Gizchina News of the week
Unverified information suggests that this OTA comes with September’s security patch but this is hardly believable as many smartphones are already receiving the November Security patch. In addition, it also brings fixes for KRACK Wi-Fi vulnerability. According to OnePlus, only a few units will receive the update today and others will follow subsequently. Its words
“As always, this OTA will be incremental. The OTA will reach a small percentage of users today, and we’ll begin a broader rollout in a few days.”
