Oneplus 6 Oxygen OS updates & Project Treble

[hltbest]

Hi guys, Im currently the owner of a Nexus 6P looking for an upgrade. Im torn between the Pixel 2 XL and OnePlus 6!

I love the quick software updates on the pixel line but i've heard that OnePlus is pretty good at getting updates out and with Android 8.1 bringing project treble would it be right to assume the updates could be even faster in the future?

How does oxygen OS compare to stock android? Have people with 5Ts had quick updates?

Thanks

Hey buddy,

I'm currently on the OnePlus 5 and have had it since launch. It's my first OP phone and won't be my last.

In terms of updates, I would say OnePlus is one of the best out there (at least in the first year of a phones release). Having said that, the OP3/T seem to have had pretty decent updates in their second year with them getting an Oreo 8.0 beta before the OP5/T!

With treble being mandatory on any new phone now, it will be there and their release cycle will no doubt be impacted by it. I can only assume this will be to our (as consumers) benefit.

If you want the fastest updates out there after / in line with Pixel then the main other contender is Nokia. They are doing all of the monthly security updates and sometimes before they come to the Pixel phones.

Well it's great to see the OnePlus 6 is being released with the Android P Beta program! Makes me confident that OnePlus will have fast updates due to project treble!!
