The OnePlus 8/8 Pro and OnePlus 8T are getting simultaneous updates — OxygenOS 11.0.5.5 and 11.0.8.11 respectively — that add a laundry list of fixes plus the March 2021 security patches.
We’ve been critical of OnePlus’ update track record as of late, but maybe this is the sign of the firm turning over a new leaf? The jury is still out but with just a day or so to spare the March 2021 security patch is arriving for the OnePlus 8 and 8T series with the OxygenOS 11.0.8.11 and 11.0.5.5 updates. This isn’t the only notable, as the changelogs are almost identical, with plenty of attention paid to problems facing owners.
To summarize the main fixes that OxygenOS 11.0.8.11 and 11.0.5.5 resolve, if you’ve had problems with the navigation gesture sensitivity, expanded screenshot, keyboard double taps, lock screen voice assistant activation, the 4K CINE profile in the camera app, or the alarm clock, then these OTAs should help resolve all of those problems. You can check out the abridged changelog for both OnePlus 8 series devices below:

However, you can always check Oxygen Updater and sideload the OxygenOS 11.0.8.11 and 11.0.5.5 patches manually if you prefer.
