The company has been actively pushing out software updates for its devices, along with the Android P Beta update as well for their current flagship, the OnePlus 6. That being said, the Chinese giant hasn’t forgotten about its other devices and has now pushed out the latest update for their older devices as well.
As announced in an official blog post, OnePlus has now started the incremental roll-out of OxygenOS 5.0.4 for the OnePlus 3 & the OnePlus 3T.
