OnePlus talks up Android 10 & Android 11 bugs/issues fixed in upcoming updates

Android 11’s market share is slowly but steadily increasing with each new device released and as various OEMs finally roll out Beta or stable builds of their Android 11 skins.

We have a dedicated Android 11 tracker that keeps tabs on all major OEMs and their journey to Android 11 for eligible devices.

OnePlus is doing a pretty decent job with regards to its Android 11-based OxygenOS 11. At the time of writing, OnePlus 8 series of devices had already been updated.

There’s also an unofficial OnePlus roadmap to Android 11 that goes to detail how the company plans to roll out this update to eligible devices.

Even as that happens, there are still a lot of issues dogging OnePlus devices running various versions of OxygenOS and HydrogenOS.

In the November 2020 FAQs for HydrogenOS, OnePlus goes to address some of the most pressing issues afflicting users of various OnePlus devices running Android 10 and even Android 11.

While this is meant for HydrogenOS users, it is safe to assume that many of these also apply to users of OxygenOS.

Please note that the following excerpts have been directly translated from Chinese.
