OxygenOS 11.0.2.1 for OnePlus 7 series changelog

OxygenOS 11.0.2.1 for the OnePlus 7 series is an incremental update that has been rolled out for Indian, North American, and European regions. As per the changelog shared on the official forum, the update brings a few system improvements such as reduced power consumption and improved overheating control management.

Some users were experiencing crashes with the File Manager app and this issue has been fixed as well. In terms of camera fixes, the blurry camera issue when shooting in fullscreen has been fixed and the overall stability of the camera has been improved as well. Lastly, the Dialer UI display effect has been optimised.

As is the case with software updates, this is a staged rollout that will first be received by a limited number of users to check stability. After making sure there are no critical bugs, it will be pushed to a broader audience. If you have not received the update yet, wait for a few days and it should pop up. OnePlus has also said that using a VPN to download the update may not work as the rollout is not based on regions.
