The situation with OnePlus has deteriorated further. Just last week, we discussed the widespread issue of OnePlus motherboards failing and the official response from the brand. Now, it appears that even more OnePlus phones are experiencing problems, potentially due to a recent update.
Are the OnePlus 10 & OnePlus 9 Series in Danger?
Parth Monish Kohli recently tweeted a cautionary message to owners of the OnePlus 10 and OnePlus 9 series, advising them against updating their devices. It seems that older flagship models from OnePlus are encountering issues following the installation of the August update. Affected models reportedly include the OnePlus 9, 9 Pro, 9R, 9RT, 10, 10 Pro, and 10R. Although the specific nature of the problem remains uncertain, the newest software update is allegedly causing these devices to become unusable.
Users of these models have reported that the update has harmed their devices. Some suggest that the motherboards are being damaged post-update. If accurate, OnePlus may have released a faulty update. However, as the exact cause is still unknown, this information should be taken with caution. Given the numerous issues OnePlus users are experiencing, further problems would not be unexpected.
Connection to the Motherboard Failure Issue?
Recently, some users of the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G have complained about their phones overheating and experiencing slowdowns. In certain instances, motherboards on some OnePlus devices have completely failed. It remains unclear if these issues are interrelated or if the update has inadvertently exacerbated the problem. OnePlus has initiated an investigation, but it has yet to produce any conclusive findings. Until more information becomes available, owners of the OnePlus 10 and OnePlus 9 series are advised to avoid the update and await further communications on the issue.
