OnePlus 8 and 8T getting new security patch and many fixes in latest update

It's common knowledge that OnePlus is updating its smartphones on a monthly (sometimes even more often) basis. In the last week of May, the OnePlus 8 and 8T are getting their important update that brings a new security patch and several bug fixes.

While many handset manufacturers roll out these security patches to their flagships, OnePlus is one of the few companies that also include some extra changes. This time around, OnePlus added several fixes and a few improvements to various aspects of the phones.

Both OnePlus 8 and 8T smartphones are getting OxyenOS 11.0.8.12 update in Europe and North America (India too), but the timing might vary. Anyway, you can find below the full changelog, as published by OnePlus:
