We all know that OnePlus 2 (Once a flagship) won't be getting Android Oreo or even Android Nougat. But the company is now rolling out a new update with the latest security patches to the OnePlus 2.

If you own a OnePlus 2 you should have received the over-the-air update notification for October Security Patch, and it's crucial that you download it, as it brings along the fix for the critical severity vulnerability in media framework that could enable a remote attacker using a specially crafted file to execute arbitrary code within the context of a privileged process.

Additionally, this update also comes with WPA2 WiFi vulnerability "KRACK" Fix. The Key Reinstallation Attacks (A.K.A KRACKs) was first discovered by Mathy Vanhoef of imec-DistriNet, KU Leuven. It’s a WiFi vulnerability that breaks WPA2 by forcing nonce reuse.

If you haven't got the notification of this new software update yet, Just go to Settings - About Phone - Software updates, and It will automatically start downloading the latest update. The update will take around 10-15 minutes to get Installed on your device. Stay tuned to our Facebook and Twitter page to get the first News.

Just a few weeks back OnePlus released the first Android 8.0 Oreo based OxygenOS Beta for the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T. However, that build was having tons of bugs and was not suitable for daily usage.

Now, the Chinese smartphone firm has released a new bug fixing update to the Oreo based OxygenOS Beta. The OnePlus 3T receives OxygenOS Beta 17, and the OnePlus 3's version is OxygenOS Beta 26.

With Android 8.0 Oreo Beta for OnePlus 3/3T, you'll get new Settings and Notification panel UI, latest features including Picture in Picture (PIP), Adaptive icons, Autofill, Notification timeout, and new emojis.

With the new OxygenOS Beta, OnePlus has added the Feedback app which lets your send the bug reports, Wifi and Data connectivity is now improved, NFC and Picture In Picture now works without any issue.

Note that most major aspects of the phone are working as expected but fingerprint actions may be slower than you are used to, and 3rd party apps might not work as expected.

OnePlus has already confirmed that the "Flagship Killer" OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T won't be getting any major OS updates after Android Oreo. You can download the OxygenOS beta based on Android Oreo from the below link.

 By Vaibhav Jain on October 26, 2017       

There's no denying the fact that OnePlus is working on next generation Smartphone. Already there are couple of leaks and rumors regarding the OnePlus 5T.

Recently Android Authority with a teaser Image confirmed that the OnePlus 5T is real and coming late November. Today we have the first Live Image of the OnePlus 5T and it looks beautiful.
