UPDATE:

Stable OxygenOS 13 update based on Android 13 is rolling out to OnePlus 8, 8 Pro, and 8T is rolling out internationally too!

The OnePlus 8 series is no doubt one of the most popular lineups ever introduced by the OnePlus. The lineup includes three different devices; the OnePlus 8, the OnePlus 8 Pro and the OnePlus 8T. It has been recently reported that the rollout of stable ColorOS 13, based on Android 13, has begun for the OnePlus 8 lineup. The Chinese variant of the devices has already started grabbing the update.

ITHome on Tuesday reported that the OnePlus 8 lineup of smartphones has started receiving the Android 13-based ColorOS 13 update. According to the source, this update is 5.72 GB in size, runs Android 13 and focuses on adding aquatic design, which creates a fresh experience. It offers a choice of screen displays, maximises smart office security and privacy, and the user interface (UI) creates a clean and organised visual experience.

On August 30 of this year, during the OPPO Developer Conference 2022, ColorOS was formally introduced. Major updates to the UI have just been made, including an improved quantum animation engine, support for new widgets on the homescreen, and revamped notification panels and icons. New privacy and security-related enhancements are also included in the UI overhaul. Additionally, the newly unveiled UI must support OPPO’s exclusive Omojis and spatial audio.

It is important to note that the OnePlus phones in China run the same version of ColorOS that the OPPO phones do. The smartphones on the global market run OxygenOS, which is essentially just ColorOS with a few very minor tweaks here and there. We expect that worldwide smartphones will get the upgrade in the upcoming weeks as the Android 13 rollout for the OnePlus 8 series has begun in the Chinese market.
