Will the OnePlus 8 5G UW receive any more updates?

[crdennett]

I've had a Verizon branded OnePlus 8 5G UW for almost 3 years now.  It received Android 11 a while after I bought it.  Android 12 has been out almost a year and a half now but has not been released for this phone.  The last security update is dated 2022-10-01, almost 6 months ago.  Will Verizon ever release any more security updates or a more recent Android version or is this phone pretty much out of support now?

Considering a Pixel 7A when it comes out later this spring, but I will not buy it from Verizon.

Hello, there! We would have to check with the manufacturer to find out when the next update will be for the OnePlus 8. Please give me a moment to see if I can find any information regarding that issue.

I did some research and OnePlus released Android 12 about March 2022 (over a year ago) and Android 13 in November 2022.  Since the OnePlus 8 5G UW is a Verizon branded phone, I would assume any OS update would have to go through Verizon.  I'd just like to know when and if that will happen.
