The company has upgraded the Android security patch level to December with this update to ensure that the software is updated to add the latest patches from Google.

The company announced the rollout in a detailed post on its OnePlus Forums providing us with a changelog to inform about all the changes. Other smartphone competitors like Samsung, LG, HTC and others are still testing out the beta version of their Oreo-based updates. The company has confirmed that like all previous updates, this rollout will also be incremental. This means the OS will reach a small percentage of users today, and the company will begin a broader rollout over the next few days.
