August 8 – Initial story: Will the OnePlus 8T Get Android 14-based OxygenOS 14 Update?

Android 14 is almost ready for the stable debut, as the company has released the beta 4.1 software update, and many OnePlus devices will receive it through the OxygenOS 14 update. On the other hand, recently, OnePlus has started rolling out the OxygenOS 14 closed beta update for the OnePlus 11 in India.

Well, OnePlus has already stopped support for major software updates and monthly security updates for the OnePlus 7 and 7T series. And it looks like the OnePlus 8 series is the next to lose major software support.

Last year, OnePlus expanded its update policy for OxygenOS to guarantee four major Android upgrades with five years of security patches for selected flagship models in 2023. Through it, the Chinese tech giant aims to bring users longer-lasting and more stable intelligent experiences by continuing to build on OxygenOS.

Furthermore, the tech maker has updated the OnePlus 8T with OxygenOS 11.1, OxygenOS 12, OxygenOS 12.1 and will receive OxygenOS 13 in November 2022, and currently, the phone runs OxygenOS 13.1 based on Android 13.

The latest version of OxygenOS 13.1 brings all the new features that Google has introduced in the latest Android 13 operating system. On the other hand, this major update brings a new design philosophy and aquamorphic design, which provides an easier and faster way to manage your device.
