OnePlus 12R new update brings fixes for better battery life, security patches

OnePlus 12R is now receiving a new software update focusing mainly on its battery life. This minor update for the 12R “optimises power consumption to extend battery life,” according to the release notes. Other than that, it is an incremental upgrade for the toned-down OnePlus 12 and brings many other bug fixes and the latest Android security patch.

Rolling out to all eligible OnePlus 12R users, the new update has the OxygenOS 14.0.0.800 version. According to Gizmochina, the changelog for the update includes:

• Integrates the May 2024 Android security patch to enhance system security
• Improves system stability.
• Optimises power consumption to extend battery life.
• Fixes an issue where the volume from the speaker and Bluetooth earphones might be low.
• Fixes an issue that might cause the Home screen wallpaper to flicker after you close an app.
• Fixes a display issue where an app icon on the Home screen might move slightly from where it should be after closing the app.

Although the new update has squished most known bugs, OnePlus has urged users to contact should they experience issues even after updating the software by dialling *#800# from the phone’s Google Dialer app.
