OnePlus 6T Latest Updates
T-Mobile is rolling out its first OnePlus 6T update. Android Police spotted the upgrade, which comes with build number A6013_34_181029, over the weekend. T-Mobile has yet to add it to its own updates page.
The new software improves the Nightscape camera mode, which helps the 6T shoot in low-light, and the screen unlock — optimizations seen in the Oxygen v9.0.4 update OnePlus rolled out at the end of October. The in-display fingerprint sensor algorithm has also been updated, but we don’t know exactly in which way (presumably increases speed and/or accuracy).
The T-Mobile update includes the November security updates too, along with a new quick switch gesture in Gesture Mode 2.0.
The software remains a couple of versions behind the unlocked OnePlus 6T variant on OxygenOS 9.0.1, despite the incorporation of some 9.0.4 elements. Based on this rollout, it looks like T-Mobile OnePlus 6T updates might follow two-to-three weeks behind the unlocked ones.
Consult the table below to see the latest available OxygenOS versions for the unlocked and T-Mobile variants:
| T-Mobile | Unlocked | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest Update Date | November 19, 2018 | November 6, 2018 |
| Latest Update Version | OxygenOS v9.0.0 | OxygenOS v9.0.5 |
| Android Base | Android 9 Pie | Android 9 Pie |
