OnePlus is known for its ability to roll out consistent software updates. With this announcement, it becomes one of the early smartphone makers to work along with Google to make use of the latest iteration of Android. The company did the same with the OnePlus 5 and 5T and these were among the first devices to get the Android Oreo update.

The company claims that over 135,000 community members have already signed up to receive the upcoming flagship killer via The Lab program. Also, interested users can try the latest Android update on the soon to be launched smartphone by visiting the dedicated webpage on the company's official site.
