The latest device to get an upgrade is the OnePlus 2 from Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus. Sources say that OnePlus has improved the OS for the new device, and has started helming out the novel OxygenOS update.

It is notable that OnePlus 2 was released in the year 2014 and it's nearly after a gap of two years that the device is getting this major update.
