OnePlus has rolled out the latest build of OxygenOS 12 for the OnePlus 9R and OnePlus 8 series. This update improves upon the previous version by including better battery performance and some bug fixes.

Back in March, the brand had released the first stable build of Android 12-based  OxygenOS 12 to the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 9R. However, various users faced issues with the March build, such as a malfunctioning fingerprint scanner, disappearing notifications, and battery drain. The company’s latest build promises to fix issues with the battery, and will hopefully correct other issues as well.    

The new OxygenOS 12 stable update bearing build number C.16 for the OnePlus 8, 8 Pro, 8T, and the OnePlus 9R has started rolling out in a phased manner worldwide. You can expect the following change with latest update, as per the changelog:
