MagyarThe OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T can finally be upgraded to Android 11
OnePlus launched the OnePlus 6 over three years ago, which it followed five months later with the OnePlus 6T. The OnePlus 6 arrived with Android 8.1 Oreo, whereas the OnePlus 6T debuted with Android 9.0 Pie. However, OnePlus runs the pair on the same development channel, so they will both end up on the same version of Android.
Earlier this year, OnePlus promised to begin issuing Android 11 beta updates to the 6 and 6T by the end of August. However, the company has delivered the inaugural OxygenOS 11 Open Beta ahead of schedule. The update is now live for both the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T, although past experience suggests holding off for now.
Nonetheless, it has still taken OnePlus ten months to deliver Android 11 to the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T. Typically, OnePlus takes at least a month to transition from Open Beta builds to stable ones, for reference.
You can roll back from Android 11 to Android 10, should you wish to do so. The changelog for Android 11 Open Beta 1 is as follows:
