OnePlus will ‘look at’ touch latency issues soon, but only after rolling Nougat out

Just how serious is the touch latency situation on the OnePlus 3 and 3T? Well, it’s serious enough for company co-founder Carl Pei to feel the need, nay, obligation to formally address it on Twitter, but not so bad that it takes precedence over Android N-polishing work.

Nougat still “has higher priority”, with official, wide-scale OTA updates promised by the end of the year, especially given that “for its entire lifecycle, no one gave us this feedback for OP3, and nothing changed.”

Don’t worry, though, that doesn’t mean Pei is questioning the existence or gravity of the touch latency problem, which will be looked into at some point. Just not before Android 7.0 Nougat is ready for primetime on both the refreshed OnePlus 3T and original 3.

Remember, the two devices are due for simultaneous major and minor OS revisions starting with build N, last receiving separate OxygenOS makeovers during Turkey week. The 3T jumped to platform version 3.5.3 with “increased stability and various bug fixes”, “updated touch panel firmware and optimized touch precision”, as well as “updated GPS library and optimized location accuracy.”

The Snapdragon 820-powered OnePlus 3, meanwhile, was incrementally promoted to Marshmallow-based OxygenOS 3.2.8, adding among others 1080p 60fps video recording, “increased system stability”, and “general bug fixes.” So, yeah, the OEM isn’t perfect when it comes to software support, but we’ve certainly seen worse.
