Watching Android Nougat make their way to Google phones did not have a hand in the shot has been, well, a little unbearable. Some major players are getting the upgrade first, but now it looks like the upstarts in OnePlus are following online. Brian Yoon, the startup software manager, confirmed to Engadget that a beta build of Nougat "community" would be ready for OnePlus 3 this month. Even better: once all the sprains have been ironed, the nougat will be pushed out-to-air to all OnePlus 3s before the end of the year. Not a bad way to play in the holidays, right?Yoon also confirmed that older devices like the OnePlus 2 will be upgraded to Nougat as well, although there is no set time frame for that yet.The impulse of the company to take Nougat to its telephones comes after a quite dramatic internal restructuring. Earlier this year, the OnePlus leadership merged teams working on HydrogenOS (its software for OnePlus devices in China) and OxygenOS (its software for all other sites). It was a smart move, and ultimately necessary - OnePlus has not had the best reputation for quick software updates, and its users were vocal in their frustration. By combining software equipment, the company hoped to order their resources more effectively and, ultimately, only do things faster.
