CEO Pete Lau also later confirmed that the updates will be delayed as developers need more time to work on the Android Pie update for these phones. OnePlus has also simultaneously begun testing of the HydrogenOS version of the company’s Android overlay. Both phones were launched on Android Marshmallow and have since received regular Android version updates bringing them up to Android Oreo. The company also began rolling out the Android Pie based OxygenOS Open Beta for the OnePlus 5 and 5T in January.
