OnePlus 6T starts receiving OxygenOS 9.0.6, optimises screen unlock feature

Less than a month after release, the OnePlus 6T smartphones have started to receive a new OxygenOS 9.0.6 update over-the-air. A OnePlus team member first notified about the release of the update on a company forum. As the official thread points out, “This OTA will have a staged rollout. The OTA will be received by a limited number of users today and will have a broader rollout in a few days after making sure there are no critical bugs. Using VPN to download this build might not work as the rollout is not based on regions and is randomly pushed out to a limited number of devices.” [caption id=“attachment_5481371” align=“alignnone” width=“1024”]  The OnePlus 6T starts at a price of Rs 37,990.

So, if you are a T-Mobile variant users you will have to wait for a bit longer. Though it’s ideal to wait for the official rollout, however, if you intend to sideload the update manually, you can refer to  this link.

The OxygenOS 9.0.6 comes days after the previous one, which brought with it a slew of odd bugs.
