We’re seeing various reports from OnePlus X users reporting a new OTA update hitting their device today, and to confirm this, we also have the confirmation from the OnePlus team.

The update is pretty minor, and doesn’t involve any upgrade to Android version which stays at Android 5.1.1. But it does brings in some definite bug fixes and improvements.

Changelog!

The Oxygen OS 2.1.2 update for OnePlus X fixes UX issues in the camera app, improves HDR mode’s color offset, optimizes the device at system level when battery is low, and fixes system update to improve stability of OTA updates.

Users have also reported about the issues with OnePlus X SD card, and even though those have been acknowledged by the team, a fix for that isn’t included in the Oxygen OS 2.1.2 update that is rolling out today. For the good part, the SD card issue is being worked on and another update will be released by the team when fix is available.

Here’s your download link and installation guide for the OnePlus X 2.1.2 update.
