Timely updates

The early bird often gets the worm, especially when it comes to Android software. There’s just something special about being the first to get your hands on the latest version, and that’s exactly what OnePlus is all about.
One of the most important changes with the new Oxygen OS and Color OS integration is an even better maintenance system across the board. This means better support for the OnePlus Nord N family in addition to the flagships. The OnePlus 9 series receives a trio of Android version updates as well as four years of security support. Of course, the older OnePlus 8 and 8T series also receive the same long support.
On the north side, OnePlus has promised three years of security patches with a major Android version update. If you want to get started with new software right away, OnePlus is one of the best options. It was one of the first non-Google OEMs to introduce support for the Android 12 beta, and it will keep pace with new releases throughout all beta.

You don’t have to look any further than the OnePlus 9 series to find an incredible Google experience. Both the hardware and the software are optimized to get the most out of the operating system. It all started in the construction department.
A team of OnePlus engineers has equipped the OnePlus 9 family with 120 Hz LTPO displays and lightning-fast charging for a full day of performance in just 15 minutes. That means you can use your favorite Google features for hours. The OnePlus 9 series is even the first to support Fortnite at 90 fps, which takes gaming to whole new heights.
OnePlus has also adopted a glass unibody design that feels great in the hand. It lies comfortably in the hand for hours and the high-quality construction easily outperforms other aluminum devices. The OnePlus 9 Pro also shows how much you can achieve with a powerful camera – think 8K video and 4K slow motion, not to mention the incredible ultra-wide angle lens.
