by Selva Kumar A Leave a Comment

Stock Android is better to compare with other Mobile Manufacturer Custom Skin OS. But, In the case of Oxygen OS, It is wise optimized near Stock Android. I love this OS. When another manufacturer blindly added some bloatware apps and optimizations, OnePlus Always better with their Oxygen OS. They May be follow 45-60 Days updates. But, the upgrade is worthy.  OnePlus 6 comes with the Oreo version. Where the T version of this model comes with Pie version, both mobiles are now receiving Official Android 10 after some beta versions roll out. There are plenty of real features added in this version. Yes, Unlike some UI tweaks, These versions added some features like Privacy enhancements, Performance level Improvements. You can always update your mobile using the Software update option. If you can’t do that, try with the OnePlus Updater App. When those auto methods fail, work with below manual processes. If you are a root user, who is using Custom Recovery, follow TWRP based process.

This is one of the most critical steps taken from their side. It will help all the users who are tired of their Manufacturer Late updates.

Final Words

If you are in Stock firmware, Use the Internal memory update method. It is comfortable and safe; You can update like a Regular OTA Update. But if you were already using Rooted devices, You can try TWRP based Method. Don’t download any third-party apps; sometimes, it may trigger the updates process. There are a lot of new Gestures available in this Update, try them also. In my opinion, OnePlus 6/6T near Stock Android is better to compare with some other Custom Skin OS. So try to use this OS instead of a Custom OS. But the decision is your choice…:)
