T-Mobile OnePlus 6T Android 11 Oxygen OS 11

Earlier this year, OnePlus concluded the Open Beta program for OnePlus 6/6T and released a stable version of Android 11 based on Oxygen OS 11 for the international variant. After nearly 3 months, T-Mobile has stepped in and finally released Android 11 for OnePlus 6T in the United States.

Software updates for smartphones in the United States are very much dependent on the network carriers. Thatโ€™s the main reason why OTA updates. Carriers like T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, Verizon release custom software updates for their supported smartphones. OnePlus 6T is one such cell phone which is now receiving Oxygen OS 11 based on Android 11 today.

Furthermore, another reason for the delay could be that the first stable update wasnโ€™t stable at all. The manufacturer later had to release a HotFix update for OnePlus 6 and 6T devices with firmware build Oxygen OS 11.1.1.1.

Todayโ€™s update for T-Mobile OnePlus 6T features all the Android 11 goodies. You get Oxygen OS 11 features with a revamped user interface, updated OnePlus apps; especially the updated OnePlus camera app with new UX. It also brings the newer security patch level from October 2021.

For the first time, Ambient Display makes its way to the OnePlus 6 and 6T. You can access it from Settings > Customization > Clock on ambient display. Checkout the complete changelog from below.
