OnePlus will deliver four major OxygenOS updates and five years of security updates to some new devices it launches in 2023. Confirmed at a OnePlus community event in London, the company said the decision was partly driven by recognizing more people are keeping their phones for longer.<\/p>\n
Gary Chen, head of software products at OnePlus, said, \u201cWe do everything we can to enhance user experience. With more users keeping their devices for longer, we want to make sure we can offer that possibility. This new update policy will give users access to the latest security and functional features required to power OnePlus\u2019 signature fast-and-smooth experience throughout the lifetime of the phone.\u201d<\/p>\nAndy Boxall\/Digital Trends<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The change replaces the current commitment to provide three years of major updates and four years of security updates. It also matches Samsung\u2019s update policy and manages to beat Google\u2019s policy. According to Google, the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will receive major Android version updates until the end of 2025, meaning approximately three years of support. The phones will get five years of security updates.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s great news, but what isn\u2019t clear is when the first phones that incorporate the updated policy will arrive \u2014 and it\u2019s unfortunate it seems only some of OnePlus\u2019 2023 phones will get the longer update support. Currently, OnePlus has a similar system, where selected phones have a three-year update plan, while other devices \u2014 such as some Nord phones \u2014 have a far shorter update schedule. We\u2019d expect the new policy to apply to the OnePlus 11 series.<\/p>\n
In addition to news on the new update policy, OnePlus also stated the next version of OxygenOS will launch during the first half of 2023. Called OxygenOS 13.1, little was shared in terms of features, but we\u2019re told to expect a focus on safety and security with a new version of OnePlus\u2019s Private Safe. This is currently at version 2.0 and performs actions like pixelating private information in screenshots from apps such as Facebook and WhatsApp. Multimedia apps, including the photo gallery, will be improved too.<\/p>\n
Finally, in unsurprising news, the existence of OxygenOS 14 was confirmed, although the company has not provided any official information about the software. If OxygenOS 13.1 isn\u2019t expected for what could be seven months, it\u2019s unlikely we\u2019ll see version 14 until much later next year or beyond.<\/p>\n
