Oneplus 3 (T): How to get the Android update

Software updates often bring new functions to your smartphone. This practical tip shows you how to update your Oneplus 3 (T) earlier on Oreo.

Get Oneplus update earlier - how it works

• Most smartphone manufacturers roll out their updates in zones. This means that devices in selected countries get the updates earlier than smartphones elsewhere.
• This has the advantage that errors in an update can be recognized and corrected earlier. In addition, critical errors would only affect a smaller number of users.
• You can use this tactic if you want to get your update earlier. First, you need to find out in which countries the update is already being rolled out. For example, in the update to Android O for the Oneplus 3 and 3T, this was Canada.
• If you now pretend to be in this country via a VPN connection, the probability of receiving the update increases.
• Simply connect to a VPN server in the corresponding country. Then go to Settings and then to "System Updates". You should now receive a notification that an update is ready for you.
• You no longer have to access the update itself via the VPN connection. As soon as you receive a notification of the update, you can disconnect the VPN connection.
• Now install the update and can look forward to your refreshed system.
