Notably, the update was released for a limited number of users, as it was a beta rollout that’s why the brand allowed only a limited number of participants. But here the question comes, when will the OnePlus 7 series owners will get the stable version of Android 12?
For some devices like the OnePlus 10 Pro, the company has even released the Android 13-based OxygenOS 13 update with new optimization options. Whereas, for some users like the OnePlus 7 series, the Android 12 is still a dream that they want to experience.
When OnePlus release stable Android 12 (OxygenOS 12) for the OnePlus 7 series
Many OnePlus 7 series users are questioning on OnePlus Community whether their smartphone will be able to experience the offerings of stable Android 12-based OxygenOS 12. But the only response they are getting is that the update is under process.
The update is under process is good, but for how many more days, already the OnePlus 7 series users have waited for a long time. But, OnePlus is not making any official announcement about the release of Android 12, nor it is clearing the reason behind this delay.
We expect the company to roll out the stable update for the OnePlus 7 series, at least before the stable release of Android 13. So that the users could experience the latest offerings and features of the OxygenOS 12 OS as they are only limited to that.
Reason behind this delay of Android 12 (OxygenOS 12) for the OnePlus 7 series
The reason behind this delay of the update can be the stability and reliability of the OS, I think the company is ensuring its ability and durability at its fullest. Because the Android 12 based OxygenOS 12 could be the last update for the OnePlus 7 series device owners.
Will the OnePlus 7 series receive the offerings of Android 13 (OxygenOS 13)
On the other hand, users of the OnePlus 7 series are even asking will their device is eligible to get the Android 13-based OxygenOS 13 update, or if they are limited to Android 12. Notably, the OnePlus models OnePlus 7/7T and 7 Pro came repacked on Android 10.
If we follow the OnePlus software update policy OnePlus 7 and 7T series smartphone is eligible for two major upgrades which include OxygenOS 11 with Android 11 and OxygenOS 12 with Android 12. Since the smartphones came out of the box with Android 10 so it is not eligible for the OxygenOS 13 upgrade.
