OnePlus 9, 9 Pro get Android 12-based OxygenOS update

After weeks of beta testing, OnePlus has begun rolling out Android 12-based OxygenOS to its premium phones OnePlus 9, 9 Pro in select regions including India.

The new OxygenOS 12 comes in 4.3GB in size and since it is being deployed in phases, it will take some time to reach all corners of the world.

Android 12 brings several new features including material design changes including personalised interface, security control shortcuts, privacy labels, and more.

The major noticeable change is the material design, where-in the phone's interface automatically blends with whatever wallpaper is chosen by the users. Even the notification shade, the lock screen, the volume controls, new widgets, and other aspects of the phone change to matching colors.
