[ORIGINAL ARTICLE: DECEMBER 18, 2020]
OnePlus has postponed the Android 11-based HydrogenOS 11 update release plan for the OnePlus 7 and 7T series from Mid-December 2020.
According to the official post on the OnePlus forum in China, OnePlus is currently working with Qualcomm‘s technical team to fix the current issue related to processors. The chipmaker is expected to come up with a solution this week.
If all goes well, the company will start the closed beta program this month and open the public beta program in the coming weeks/months. Check the official response below (translated).
Because of the OnePlus 7 & 7T series upgrade to Android 11, the problem of data decryption failure after the upgrade was encountered. This problem prevented us from reaching the original plan for the 7 series to adapt to Android 11. We are working with Qualcomm’s technical team to strive for a solution as soon as possible. After negotiation, Qualcomm is expected to provide a solution within this week. If it goes well, we will start the closed beta this month and open the public beta as soon as possible in the future.
