The new OxygenOS 12 update is only being rolled out for the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro Indian and global variants. The company is rolling the update out in a phased manner, like with most updates.

If you have a OnePlus 9 or 9 Pro, you can check for the update manually by navigating to Settings/ System/ System updates. If you don’t see the update here you can use Oxygen Updater or wait for the update to come to your phone later.

The OxygenOS 12 update is set to be the last major update for the OnePlus 9 series and or other phones, before the brand switches to the new unified OS that will blend together Oppo’s ColorOS and OnePlus’ OxygenOS.
