The last and final rumor is that the OnePlus One will not get the Android 7.0 Nougat update, because it is more than 2 years old and runs on Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset, which is said not to be compatible with the Android 7.0 Nougat's Vulcan API.
Problems Face BY OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T Users
If you're an OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T user, chances are you've been experiencing the touch latency issue, especially for the OnePlus 3 users that have been waiting for months now for OnePlus to fix it. About the "fix" part that the OnePlus 3 owners are still waiting for, OnePlus Co-Founder Carl Pei posted on Twitter that the owner will have to wait a little longer, because their focus right now is the Android 7.0 Nougat. However, some say that there might be a way to "lessen" the issues that the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T is having by updating their phones with the Android 7.0.
