Late last month, OnePlus announced the end of the OxygenOS Open Beta program for its 2018 flagships — the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T — making Open Beta 6 the last beta release for both devices. However, the devices are still scheduled to receive bi-monthly stability and security update until at least mid-20201, as per OnePlus’ Software Maintenance Schedule. As a result, OnePlus rolled out OxygenOS 10.3.3 for the devices shortly after the announcement, and, just over a month after the last release, the devices are now getting another update on the stable channel.

According to a recent post on the OnePlus Community forums, the company has started the incremental rollout of OxygenOS 10.3.4 for the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T. The update includes the Android security patches for May 2020, an update for the OnePlus Launcher, the Work-Life Balance mode that we’ve previously seen on other OnePlus devices, and more.
Here’s the complete changelog for OxygenOS 10.3.4 for the OnePlus 6/6T:
- System
- Updated launcher version to 4.1.6
- Updated Android Security Patch to 2020.05
- Improved system stability and fixed general bugs
- Phone
- Fixed the issue with default country in assisted dialing when SIM2 is in roaming state
- Newly added Work-Life Balance to help prioritize notifications and allocate time wisely (India only)
- Newly added Epic Games in Game Space (India only)
The latest update for the OnePlus 6/6T arrives alongside a similar update for the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7T series, which also includes the Android security patches for May 2020, adds the Epic Games Store to the Game Space app, and more. Since the update is being released in an incremental fashion, it might be a while before you receive the OTA notification on your device. Alternatively, you can download the update package for your device from the links below and flash it manually.

ARM is very proud of the Cortex-X1, saying that it’s the most powerful Cortex CPU to date. It brings 30% peak performance improvement over the current Cortex-A77. It’s said to bring “ultimate performance” for next-generation custom solutions. The CPU came in response to partners who wanted to maximize performance in line with their own use cases.
The Cortex-X1’s architecture is where things get interesting. It has numerous microarchitectural upgrades that provide that peak performance boost. The Cortex-A76, which was announced in 2018, upgraded the instruction decode width to 4-wide from the 3-wide of the Cortex-A75, which, in turn, had increased from the 2-wide width of the Cortex-A73. However, the Cortex-A77 opted to keep the decode width constant at 4-wide. Apple’s A-series chips are big and wide, as the decode width of all A-series chips since the A11 has been 7-wide, which is wider than even desktop CPU architectures. ARM has taken a step closer to Apple with the Cortex-X1, as the decode bandwidth has been increased by 25% to 5 instructions decoded per cycle.
Moreover, ARM says the MOP cache throughput has been increased by 33% to 8 MOPs per cycle. The Cortex-X1’s Neon engine gets two additional pipes that doubles its compute capacity over the A78. In terms of cache sizes, the X1 supports 64kB L1 and up to 1MB L2 cache, while the DynamIQ cluster has been upgraded to now support 8MB of L3 for ultimate performance. The larger L3 can also be used by the A78 when it is used in combination with the Cortex-X1.
The Cortex-X1 is the first example of a Cortex-CPU produced under the CXC program. The very need of the CXC program is to push performance at an envelope outside of the Cortex-A PPA. That’s because all that increased performance comes at a cost. The Cortex-X1 is 1.5x the size of the Cortex-A78. This means it has worse PPA as well as worse energy efficiency. Thus it’s unlikely to be found in any mid-range or budget phone, as it will likely be restricted to high-end flagship phones. Allowing partners to have a CPU that is specific to their market need will differentiate between the roadmap of the Cortex-A CPUs. It should be noted here that program partners will not be able to directly customize any CPU under the CXC program. Instead, the CXC program is essentially the successor of the “Built for Cortex” license, where ARM makes modifications upon partners’ request, and designs the CPU IP to be sold to the partner. In this way, ARM says it will meet the needs of the ever-expanding ecosystem.
