OxygenOS 14 for Oneplus 8 & 8T

OnePlus has in the past announced a new update policy for its smartphones, OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro were among those happy users who were excited about OxygenOS 14 but sadly, it looks like these devices will soon be considered under the EOL (End of Life) category after a few months from now.

After the announcement of the OxygenOS 14 Close Beta tester for the OnePlus 8T, it has now been confirmed that the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro will be left behind in the race for software updates. Below, you can check out a screenshot from the Oneplus community about the requirement for Close Beta testers for the OnePlus 8T.

Generally, the company releases the updates together for the entire OnePlus 8 Series including Oneplus 8T but this time Oneplus announced the closed beta program for Oneplus 8T excluding Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro. Oneplus 8T might get the OxygenOS 14 stable build next year depending on how the close beta testing and open beta testing programs go. But it’s confirmed that Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro users won’t get OxygenOS 14.

Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro were released in the month of April 2020. So as per the even new policy OnePlus 9 Series and Oneplus 8 Series will only get three years of major OS updates and four years of security updates. So the Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro which were released in April 2020 already received three major OS updates; now they will only receive security patches before they are considered under EOL (End of Life) category. But Oneplus 8T was released in the month of October 2023 so that just completed three years. But before October, we already had a few OxygenOS 14 builds for higher-end Oneplus smartphones, so technically, Oneplus 8T should get OxygenOS 14, not Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro. How many of you guys have Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro? Let us know below.

Why OxygenOS is a Favorite for Its Speed and Simplicity

OxygenOS 14 based Android 14

OxygenOS has a more loyal fanbase for its cleanliness and productivity. It always gives a stock Android feeling experience which attracted many people to buy OnePlus phones for a Fast and fluid Experience

OxygenOS began its life as a clean and fast alternative to CyanogenMod, the custom ROM used on early OnePlus devices. Born from the ashes of a failed partnership, OxygenOS quickly established itself as a fan favorite, offering a near-stock Android experience with just enough customization to satisfy power users.

Through various major updates, OxygenOS introduced features like parallel apps, gesture navigation, and a dark mode, all while maintaining its reputation for performance and responsiveness. However, 2021 marked a turning point, with OnePlus merging OxygenOS with Oppo’s ColorOS after Carl Pei left the company.

This controversial decision has sparked concerns about the future of OxygenOS’s unique identity and focus on user experience. While the full impact of the merger remains to be seen, it’s clear that OxygenOS has undergone a significant transformation in its journey from underdog custom ROM to mainstream Android skin.

OxygenOS will remain one of the most beloved pieces of software in OnePlus history.
