A representative from OnePlus confirmed in an obscure forum thread on the company’s community forum that the company will no longer provide software support for its OnePlus 6 and 6T smartphones, which were released in 2018.
Given that OnePlus has limited software support to three years since their OnePlus 3/3T devices, this isn’t surprising. Each OnePlus flagship phone receives three major OS upgrades and three years of security patches, with the OnePlus 6/6T’s support ending in 2021. The previous OxygenOS 11 upgrade, which was based on Android 11, was released in September of last year, and the pair recently received the December security patch.
So, if you want to keep using your OnePlus 6/6T, you’ll either have to look into third-party ROMs or accept the fact that you won’t be getting the newest Android updates.
