OxygenOS 12 based on Android 12 is being rolled out to the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro. The current update is expected to fix the issues brought by the last version, which began rolling out last week. After consumers complained about the flaws and difficulties in the previous update for the OnePlus 9 series, OnePlus put it on hold. Samsung, like OnePlus, is thought to have restarted the stable Android 12 upgrade after it was suspended due to reported issues. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3 smartphones are said to be receiving the update.

For the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro, OnePlus launched the original Android 12-based OxygenOS 12 last week. This update brought flaws that affected mobile data connectivity, alerts, and even caused freezing and display difficulties, among other things. The corporation eventually halted the distribution and is now releasing a fresh software package that is supposed to fix the earlier problems. According to an official notification released on the OnePlus Community forums, the OnePlus 9 will receive the software version LE2111 11 C.39 in India and LE2115 11 C.39 in global markets, while the OnePlus 9 Pro 64,999 will receive LE2121 11 C.39 in India and LE2125 11 C.39 in worldwide industries.

The latest OxygenOS upgrade, according to OnePlus, enhances the smoothness of fingerprint unlocking, optimises system battery usage, and addresses a screen tearing issue when returning to the home screen after playing specific games. The update is also expected to fix the problem that caused some users' notification bars to be blank. There have also been advancements in camera and network connectivity. The December 2021 Android security patch is included in the OxygenOS 12 update for the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro, which is based on Android 12. 'This OTA will be gradual, as it always is.' The OTA will be available to a small number of users today, with a wider deployment to follow in a few days, according to the firm.

OnePlus has admitted that, while being a bug-fix version, the latest OxygenOS release does not solve some of the reported issues, such as Chrome's auto-fill functionality and Google's Camera app's temporary lack of access to the Ultra HD 48-megapixel primary and auxiliary camera. A follow-up update is planned for these issues, according to the business.

In the meanwhile, customers may check their OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro for the newest update by navigating to Settings > System > System Updates. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3 have begun receiving One UI 4 based on Android 12 in South Korea, but it was delayed last week after customers reported serious issues, including some that caused the devices to brick (or become unresponsive) in some situations. 

Samsung is seeding a fresh software version to both foldable phones in South Korea, according to SamMobile. The firmware version for the Galaxy Z Flip 3 is F711NKSU2BUL4, while the firmware version for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is F926NKSU1BUL4, according to the report.

Users of the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3 in countries other than South Korea may receive this update in the coming days.
