OnePlus has released the October 2024 software update for the OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9 Pro, and OnePlus 8T, which includes upgrades, new features, and security measures. To provide a better user experience, the update contains bug fixes, system optimizations, performance improvements, and changes to user interface functionality.
- OnePlus 9 – India – LE2111_14.0.0.720(EX01)
- OnePlus 9 Pro – India – LE2121_14.0.0.720(EX01)
The OnePlus 9 still feels solidly built and the plastic frame does look like metal, even though it’s not. The alert slider and buttons have good tactile feedback, similar to the ones on the 9 Pro. The OnePlus 9 has a similar 6.55-inch AMOLED display as the 8T. Software is taken care of by OxygenOS 11, which is based on Android 11.
Performance has been very solid right from the get go thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdraogn 888. The display is excellent – colours are vibrant, brightness is very good, and viewing angles are more than satisfactory. The OnePlus 9 delivers very good battery life; a bit better than the 9 Pro in fact, in my opinion.
The cameras on the OnePlus 9 are a big upgrade compared to its predecessor’s mainly due to better sensors. The selfie camera is the same one used for the OnePlus 9 Pro, and it’s decent but not great. The OnePlus 9 is a good smartphone in its own right, but hard to recommend when you have the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G and OnePlus 8 Pro selling for around the same price.
OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro October 2024 Update
The key objective of this update is to optimize system performance so that users can expect better stability and smoothness. This update is ready for a faster and more responsive experience for the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro. Additionally, the feature to set a default alarm sound in “Clock” in a unified way for all alarms has been added.
A module is also added to the Trinity Engine to optimize apps, speed up app launch and reduce power consumption. This improves the user experience of scrolling screenshots and notifications and live alert messages will not pop up and floating windows will also not be displayed while taking scrolling screenshots.
It integrates the October 2024 Android security patch to enhance system security. In addition to performance improvements, the update addresses several bugs that were causing problems for users. These improvements ensure a more seamless experience with fewer crashes, app freezes, or other glitches and also provide a more consistent and modern look to some UI elements.
