[Update: Downloads live] OxygenOS 9.0 brings Pie to the OnePlus 6, includes UI changes, battery improvements, and more



Not long after the first Open Beta, OnePlus is pushing out Android 9 Pie to its latest flagship on the stable channel. This means that it gets the latest UI changes, battery improvements, as well as some other OxygenOS stuff like accent color customization and Gaming Mode 3.0.
This is exciting news for OnePlus 6 owners, so let's take a look at what this update has to offer:
  • Updated system to Android 9.0 Pie
    • Brand new UI for Android Pie
    • New adaptive battery support
    • New Android Pie gesture navigation
    • Updated Android security patch to 2018.9
    • Other new features and system improvements
  • Do Not Disturb mode
    • New Do Not Disturb (DND) mode with adjustable settings
  • New Gaming mode 3.0
    • Added text notification mode
    • Added notification for 3rd party calls
  • Accent color
    • Supported accent color customization
You'll notice that the OxygenOS version number jumped quite a bit. OnePlus says that, going forward, it will match the Android version number. This likely means that the next patch will likely be v9.0.1, but I digress.
  
If you want a bit more info on some of these things, I broke them down when the first Open Beta dropped a few weeks ago. OnePlus is rolling this out in stages, with some users already receiving the update. If you're impatient, even for OnePlus to add the file to the downloads page, then I suggest trying Oxygen Updater to pull the OTA manually.
OnePlus has finally updated its downloads page with the OxygenOS 9.0 file. If you haven't received the OTA yet, you can sideload it now.
