OnePlus 13 and 13R to Get Four Years of Android OS Updates, Company Confirms

/in /tarafından

OnePlus has officially clarified its update policy for the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R, addressing recent speculation about the duration of software support for these devices. Contrary to earlier reports, the company has confirmed that both smartphones will receive four full years of Android OS updates, with the initial Android 15-based OxygenOS 15 not being counted as part of this cycle. This means users can expect updates up to Android 19, ensuring long-term software support and security enhancements.

In an official post on X (formerly Twitter), OnePlus India reassured users that the four-year OS update commitment begins after the pre-installed Android 15. As a result, OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R owners will receive updates to Android 16, 17, 18, and 19, aligning with the company’s promise of extended support. In addition to OS updates, OnePlus has also committed to providing six years of security updates, further enhancing the longevity of these devices.

Earlier, a report from DroidLife had claimed that OnePlus North America’s PR team indicated Android 15 would be considered the first major OS update, meaning the devices would only be updated through Android 18. This interpretation led to confusion among users who expected a full four-year update cycle beyond the pre-installed version. However, OnePlus’ latest statement has dispelled these concerns, reaffirming its commitment to a transparent and user-friendly update policy.

This clarification positions OnePlus among the brands offering some of the longest software support in the industry, competing with companies like Samsung and Google. The extended update cycle enhances the value proposition of the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R, making them more appealing for users who prioritize long-term software support and security. With this commitment, OnePlus continues to strengthen its reputation in the premium smartphone segment.

OnePlus 12R users worldwide have started receiving a new OxygenOS 15 update, bringing enhanced features and security improvements. Initially, the stable OxygenOS 15 update was rolled out in November 2024, and this latest version builds upon it with additional functionalities such as Touch to Share and BeaconLink support. The OnePlus 12R, which was launched in India in January 2024, originally shipped with OxygenOS 14 based on Android 14. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM, the device is now set to deliver an improved software experience with this latest update.

OnePlus has confirmed in a community post that the new OxygenOS version 15.0.0.500 is rolling out to OnePlus 12R users across multiple regions, including India, Europe, and North America. The rollout is being conducted in batches, which means some users may receive the update sooner than others. Those who haven’t received a notification for the update yet can expect it to become available over the next few days as OnePlus completes the phased deployment.

One of the key highlights of this update is the introduction of Touch to Share, a feature designed to enable seamless data sharing between supported OnePlus devices. Additionally, the update brings BeaconLink support, which enhances connectivity options for compatible devices. Alongside these new features, users can expect general performance optimizations, security patches, and bug fixes aimed at improving overall stability and responsiveness.

It is important to note that this update is only available for users who have already upgraded to OxygenOS 15. If a OnePlus 12R device is still running OxygenOS 14, users will need to first install the OxygenOS 15 update before gaining access to version 15.0.0.500. With these new additions, OnePlus continues to refine the user experience, ensuring that its flagship-killer smartphones remain competitive with the latest software innovations.
