This story is being continuously updated…. New updates are being added at the bottom…..

Original story (from May 26) follows:

OnePlus has been known for sticking to builds that are as close to Stock Android as possible. Early OnePlus devices ran on CyanogenOS, an aftermarket firmware based on AOSP. Today, OxygenOS is arguably one of the best Android skins. Its latest iteration, OxygenOS 10 is no different.

No wonder developers are porting builds of OxygenOS onto other devices, just to bring the look and feel of this operating system to more devices. Today OnePlus is rolling out OxygenOS 10 to two of its devices, its 2017 devices, the OPnePlus 5 and the OnePlus 5T.
