We won’t be going into aspects such as performance because it’s OnePlus we’re talking about.

Huawei had already done this a year ago when it jumped from EMUI 5.1 based on Android 7.0 to EMUI 8.0 based on Android 8.0. So, users will know Oxygen OS 9.0 is based on Android 9, Oxygen OS 10.0 will be based on Android 10.0, and so on. This is done simply so that the Oxygen OS version number matches the Android version number, to avoid any confusion. So is Oxygen OS 9.0 such a big leap that OnePlus decided to jump 4 whole numbers ahead? Not really. Starting off with the name, Oxygen OS 9.0? The previous version, based on Android Oreo was Oxygen OS 5.1. Besides all of that, there’s Bluetooth 5, support for two nano-SIM cards, and Dash Charge fast charging. EIS is still here along with a super slow motion mode at 480fps in 720p or at 240fps in 1080p.Ī 3,300mAh battery delivers the necessary juice to power the setup. The camera has OIS support and can record 4K 60fps video as well. This results in better low-light performance. This is paired with another 20Mp camera sensor. On the back is the 16-megapixel f/1.7 main camera which has larger pixels now. The display is a 19:9 AMOLED panel with a resolution of 1080 x 2280 pixels. In case you weren’t aware, or you need a refresher, it’s powered by a Snapdragon 845 SoC and paired with up to 8 GB RAM and a 128GB storage. Besides, already published a guide on rooting the OnePlus 6 on the OOS 9.0. If you haven’t installed the new update yet, here’s our tutorial to help you install Android Pie Based Oxygen OS 9.0 on your OnePlus 6. Here’s the Oxygen OS 9.0 review as experienced on the OnePlus 6.

OnePlus’ take on Android 9.0 is called Oxygen OS 9.0. The company had previously been testing Android P Developer Previews on the OnePlus 6, which certainly have helped in delivering the Android Pie update a lot earlier. So far, it’s only the second non-pixel Android smartphone to receive the Android Pie update. The OnePlus 6 has joined an elite group of Android smartphones that are now running an official build of Android 9.0 Pie.

Meanwhile, OnePlus has fulfilled its responsibilities towards the OnePlus 6, which was launched only a few months ago. The OnePlus 6T is rumored to be launched sometime in October, which isn’t that far away.
