OnePlus has recently updated the OxygenOS 13 upgrade for the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro which were launched back in 2020. In a recent statement, the most recent version, OxygenOS 13.1.0.587 has reflected on how the four-year-long journey with the OnePlus 8 series has come to an end.
To ensure a seamless transition, the update has been released in phases for all the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro users. OnePlus fulfilled its promise of four years of software support for these two devices with the release of the April security update. It covers upgrades for three years for the operating system and four years for Android.
In India, the update along with the April Security patch has been already rolled out. The developers have expressed gratitude to the users for their support throughout the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro lifecycle.
OnePlus is a popular smartphone brand known for its high-quality devices at affordable prices. Their latest phone, the OnePlus 12, has received rave reviews, showing the company's commitment to innovation. However, concerns are growing about how well they support older models with software updates, affecting the long-term user experience.
A good alternative to the older OnePlus 8 series is the OnePlus Nord 3 if you're not ready to spend a lot on a new flagship phone. OnePlus has more affordable options than other devices. When buying a phone, it's important to consider how long it will receive updates, as some companies now offer longer software support.
