OnePlus seem to be having a busy weekend since news just dropped on the community forum that Oxygen OS 12 is officially our and no longer in beta for four of the company's devices - OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro, OnePlus 8T and OnePlus 9R. The package names are as follows: OP8: IN2011_11.C.11 (IN), IN2015_11.C.11 (NA); OP8 Pro: IN2021_11.C.11 (IN), IN2025_11.C.11 (NA); OP8T: KB2001_11.C.11 (IN), KB2005_11.C.11 (NA) and OP9R: LE2101_11.C.14 (IN). All of these are based on Android 12, and as far as we can tell, share the same changelog:
The OTA packages have begun a staged rollout in the OBT (open beta test) branch and should be coming to the stable branch shortly. You can hit up the source link, which leads to the OnePlus community forum and browse the corresponding thread for further info on the updates themselves.
OnePlus 8 Pro OxygenOS 12 update screen
As for OxygenOS 12, you can read our in-depth review of what is probably the most polarizing iteration of the OnePlus Android flavor to come out in years. As a quick refresher, in case you missed some key recent events, OxygenOS 12 had to be pulled after a flood of bug reports and various issues from its initial rollout on OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro phones. The update has since been fixed and is rolling out again for the pair of devices, but without addressing the more serious underlying cause for much of the user and fan unrest and commotion.
Last year OnePlus and Oppo decided to complicate their relationship yet again, seemingly in an effort to keep it as increasingly ambiguous as possible by announcing that the OnePlus OxygenOS and Oppo's ColorOS would merge into a unified operating system. One that was supposed to even get its own new name but just ended up being timidly referred to as "OnePlus 2.0".
The most recent development in the saga mostly overturns this unification plan, with OnePlus and Oppo announcing last month that instead of merging the OS flavors, they will share a unified codebase and RnD but remain separate and retain the particular approach to UX and UI their respective users have come to expect. Which, for OnePlus and presumably OxygenOS 13, means a return to a cleaner, AOSP-like feel.
Unfortunately, before that happens, Oxygen 12 is still pretty messy in more than a few ways and kind of a random mix between OnePlus and Oppo elements. Then again, we are far from the final authority on the matter, and you might just find OxygenOS 12 perfectly pleasant yourself. You can likely expect a taste shortly as the OTA reaches your device. And if you're not happy, OnePlus does provide instructions to roll back.
Upgraded mine in the spring. Update was garbage. I finally downgraded in July. Some how I accidently hit a pop up that came up to update again and it downloaded OS12. Then after a random reboot weeks later that I avoided it was back to 12. I'm...
