The software update rolling out today to the OnePlus 3T isn't what you think it's for.

A software update for OxygenOS 3.5.4 is being pushed to the OnePlus 3T, and it includes a bunch of fixes as well as optimizations for device owners on T-Mobile's network.

Here's the full changelog:

Optimizations for US-TMO Network
Optimizations to Reduce Lag when Battery is below 5%
Optimized Bluetooth Connectivity for Mazda Cars
Optimized Battery Saving Mode: GPS and Orientation Preferences will be restored when Battery Saving Mode is closed.
Fixed Flashlight Usability Issue in WhatsApp

See what's missing? Android 7.0 Nougat. OnePlus still doesn't have its last two flagships, which show a very clean user experience in the software, on the latest version of Android. Last we heard, OnePlus said Nougat would be live on the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T by the end of the year. It”s now the final month of 2016, so OnePlus has less than three weeks to get a massive software update out.

A software update that isn't for Nougat is on the way, but it'll improve the performance on your device in multiple areas.
