Last month, OnePlus kicked off the Android 13-based OxygenOS 13 open beta testing for the OnePlus 9RT. Now, the device is receiving a stable update for Android 13. Along with the OxygenOS 13 update, the company has also released the stable ColorOS 13 update for the device in China.

The OnePlus 9RT Android 13 Stable update is approximately 5.0GBs in size and has the firmware version MT2111 11.F.11. The update also includes an Android security patch for October 2022. Let’s take a look at all the changes that are coming with this update.
