14 DAY TRIAL // OnePlus X was launched on the market earlier this month, but OnePlus' mid-range smartphone is not without bugs when it comes to software.
The handset ships with OxygenOS, which is based on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop operating system, but OnePlus X owners have been complaining of some issues they have encountered while handling the smartphone.
OnePlus promised that it would address all these issues in future updates and has already delivered on that promise by releasing OxygenOS 2.1.2 less than two weeks ago.
Today, the Chinese company has announced that a new update for OnePlus X is available for download, which should address more issues that have been highlighted by users.
According to the official changelog, most of the changes included in the update are related to SD card improvements. For example, OnePlus has confirmed that the update contains some UX improvements and exFAT SD card support.
The update focuses on improving user experience
In addition, OxygenOS 2.1.3 update finally brings users the ability to move apps to and from the SD card. Also, OnePlus states that the upcoming update should fix reboots caused by removing SD card in an active state.
But this update is not just about SD card improvements. OnePlus also mentions that OxygenOS 2.1.3 includes some security patches, as well as general bug fixes and optimizations.
One last thing worth mentioning is that OxygenOS 2.1.3 update will be pushed OTA (over the air) incrementally, which means not all OnePlus X owners will receive it at the same time.
Here is OnePlus' explanation on why it decided to deliver this update in waves: “we generally start our OTA rollout with a small percent (~10%, randomly chosen) of our users to ensure that the OTA system is working correctly.
“The reason we do this is so that in case we find any serious issues, we can contain the problem quickly and find a solution before it impacts a wider audience.
“This also allows us the address the affected users quickly without too much of a queue. We usually open up OTAs to the general public 24-48 hours after the initial release if all goes well.”
