Android 9 Pie for OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T Users

Ever since the launch of its latest flagship phone the OnePlus 6T, the Chinese OEM has focused majorly on rolling out updates for its users of the newest smartphone. With the phone already out in the market, the manufacturer has pushed three software updates and is also on the task of bettering the experience of Android 9 Pie on the OnePlus 6T. However, in this pursuit, OnePlus has kept the OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T users on the sidelines, thus delaying the rollout of the Android 9 Pie based OxygenOS update for these users.

On the other hand, the company released the HydrogenOS Open Beta based on Android 9 Pie last week in China for OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T users. Going by the past trends of the company, usually, the rollout of HydrogenOS and OxygenOS remains a week apart. However, there has been an unprecedented delay in the rollout for the OxygenOS this time. Given that the HydrogenOS and the OxygenOS differ a lot and the former comes with all the features of the operating system barring the Google Play Services and other Google related apps on the phone, a sight delay also seems inevitable
