The OnePlus 2 has finally started getting the update to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow after months of beta testing. The upgrade is being sent out OTA and will bump up the software version to OxygenOS 3.0.2 for all units.
OnePlus 2 users won’t have to wait too long for the update either, since the brand claims it’ll send OxygenOS 3.0.2 to its entire user base within 48 hours. The promotion is apparently an incremental one, with the major headline-grabbing change being the send-up to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
The OnePlus 2 will also be blessed with new features like the ability to lock apps in recents to make sure they don’t get cleared away. Power users are set to get additional control over background processes thanks to the addition of clear process alongside the clear-all option.

OnePlus has also worked hard at improving the fingerprint sensor’s performance and recognition skills. It’s further changed-up the camera UI and gotten rid of MaxxAudio and Tuner. The company has gone ahead and integrated Dirac HD Sound technology instead, hoping to provide an enhanced music experience without the bells and whistles.
