On October 30, the OnePlus story continues with the next chapter as the OnePlus 6T is expected to be unveiled. Not only will we see new features such as a smaller waterdrop notch and an in-display fingerprint scanner (Screen Unlock), the phone is going to ship with Android 9 Pie out of the box. That's the word from OnePlus CEO Pete Lau, who wrote in a post on his Weibo account that his company's new phone will be pre-installed with the latest Android build, along with an improved version of the company's OxygenOS UI.
OnePlus UX lead Szymon K recently said in a company forum that the new UI is a "fast, smooth & burden-less experience with no gimmicks." He added that it be "the most distinct and intuitive version of OxygenOS yet."It includes a gesture based navigation system and adaptive battery support, which allows users to limit access to the battery for apps not used frequently.
OnePlus recently pushed out Android 9 Pie to its current handset, the OnePlus 6. Lau says that the Android 9 Pie update for the OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 3 series has been delayed as more work is needed to perfect it.
