If you own a OnePlus 5, OnePlus 5T, OnePlus 3 or a OnePlus 3T smartphone, then we have some news for you that you may not like too much. You will have to wait for a little longer before your phone gets the Android 9.0 Pie update. The company had earlier said that these devices will be getting an Android 9.0 Pie update, but now it seems like it’s going to take more time than what users were expecting.
OnePlus CEO has confirmed this when he replied to a user on Weibo saying that Android Pie update for these devices is delayed, but will definitely come to the smartphones nevertheless.
This clearly points towards the fact that OnePlus would need more time before it dispatches the latest Android update to its older smartphones.

While they were launched with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, they have already received two updates, one of Android Nougat and the other of Android Oreo.
