The OxygenOS 16 rollout kicked off earlier this month, starting with the latest high-end phone, the OnePlus 13. The rollout progressed as scheduled to cover the most recent high-end phones and tablets, but some mid-range phones have also joined the party ahead of the rollout schedule.
I’m talking about the OnePlus Nord 5, Nord 4, and Nord CE 5, which have recently started getting the stable OxygenOS 16 update. These smartphones were scheduled to receive the update in December, but it’s already rolling out. The update is currently available in select regions, including India, but given OnePlus’s history of software rollouts, the expansion shouldn’t take long.
As per the OxygenOS 16 rollout timeline, November is reserved for high-end phones and tablets, but early updates for some mid-range phones suggest they won’t be in the queue for long. It won’t be surprising if more phones get the update ahead of schedule.
If your OnePlus device is still in the queue, review the OxygenOS 16 rollout timeline before to find out when it’s your turn:

And with only three devices remaining to receive the update in December, we won’t be surprised if OnePlus starts covering the third wave of OxygenOS 16 rollout in December itself, which is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2026.
