed two years of major Android updates and an additional year of only security updates.
While the official update cycle of OnePlus 7 and 7T series devices has come to an end, you can keep upgrading them using Custom ROMs. But that should be done with complete knowledge and with an expert.
