OxygenOS 10.0 for OnePlus 6 Series: When Will You Receive it? Similar to every other update rollout from the house of OnePlus, the OxygenOS 10.0 for OnePlus 6 series is also a staged one. The OTA update will reach only a limited number of users today and will have a broader rollout in a few days. The reason behind the staged rollout is the company makes sure there are no critical bugs. It will take feedback from the users who received the update in the first batch. “Using VPN to download this build might not work as the rollout Is not based on regions and is randomly pushed out to a limited number of devices,” says OnePlus. A lot of OnePlus smartphone users connect to Germany server through a VPN app to receive the OTA update right away. But OnePlus says the trick may not work. Alternatively, users can download the Oxygen Update app from Google Play Store to check for the OxygenOS 10.0 update for OnePlus 6 and 6T smartphones.
