OnePlus phones to receive Android Nougat this year
OnePlus 3 smartphones will receive Google’s newest Android operating system Nougat 7.0 by the end of November, confirmed Brian Yoon, the startups’ head of software, to Engadget.
According to the report, Android Nougat update will be pushed out via over-the-air (OTA) to all OnePlus 3s and OnePlus 2 smartphones by the end of the year.
Also, last month OnePlus One was spotted on GFXbench, a benchmark website, running Android Nougat. In addition, another benchmark website called Geekbench revealed testing of Android Nougat versions on various OnePlus models, including OnePlus One, OnePlus 2 and OnePlus 3.
In fact, the performance tests spotted on Geekbench revealed that only OnePlus 3 models performed best with Nougat 7.1 version, while OnePlus One and OnePlus 2 performed well with Android 7.0, hinting these two years older models to get only Android 7.0 in update.
