Android 16 will be the last major update for these five OnePlus devices

After carrying out an excellent job in the management of the release of Android 15, OnePlus seems to be on the right way to do an equally excellent job with Android 16, an operating system that will arrive very short on the pixels and for which the Chinese manufacturer has already started the beta program for some time.

Despite the improvements on the timing front, as regards the OnePlus updates has not yet reached the first of the class (which in this sense are Samsung and Google): for this reason, some devices (even rather recent) of the Chinese manufacturer, will receive the next version of Android as the last major update.

End of games for five OnePlus devices with Android 16

It is written Android 16 And, except for surprises, Onceplus will read Oxygenos 16: the next version of the personalized interface of the Chinese manufacturer is currently being developed and, on the first devices, it could debut already in July.

As for the most recent devices, no problem: the next version of Android will not be the last Major Update that the Chinese manufacturer has in store for them since, looking at the Chinese producer updating policy, we have now reached Four Android updates And Six years of security patch.

For the most dated devices, however, it could be the end of the games. This is because, in the past, the Chinese producer promised not quite long -term support. OnePlus did not make official communications about it but, based on how much promised in the launch phase, we can practically say with certainty that Android 16 will be the last Major Update For five devices:

• OnePlus 11r – Smartphone never arrived in our part (exclusive for the Indian market) which debuted with Android 13 and the promise of three major update; The last will be, in fact, Android 16.
• Oneplus north 3 5G – Smartphone launched on the market on July 5, 2023 with Android 13 on board (personalized with Oxygenos 13.1) and for which three major updates of Android and four years of security patches were promised; As a result, the Oxygenos 16 (on Android 16) will be the last Major Update For this smartphone that will continue to receive another year of security patch.
• Oneplus Nord Ce4 – Smartphone launched on the market in 2024 with Android 14 on board and the promise of two major update (then will end with Android 16); It has never been officially brought to Italy.
• Oneplus Nord Ce4 Lite 5G – Smartphone launched on the Italian market on June 24, 2024 with Oxygenos 14 (on Android 14 base) and the promise of two Major Update and three years of security patches; As a result, he will also conclude with Android 16 but will receive another year of security -side updates.
• Oneplus pad – the company’s first tablet, a device that debuted on the Italian market in April 2023 with the Oxygenos 13.1 on board (Android 13 base); For this device, three Android updates had been promised and, also in this case, this will materialize with the release of Android 16.

In conclusion, we remember that the (probable) Oxygenos 16 based on Android 16 It is already available in Beta on OnePlus 13 but, for the official debut, we will have to wait at least the month of July; After the current flagship (Ei cousins 13T and 13S), it will slowly touch all the other supported models.
