OnePlus promised to push-out its Android 7.0 Nougat update to OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T before the end of the year and the company kept that promise when, on the last day of 2016, Carl Pei, co-founder of OnePlus, Â confirmed when smartphone owners could expect the new mobile operating system to drop.
OxygenOS 4.0, which is build on the latest version of Google’s mobile operating system, started to roll-out in the final hours of 2016.
There are a number of new features included in software update, including a brand-new notifications and settings menu design. OnePlus has also tweaked the multi-window view, following the bump up to Android 7.0 Nougat.
OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T owners will also be able to action and reply to messages from within the notification itself – a first for OxygenOS.
Pei wrote on the  company blog:
“For those who were on previous versions for the OnePlus 3, we appreciate your active feedback and attempts to reach out to us.
“With your help, we have been able to better optimise and improve several key areas.
Thank you for your patience and as always, we look forward to hearing your continued feedback.”
According to OnePlus, the software upgrade will become available to users via an over-the-air update.
The company is planning a staggered roll-out, so it might take a few days for the update to appear on your device.
To check for updates on your OnePlus 3 or OnePlus 3T, navigate to Settings > System Updates > Check For Updates.
Those who cannot wait for the over-the-air update to drop on their device can manually download the Android 7.0 update and sideload it onto your device.
