New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

OnePlus is on a roll this year with the launch of the critically acclaimed, OnePlus 7 Pro smartphone. The device is simply superb and the 90Hz refresh rate became the talk of the town after this device.

Several OEMs are now trying to bring in the 90Hz smooth refresh rate onto their devices. Taking it up a bit further, OnePlus has recently launched the OnePlus 7T and 7T pro devices.

They pack in very minute differences from their older generation devices. But indeed the company is trying to end the year on a high note. Moreover, OnePlus has rolled out the Android 10 update for its OnePlus 7 And 7 Pro while the 7T/7T Pro comes with it, out of the box.

OnePlus is one of those very few companies that pays similar attention to its older generation devices like the newer ones. And in a recent development, the OnePlus 6/6T is finally starting to receive the Android 10 update via Open Beta channel.

Note that a similar update was made available in China for the OnePlus 6/6T that brought in all the Android 10 goodies for the devices.
