It’s the month for the OnePlus 9 Series, as it seems from the frequent updates that these devices received in the past few days. After a couple of regular updates based on OxygenOS 13 in December, the global version of the smartphone received OxygenOS 14 Update yesterday. Meanwhile, the OnePlus 9RT, along with the OnePlus 9 and the OnePlus 9 Pro, are receiving the Android 14-based ColorOS 14 update in China.

The new update bundles all the new features of Android 14, along with the new additions from OnePlus’s ColorOS 14 skin. The new Aquamorphic design, with referred animations and ringtones, along with other performance and security improvements, is set to elevate the user experience.

ColorOS 14 Stable Update

The OnePlus 9 is receiving firmware 14.0.0.201, and the OnePlus 9 Pro and OnePlus 9RT are getting firmware 14.0.0.211 updates. It is rolling out to both normal and beta users in China. Before updating, users should keep a backup of their important personal data, as the new build may affect the data on their smartphones. Moreover, a few of the third-party applications may not work effectively and may result in odd experiences for the users.

OnePlus also advises users to give at least a couple of days to a smartphone for auto-optimization on the new system. Until then, it may overheat, which may lead to excessive battery drain. Also, keep at least 60% of the battery and up to 15GB of storage free before installing the update.
