OnePlus has announced the launch of newest update for OxygenOS for OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T users. The update for OnePlus 3 has just been launched, and it will be rolling out for all the users in a staged manner in the coming week. One thing to note is that the OxygenOS is still on Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 and this update is not the stable version of the changes seen and done in OxygenOS Community Build release cycle.
Instead, this update is entirely different and fixes some of the issues being faced by the OnePlus 3 users. The update for OnePlus 3 comes a day later than the update for OnePlus 3T users. The OnePlus 3T update looks more like a bugfix for the users to install on the first day as not many users have received the device. The company has rolled out OxygenOS 3.5.3 as the first OTA for the newly launched smartphone which adds emergency calling for India, Motion detection in camera along with enhanced image quality.

OnePlus also added the OnePlus community app, updated and optimised the touch panel firmware for precision and updated GPS library. Also, OnePlus has redesigned the clock and calling UI for OnePlus 3T users along with increased stability. OxygenOS 3.2.8 update for OnePlus 3 will add 1080p video recording at 60fps, emergency calling, increased system stability and bug fixes. One important thing to note is that the company has also added optimisation for Snapchat on the OS level to fix the video calling and lags in scrolling.
The company seems to have followed up with its promise that it will be launched the updates for both OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T at almost the same time. Another massive update is expected to launch somewhere early next month which will bring a whole bunch of features for OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T users including features like long screenshot, redesigned interface and other things along with OxygenOS Community Build based on Android Nougat 7.0. This comes right after the company announced that OnePlus 3T will start selling in India from December 2.
