Last week, OnePlus released the software update 5.1.7 with a fix for this vulnerability. However, the customers in India could not receive this update. As stated on their website,
“The 5.1.7 update will not be released for India region, as we’re still working on a fix based on the logs we’ve received from users who have reported these issues.”Nonetheless, the company promised to release another update soon for the customers worldwide.
“We’ll be releasing 5.1.8 update next week which will include the fix and also contain all the features included in the 5.1.7 update.”So now, as promised, they have released the update 5.1.8 carrying the features of 5.1.7 for Indian customers.
“This build also contains all the features included in the 5.1.7 update (for India region).”
“As always, this OTA will be incremental. The OTA will reach a small percentage of users today, and we'll begin a broader rollout in a few days.”They have made a similar announcement for the update 5.1.7 as well. It means the users will continue to receive these OxygenOS updates gradually. Whereas, the Indian OnePlus 6 users will receive the update 5.1.8, skipping the 5.1.7.
Alongside bug fixes, the update 5.1.8 offers a lot more improvements such as call quality optimization, fixes for system stability issues, network stability improvement, and general bug fixes.
