OnePlus has started delivering the December 2021 Android security patches to the OnePlus 8, 8 Pro, and the Nord 2 with new OxygenOS updates.

Update 1 (12/28/2021 @ 14:35 ET): OnePlus is rolling out OxygenOS 11.0.12.12/11.0.11.11 for the OnePlus 8T with the December 2021 security patch. The changelog is the same as the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro.

OnePlus has started rolling out OxygenOS 11.0.10.10 to the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. The update follows the OxygenOS 11.0.9.9 release, which introduced the October 2021 security patches to the device duo. The latest build, on the other hand, brings the December 2021 security patches and a couple of little, but important fixes. The OnePlus Nord 2 has also picked up a new OxygenOS stable update in the form of A.15 with the latest set of Android security patches.

As a customary practice, OnePlus is rolling out the updates in a staged fashion, so it will only reach a handful of users at first. Once the company confirms that there aren’t any major issues with the update, it should start rolling out to more users. Notably, the OnePlus 8T hasn't received any new update yet, although it is usually serviced alongside the regular 8 series.
