Back in July, OnePlus released the OxygenOS 12 open beta update for its 2019 flagship smartphones, the OnePlus 7 and the OnePlus 7T. Now, after three months, the Chinese smartphone maker has started rolling the stable Android 12-based OxygenOS 12 software update for the OnePlus 7 series. Though OnePlus is yet to confirm the availability of the Android 12 update for the OnePlus 7 lineup, several users took to the community forum to confirm the arrival of stable OxygenOS 12.

The new software update brings in all the features of Android 12 features and some new enhanced changes which OnePlus has baked in its custom OxygenOS 12 software version.
