OnePlus had last year revealed its
Android 6.0 Marshmallow update schedule for its devices where it said that the OnePlus One running
Cyanogen OS will start receiving the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update in
the first quarter.
Now, the company's co-founder and public face Carl
Pei has confirmed that the Android Marshmallow for the OnePlus One was
in the final testing stages. Unfortunately, Pei didn't reveal the exact
time of arrival of Marshmallow update. He said, "Marshmallow for the One
is in the final testing stage. Can't give ETA as it depends on other
parties, but should be very soon."
OnePlus late last month started
rolling out near final build of OxygenOS 3.0 based on Android 6.0.1
Marshmallow to the OnePlus 2 users.
The company, ahead of the official release, wanted the
community's help to make sure it worked without "any remaining kinks"
before the official OTA update was made available to the general public.
OnePlus was seeking feedback on three aspects - Network Testing,
Camera, and Performance.
The new OxygenOS 3.0 build featured a
cleaner UI, easy access to different modes and settings, under the
camera department. Besides a new wallpaper picker, the update also
brought improvements in Shelf UX, fingerprint performance, and general
system performance. There were some changes made in the Settings section
as well. The old app permissions were replaced by new native Android
app permissions, Alert Slider was more customisable, and the Settings
Menu readability was improved. The Android security patches for March
also came as a part of OxygenOS 3.0.
