OnePlus 3 & 3T Now Receiving Android 7.0 Nougat-Based OxygenOS 4.0 Update

In November, OnePlus announced that it would roll out the Android Nougat update for OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T users before the year ends. Meeting the deadline by a thin margin, OnePlus CEO Carl Pei on Saturday said the stable release of OxygenOS 4.0 based on Android 7.0 Nougat has started to roll out to users.

The Android 7.0 Nougat-based OxygenOS 4.0 update is being pushed out over-the-air and will reach all users over the coming days. The company is calling it an "incremental rollout", implying that it will roll out in batches, and only a few users will receive it on the first day, while others should receive it over the course of the next few days. The company also announced the rollout on its forum.

The update is not based on the latest Android 7.1.1 Nougat, but rather on Android 7.0 Nougat. The changelog includes better shelf customisation, new notifications and settings design, multi-window view, support for direct reply of notifications, custom DPI support, and the ability to choose status bar icons. This update also makes Quick Launch available to third-party apps.

With this update, the OnePlus 3 and the OnePlus 3T now run on the same software. The changelog for both device updates is the same as below:

• Upgraded to Android 7.0 Nougat
• New Notifications Design
• New Settings Menu Design
• Multi-Window View
• Notification Direct Reply
• Custom DPI Support
• Added Status Bar Icon Options
• Improved Shelf Customization

Again, the update is rolling out to a few today, a few more tomorrow, and then should increase each day until everyone has it. For those with a OnePlus 3T, if you don’t want to wait and instead just want to flash the beta manually, hit up this link.
