OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T and 7T Pro Android 11 update resumes with OxygenOS 11.0.0.2 hotfix


OnePlus rolled out OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11 to OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T and 7T Pro last month. Soon after the roll-out it temporarily paused the update since some users reported bugs. As promised the company has rolled out a new OxygenOS 11.0.0.2 hotfix update to fix the bugs. Both the Android 10 users and the users who have updated to Android 11 already will get the update.

The OxygenOS11.0.0.2 update is about 2.4GB for users those who are in Android 10, but those who have already updated to Android 11 will get a 205MB minor update. OnePlus said that it will gradually roll out to everyone. The changelog remains the same, but this brings the Android security patch for March 2021.
