Unverified information suggests that this OTA comes withĀ Septemberā€™s security patch but this is hardly believable as many smartphones are already receiving the November Security patch. In addition, it also brings fixes forĀ KRACK Wi-Fi vulnerability. According to OnePlus, only a few units will receive the update today and others will follow subsequently. Its words

“As always, this OTA will be incremental. The OTA will reach a small percentage of users today, and we’ll begin a broader rollout in a few days.”
