OnePlus Nord

OnePlus is about to launch its new flagship smartphones under the OnePlus 9 series. However, this does not mean that all the company’s focus is being put in the upcoming handsets. One year ago, OnePlus entered the mid-range market with the release of the OnePlus Nord. The device came with solid specifications and some characteristics that can’t be found in other mid-range phones such as Optical Image Stabilization. The device was released with Android 10-based OxygenOS 10 and since the Android 11 release, it became outdated. After a long period of beta testing, the brand is finally rolling out the Android 11-based OxygenOS 11 for its mid-range phone. The new software brings a ton of new features and a visual refreshment.

According to OnePlus, the company claims that the new version of OxygenOS is faster, smoother, and smarter than ever before. Among the highlighted features, the new update brings one-handed operation, improved layout, customization, and more. The main features namely are a new improved Dark Mode, Always-On-Display, OnePlus Scout, Work-Life Balance Mode, Pro Gaming Mode, and more.

The update is rolling out to a small percentage of users today. If everything goes well, the company will then start a broader rollout in a couple of days. The company recommends users keep at least 30% of the battery and a minimum of 3GB of available storage before flashing the new firmware. For now, there is no information regarding the security patch available in this update, we expect February 2021 at least.
