OnePlus 7 and 7T pick up a new OxygenOS Open Beta with the October security patch (in November)

Okay, sure, it's a little late in the year to talk about October security patches, but OnePlus is still trying to keep its older OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7T phones updated with monthly security patches. The latest comes in the form of a brand new OxygenOS open beta, which includes a new build of OnePlus's own software on top of Android, plus last month's security bulletin.

Better late than never?

OnePlus 7 update

These builds are rolling out for the OnePlus 7 and 7T series with a relatively short changelog. You're looking at “improved system stability” alongside the October security fixes from Google, and a fix for the occasional camera bug when switching to your front camera. That's pretty much it.

This is available for all four phones in this lineup, including the OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro, plus the slightly newer OnePlus 7T and 7T Pro. It's unfortunate that this seems to be rolling out in the first week of November and probably doesn't bode well for a timely update at the end of this month, but at least OnePlus is still pushing these updates, even if they're falling behind some other OEMs.

Check it out below if you're ready to get your device upgraded.
