OnePlus cancels Oreo update for OnePlus 5 due to a bug in Oxygen 5.0

The famed flagship killer from China, OnePlus recently announced that OnePlus 5 is getting Android Oreo beta update along with Oxygen OS 5.0.

“Because of a bug on Oxygen 5.0, we have canceled its global release. And we’re preparing for Oxygen 5.0.1, the partial release will go live soon.”

However, the company has promised for a partial release of OxygenOS 5.0.1, which go live very soon.

OnePlus has a unique way of using its customized version of Android called Oxygen OS for its devices. The over the air update of the OS then allows the company to provide users with the latest modified version of Android.
