OnePlus is delaying the rollout of the latest update to its
OxygenOS Android skin.
The over-the-air update, which improves camera functions and
applies the latest security patches from Google, among other features, started
yesterday and was originally expected to be available to all OnePlus users by
tomorrow.
It's unclear exactly what prompted OnePlus to suspend the
update, nor when the rollout will resume. A spokesperson did not immediately
respond to a request for comment, though the company posted on its support
forum that "[d]ue to some reports of issues while upgrading, we are
temporarily stopping the rollout to investigate. We will start back up as soon
as possible."
In addition to camera upgrades and security enhancements,
OnePlus says the latest OxygenOS will improve the performance of its phones'
memory and GPS. OxygenOS, introduced last year, is a modified version of
Android. (In the case of the OnePlus 3, it's Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow).
It offers OnePlus owners an unobtrusively distinctive look
and feel that matches their hardware, though PCMag's Sascha Segan found it to
be otherwise pointless in his review of the unlocked OnePlus 3.
"It mostly consists of a bunch of tweaks and extra
customizations that you can ignore if you like," he wrote.
Meanwhile, UK residents interested in buying a OnePlus 3
will have to act fast if they want to snag one at the current price of 309
pounds ($411). The company claims the economic fallout of the UK's decision to
leave the European Union has forced it to raise the price to 329 pounds
starting July 11.
The US version phone has a suggested price of $399, but it
currently retails for around $460 online.
