OnePlus acknowledges a stable update could wipe your OnePlus 8, 8 Pro

Posted on November 9, 2020 / by [email protected]_84 /

A stable Oxygen OS update is leading to a full data wipe of the OnePlus 8 series.
The problem affects OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro devices running Oxygen OS 11 open beta 3.
OnePlus has acknowledged the issue and has warned against upgrading.

OnePlus rolled out the stable Oxygen OS 11.0.1.1 update for the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro over the weekend. However, the software which followed Oxygen OS 11 open beta 3 is anything but stable. A number of open beta 3 users who received the update have reported that it’s causing a full data wipe of their phones.

Once the update is installed, users are asked to reboot their devices. When they do so, the data on their phones is completely wiped. Sadly, multiple users report that their phones were set to auto-update and they had no choice but to install the faulty software.

Here’s how to update OnePlus Buds on any device

OnePlus released its first set of true wireless earbuds earlier this year, known as OnePlus Buds. While we gave them decent marks for sound quality and value, we were quite upset to find that there was no way to update OnePlus Buds without a recent OnePlus phone.

In brief, you couldn’t deliver firmware updates to any of OnePlus’ true wireless earbuds without a OnePlus 6 or newer phone from the brand. Even the OnePlus 5T is unable to push firmware updates to the headphones, to say nothing about any phone not made by OnePlus.

Thankfully, the company is finally rectifying this silly decision. The solution is way overcomplicated, but at least anyone who wants to make the most of their OnePlus Buds or OnePlus Buds Z won’t need to own a OnePlus phone anymore!

a close up of a computer: OnePlus 8 beats OnePlus 8T in speed test video

OnePlus launched the OnePlus 8T with some incremental upgrades over its predecessor, the OnePlus 8. The new OnePlus 8T comes with a faster 120Hz display, a faster 65W charging brick, and an improved set of cameras. Both smartphones share the same Snapdragon 865 processor. Despite that, a speed test video conducted by a YouTube channel SpeedTest G shows that the OnePlus 8 is faster than the OnePlus 8T (First Impressions).

The OnePlus 8T vs OnePlus 8 speed test video runs a benchmark test that tests the CPU and GPU capabilities of the devices. Initially, the OnePlus 8T was leading by a couple of seconds over the OnePlus 8. However, at about 1.10 minutes into the video, the OnePlus 8 took over the lead from the OnePlus 8T during the GPU test. In the end, the OnePlus 8 came

OnePlus 8: Flagship quality at an affordable price

Posted on October 26, 2020 / by [email protected]_84 /

Smartphone manufacturers seem to be in a constant race to the top — at least when it comes to making the most expensive device around. However, price fatigue is finally giving way to the return of reasonably priced flagship competitors. OnePlus has always been a leading name in the category — including the OnePlus 8, and now Samsung is throwing its name in the ring too with the Galaxy S20 FE.

While it might make sense to compare the S20 FE and the all-new 8T, the original OnePlus 8 still packs a punch. With a new low price of $599, and eligible Verizon users getting the OnePlus 8 5G UW for as low as $10 a month, let’s pit the OnePlus 8 against the Galaxy S20 FE to see which device is worth your money.

OnePlus 9: What we want to see

Posted on October 25, 2020 / by [email protected]_84 /

It feels like we just got done with the launch of the OnePlus 8T. Rumors are already swirling, though, that the launch of the OnePlus 9 is coming much earlier than usual in 2021.

With the new rumors, we started thinking about what we’d like to see with the first 2021 flagship from OnePlus. The OnePlus 8 series faced a few setbacks that we hope get corrected. We also hope OnePlus will continue to push forward by offering innovative new features and design elements.

OnePlus has not-so-subtly revealed that the company’s first smartwatch is on the way. This isn’t OnePlus’ first crack at the wearable whip, it reportedly had a watch prototype developed in 2015 – early in the firm’s existence – but it ultimately decided against a release.

The important question is: what will the new device mean for major smartwatch rivals like Apple and Samsung? Quite a lot.

Google’s Pixel 5 has just landed, but is it any good? Watch my review here.

Before OnePlus released its wireless buds, I wrote about how the company’s focus on smart connectivity between its devices would be the key selling point.
