OnePlus Nord 2T gets its OxygenOS 13-based on Android 13 update, but not everywhere
OnePlus is on a roll at the beginning of 2023 with multiple smartphones getting both small and big updates. While some are getting their last update, the OnePlus Nord 2T receives its first major Android update since its launch back in May 2022.
The Chinese company has just announced it has begun the OxygenOS 13 rollout to the OnePlus Nord 2T. Sadly, the update is only available for download in India for the time being, although it’s safe to say that other regions will follow soon.
Along with the announcement of the update, OnePlus has also revealed the entire changelog, which is quite massive. Apart from the December 2022 security patch, OxygenOS 13-based on Android 13 update includes dozens of new features and improvements.
Aquamorphic Design
Efficiency
Performance optimization
Gaming experience
Communication
These are just some of the most important changes included in the update, so make sure to check out the full patch notes for the rest. There’s also “rolling back” guide at the bottom of the forum post in case you want to go back to Android 12 for whatever reason.
