Oxygen OS 12 is now available for the OnePlus 8, 8Pro, 8T, and 9R.

 

OnePlus appears to be having a busy weekend, as Oxygen OS 12 is now officially available and no longer in beta for four of the company's devices: the OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro, OnePlus 8T, and OnePlus 9R. OP8: IN2011 11.C.11 (IN), IN2015 11.C.11 (NA); OP8 Pro: IN2021 11.C.11 (IN), IN2025 11.C.11 (NA); OP8T: KB2001 11.C.11 (IN), KB2005 11.C.11 (NA); and OP9R: LE2101 11.C.14 (NA) (IN). All of these run Android 12 and, as far as we can determine, have the identical changelog:
