OnePlus 6 devices in the UK starting to get Android 9 Pie
- If you live in the United Kingdom and own a OnePlus 6, Android 9 Pie is rolling your way.
- Although the OxygenOS version number is 9.0.01, it appears to be the same changelog as regular 9.0.
- If you’re impatient and don’t want to wait for the OTA, you can download it directly from OnePlus.
Certain areas of the world already have a OnePlus 6 Android 9 Pie update, including the United States. However, we just received word from OnePlus that the Android 9 Pie update is rolling out now to OnePlus 6 devices in the United Kingdom.
The OxygenOS version number of the update is 9.0.01, slightly different than the 9.0 version which launched a few weeks ago. However, the changelogs appear identical so it’s likely there aren’t too many substantial differences between 9.0 and 9.0.01.
The update weighs about 1.5GB.
If you would like to check for the update, unlock your OnePlus 6 and go to Settings > System Updates. Once there, tap the “Check for Updates” button and you should see the update begin to download.
If that doesn’t work for you, you have two options: wait for the rollout to hit you, or manually download and install the update.
Manually downloading and installing the update is fairly simple. First, head to this link using your OnePlus 6 and download the software. Go back to System Updates (Settings > System Updates) and tap the gear icon in the top right corner. Choose “Local Upgrade,” find the .ZIP file you downloaded, and then select “Install.”
This is a standard upgrade so your data should be safe. However, it’s always a good idea to perform a backup before making any substantial changes to your phone, just in case.
