The T-Mobile operator version of the OnePlus 7T should have received the Android 12 update long ago. However, for some internal reasons, this update did not arrive. Nevertheless, users of this device can now smile as the update is now available. This three-year-old mobile phone has finally ushered in the Android 12-based OxygenOS 12 major version update. It usually takes longer for operators to upgrade and push the locked version of the system. In October last year, the unlocked version of the OnePlus 7T mobile phone pushed the Android 12 update.
T-Mobile has yet to officially announce the new Android 12 update for the OnePlus 7T, but some users have detected the firmware update. According to the changelog, the update comes with the December 2022 security patch. The firmware version number is HD1907_11_F.03, and the download capacity is close to 4GB. The OnePlus 7T McLaren Edition is still expected to be eligible for the Android 12 update, but it will take a while.
