Few companies offer better values than OnePlus. Its devices pack flagship-tier specs and performance for hundreds less than comparable phones from companies like Samsung and Google — often making them some of the best Android phones you can buy. Luckily, OnePlus also has a good track record for software updates. If you have a OnePlus device, updating your software is easy — here's how.
How to update the software on your OnePlus phone

Once your phone finishes rebooting, it'll be updated to the latest software from OnePlus. In some cases, your phone may continue updating in the background, displaying a progress bar in your notification shade while allowing you to still use your phone during the process. Things may look a bit different if you're running OxygenOS 11, but the core steps remain identical. Whether you have a OnePlus 8T or something older, grab that new software and have fun with it!
The best deal on a flagship-tier phone
As far as smartphone values go, the OnePlus 8T is one of the better ones out there. For a fraction of what other flagships will cost you, the 8T delivers a stunning 90Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 865 processor, and four rear cameras. You'll be hard-pressed to find a better deal.
