Download: OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 11 get new update with Photo Collages and more
- OnePlus is rolling out a new update to the OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 11 with a similar changelog.
- The new update adds a photo collage feature in the Photos app, a new gesture for the flashlight, and other changes.
- The update also bumps up both phones to March 2024 security patches.
The OnePlus 12 is among the best flagships you can buy right now, and the OnePlus 11 also manages to hold its ground. If you own either of these flagships, OnePlus is rolling out a new update that brings similar features to both phones.
OnePlus is rolling out Oxygen OS 14.0.0.604 for the OnePlus 12 and Oxygen OS 14.0.0.601 for the OnePlus 11. The changelog for both builds is quite similar.
With this update, both phones get the latest Android security patch, i.e., March 2024. However, Samsung has already rolled out April 2024’s security patch ahead of April’s schedule to the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
As the changelog mentions, you can now create photo collages in Photos, letting you skip out on downloading a third-party editing app. You’d still need one if you want to create more customized collages, but this feature in Photos will serve basic needs if you just want to stitch two photos.
Specifically for OnePlus 12 outside of India, the update includes the camera improvements rolled out for Indian users but which did not reach other regions yet, even though the changelog does not mention these changes.
As has recently become a tradition with OnePlus, the update is first being released to users in India. OnePlus 12 users in Europe have also received this update, and we expect other regions to follow suit soon.
