OnePlus 5, OnePlus 5T Getting Android 10 Update: User Reports

In the world of Android, not all smartphones are created equally when it comes to “major” software updates. While most OEMs will guarantee you two years of software support, at least, sometimes, someone comes up and bucks the trend. Like OnePlus. OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T users have been taking to OnePlus forums to report that their phones are now receiving the Android 10 update, though OnePlus is yet to make any formal announcement.

OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T getting the Android 10 update is impressive since both these phones launched in 2017 with Android 7.1 Nougat. That’s three major software updates, something that’s rare (but surely not unheard of), in the Android world. The Android 10 update for the OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T, as per user postings, is almost 2GB in size and brings with it both core Android 10 and many custom OnePlus features.

Android 10 update for OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T notably brings full screen gesture controls to these phones, in addition to improved privacy tabs including more granular controls vis-a-vis location, microphone and cameras. A more in-depth system-wide dark mode will also be available on the OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T phones post the Android 10 update. Custom OnePlus software chops include game space, enhanced spam filtering in messages, and revamped camera smarts.
