One month ago, OnePlus unveiled its usual T variant in the form of OnePlus 8T. Unlike previous years, this year we won’t have the Pro variant for the T-series. So, the OnePlus 8T has the hard task of conquering alone new fans for the OnePlus ecosystem. The new device sits as a “mid-brother” for the OnePlus 8 family and brings incremental upgrades over the vanilla model. However, it outperforms both devices when we’re talking about fast-charging capabilities. The 8T is the first device to ship with 65W fast-charging straight out of the box. An interesting fact about the OnePlus 8T is that it is the first OnePlus phone to come with OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11 straight out of the box. As usual, OnePlus wants to keep good software support for this device. The device already received multiple updates and today is receiving a new patch with some bug fixes and general improvements.
The new update brings OxygenOS 11.0.4.5 build number and according to the company it comes to fix an NFC related issue. However, there are additional improvements to make calls more stable. In fact, the update is quite similar to the last one, so it seems to be just an incremental build over the last release with some hotfixes. Worth noting that despite being released in mid-November, the update does not bring this month’s security patch. Instead, users will still have to deal with the October 2020 security patch released on the previous build. For more details about this update, you can check the changelog below.
