OnePlus has just officially confirmed that its next gen flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 11, will arrive with support for 4 years of major Android updates. This makes the device the first ever handset from the company get this extended software support. So here are all the details.

For those unaware, the Chinese smartphone maker is gearing up to launch its highly anticipated OnePlus 11 phone on February 7, which will run on Android 13 OS based ColorOS 13/OxyegenOS 13 custom skin out of the box. But earlier today (3rd February 2023), the brand’s CEO Pete Lau has revealed that the OnePlus 11 5G model will get the highest number of software updates that it has ever offered on any smartphone.

The latest premium grade handset will come with four major Android updates. In other words, we can expect OnePlus 11 users to get the Android 14, Android 15, Android 15, and even the Android 17 OS update in the next few years. Furthermore, the phone will also come with five years of security patches as well. This means that OnePlus is now also offering longer software support for its devices, joining the ranks of other brands that offer similar experiences on their flagship phones like Samsung.

Similarly, even Apple offers such a long update cycle as well. Although, Google still falls behind Samsung with just 3 years of Android updates. It is unclear if this extended software support would also include any other handsets, or if it is only restricted to its flagship grade models.
