The beta version ofAndroid Pie has been available on theOnePlus 6 for a while now, but it looks like the Chinese brand is finally ready to launch the finished product.
According to a press release sent by OnePlus’s German PR agency, the firm is now rolling out Android Pie to the OnePlus 6. The agency also lists a few features enabled by the update, such as gesture navigation, an upgraded “do not disturb” mode with customizable settings, and a new “gaming mode 3.0.”
The agency hasn’t clarified any other release details, such as countries receiving the update and associated timelines. We haven’t seen any confirmation from OnePlus on social media, either, so this could potentially be a German rollout only.
Either that or someone jumped the gun on the press release. German tech media has picked up the news but we’ve yet to see any evidence that any users have actually received the update.

OnePlus isn’t the first OEM to deliver the update either, as the Essential Phonereceived Pie on the day the update was launched. The update has also made its way to Google’sPixel andPixel 2 series, of course.
We’ve contacted OnePlus to get some clarity on the situation, and will update the article if/when we receive a response.
