OnePlus 3 and 3T will now receive Android Nougat 7.0 based OxygenOS 4.0 update

OnePlus had announced in November about the probable rollout of the Android Nougat update for OnePlus 3 and 3T users before the year ends and so it has. OnePlus, meeting the deadline by a thin margin, CEO Carl Pei announced the stable release of OxygenOS 4.0 based on Android Nougat 7.0 has started to roll out to users.

The Android 7.0 Nougat-based OxygenOS 4.0 update is now being pushed over-the-air and will reach all users over the coming days. The company stated it as an “incremental rollout”, implying that it will roll out in batches with only a few users receiving the update on the first day, with subsequent rollouts over the next few days.

The update is based on the latest Android 7.0 Nougat. The change-log includes better shelf customisation, new notifications and settings design, multi-window view, support for direct reply of notifications, custom DPI support, and the ability to choose status bar icons. This update also makes Quick Launch available to third-party apps.

With this update, the OnePlus 3 and the OnePlus 3T will now run on the same software. OnePlus should bring simultaneous update for both the devices in the future as well.
