Android 13 is finally arriving on OnePlus devices starting on the OnePlus 10 Pro. The first OxygenOS 13 beta build of OnePlus brings several improvements including optimized gaming experience and refreshed design much closer to Oppo's ColorOS. Surprisingly, other OnePlus devices including the recently launched OnePlus 10T will receive the update after a few weeks or months.


TL;DR

  • OnePlus announces the first OxygenOS 13 beta based on Android 12.
  • OxygenOS 13 brings similarities to Oppo's ColorOS.
  • The update is available to OnePlus 10.

After revealing the OxygenOS 13 based on Android 13 last week, OnePlus announced that the OnePlus 10 Pro users are entitled to the beta version of its latest software update. It is now available in the US, Canada, and India while Europe and other regions will follow.

The OxygenOS 13 has been confirmed by OnePlus to share its codebase to the ColorOS of Oppo, thus, a lot of similarities are present especially on the UI and functions. On this build, users can take advantage of a new AI System Booster and Smart Launcher as well as added spatial audio support.

I still remember how amazed I was when I first got hold of the Nokia 3210 back when I was a kid, and it was during that time I developed my love for technology, particularly for mobile phones. I started sharing my knowledge through writing in different blogs and forums back in Nokia Nseries era. I even make videos before where I put different phones side-by-side. Today, I'm still an avid enthusiast of smartphones, but my interests have evolved into smart devices and electric vehicles.
