Android 11 for OnePlus 8 (Pro) in the Netherlands
From now on, Android 11 will roll out via a so-called ota update for the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. Such an update stands for over the air and that means that the software can be downloaded and installed directly on your device.
The update rolls out in phases, so it may take a while before you see it too. To check whether the update is already available for your device, follow the steps below.
- Grab your OnePlus 8 (Pro)
Open the settings;
- Scroll to ‘System’
Click on this;
- Tap on ‘System updates’
Let your device check for updates.
The update (for the OnePlus 8 Pro) is 2925MB in size, so downloading via a stable WiFi connection is recommended. After installation, you can use your phone again as usual, but you can use all Android 11 options and gadgets that OnePlus has added to it.
Your data will be retained with an OTTA update, but of course always make sure that you have a good backup of your data. Android 11 was previously installed on the 8 series via the Oxygen Updater app or manually flash of it. However, installing new software via an ota update is the most common and easy way.
