Latest OnePlus 9R and 8 series update promises charging speed optimizations
TheOnePlus 8series andOnePlus 9Rrepresent some of the last OP models to ship with the pure OxygenOS experience — minus all thatColorOS stuffthat so many have grown to hate. It’s true that theinitial Android 12 rolloutfor these devices hasn’t been entirely bug-free (with even the announcement post warning about bugs), but users can find some comfort in knowing that they’re much better off than thebuggy messOnePlus 9 owners had to put up with. Thankfully, the company seems keen on polishing things up, and the latest update to start arriving for the OnePlus 8, 8 Pro, 8T, and 9R claims to do just that.
Sadly, there’s no sign of any April security patch just yet, and this firmware C.15 release seems relatively minor in terms of changes — but we do get a few fixes and tweaks. If you felt your charging speeds took a hit following the move to OxygenOS 12, this update may help you out. Thechangelogsforall three familesofphonesalso mention improved call and overall system stability.
The update is only available for download in India for now, but a rollout for more regions should be starting soon. As usual, it will reach a small percentage of users initially, with a broader rollout to follow if all looks good.
