OnePlus has started rolling out a new software update for OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T users and the new OxygenOS 9.0.4 update brings in some major improvements, bug fixes and January Android Security Patch. OnePlus in a blog post announced on Saturday that the OxygenOS 9.0.4 update has been released for a limited number of users as of now and the broader rollout will reach to all users in the coming days which means if you haven’t received the update notification yet, then you may receive it in the next couple of days.

The biggest highlight of the latest update is the deep integration of Google Duo and network stability. The integration of Google Duo video calling feature has been made across call logs, contacts, dialling pad and messages. The update will make Duo the primary video calling app on the device and the best part is, if users wish to disable it, they may do so by heading to the settings option.

In addition to this, the update brings in network stability, improved stability for OTA upgrades, bug fixes, system improvements and Android Security Patch.

The changelog of OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T OxygenOS 9.0.4 update includes-

  1. Updated Android security patch to 2019.1
  2. Improved stability for OTA upgrade
  3. General bug fixes and system improvements
  4. Deep integration with Google Duo
  5. Improved network stability

OnePlus 5 and 5T users will directly get a notification once the OxygenOS 9.0.4 update is ready for their devices. If you haven’t received the notification then you may head to settings, then tap on System and click on Software updates. Separately, the company recently also revealed that both the devices will also get Android 9 Pie update really soon.

Tech Update

OnePlus has over the past few weeks released two beta builds of the Android 9 Pie update for the OnePlus 5 and 5T, and now the stable version is rolling out.

The finalized version of the update is headed to the company’s two handsets from last year. It arrives as OxygenOS 9.0.0, based on Android Pie. It contains the December 2018 security patches too.

When you get the new software, you’ll see the brand new Pie UI, new navigation gestures for the 5T, and you get a new Do Not Disturb mode too, with adjustable settings. Google Lens is integrated in the Camera app, and Gaming mode 3.0 comes with a text notification mode and added notifications for third party calls.

Obviously some unnamed system improvements are baked in as well. As usual, the rollout is staged. It’s going out to a small percentage of users at the moment, and it will expand in a few days.

OnePlus 5, OnePlus 5T Start Receiving OxygenOS 5.1.3 Update

OnePlus 5, OnePlus 5T Start Receiving OxygenOS 5.1.3 Update

OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T users have started receiving the OxygenOS 5.1.3 update. Earlier this week, OnePlus 6 had started getting OxygenOS 5.1.8 as a new software update. Specifically for Indian users, the update brought all the features that debuted through the OxygenOS 5.1.7 released last week. That said, the company has clearly not forgotten about its older smartphones – OnePlus 5 and 5T – as it is pushing out an over-the-air (OTA) update for the latest version of OxygenOS for these handsets as well.

OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T are receiving the latest OxygenOS 5.1.3 software update. The file size of the update is around 58MB. Changelog of the update entails system updates but does not include the latest Android security patch. It is just a minor update that comes with a few under-the-hood optimisations and a fix for a security issue with the bootloader – perhaps addressing an issue similar to the OnePlus 6 bootloader vulnerability, which was fixed with the OxygenOS 5.1.7 update. While the security issue has been resolved, it is unfortunate that Google’s June security patch is not included in the latest OxygenOS update.

It is interesting to note that OnePlus had first made the announcement about the rollout of OxygenOS 5.1.3 via a forum post on June 15, only to delete it later. However, the company later released an identical post on June 17. As of now, it is unclear why OnePlus decided to remove its earlier post. Some users had posted grievances about various issues in the latest update, but such complaints are common during the rollout of almost every update.

Meanwhile, the OxygenOS 5.1.3 software update to the OnePlus 5 and 5T also resolves some inconsistencies with the Bluetooth audio for cars. Some users were apparently having stability issues with the connection, but the issue has not been fixed. Additionally, a few other general bug fixes and improvements have also rolled out with the update.

OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T users, who have not received the OTA update, can check by going into Settings > System updates. You can also download the latest OxygenOS ROM through OnePlus forums and install it using the given instructions. As always, users are advised to take a complete backup and ensure that the battery is charged before installing the update.

OnePlus 5T Sandstone White Variant Sold Out, Removed From Website Within Two Hours of Launch

OnePlus 5T Sandstone White Variant Sold Out, Removed From Website Within Two Hours of Launch

OnePlus recently launched the Sandstone White variant of its latest OnePlus 5T, only in the US, Canada, and China. But it seems like excitement for OnePlus fans was extremely short-lived as the smartphone was sold out in about two hours of release. Add to that, the variant has also been removed OnePlus’ website entirely, except on the portal for China. Some reports suggest that the variant might not make a comeback anytime soon. An India launch has not yet been announced by the company.

As we mentioned, OnePlus took to Twitter to announce that the Sandstone White variant of the OnePlus 5T had sold out in less than two hours of its availability. According to a report by Android Police, OnePlus has confirmed that the variant has been “completely sold out in North America” and removed from the website entirely.

The Sandstone White variant was announced earlier this month. It looks a lot like the Star Wars limited edition variant, albeit without the branding and custom wallpaper, and features the ‘sandstone’ finish that the company made famous with the launch of the OnePlus One. If you were hoping to buy the Sandstone White variant of the OnePlus 5T, it looks like you’re out of luck, unless you buy the model from China where it is still listed. There’s no telling how long those stocks will last.

Recently, OnePlus was involved in a situation wherein customers reported fraud transactions on their credit cards. The transactions were reported by users who made purchases on the official OnePlus website. OnePlus said that it is currently investigating the matter.

The company also announced the launch of a new Lava Red OnePlus 5T variant in India last week. The variant uses anodic oxidation processes and AF coating to maintain a consistent texture.

Just to briefly recap, the OnePlus 5T sports a 6.01-inch full-HD+ (1080×2160 pixels) Full Optic AMOLED display with an 18:9 aspect ratio. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, paired with 6/ 8GB of RAM and 128 inbuilt storage.

Features of the phone include a 16-megapixel + 20-megapixel rear dual camera setup, Face Unlock, and Dash Charge support.
