OnePlus is readying to release the much-awaited Android 11-based OxygenOS 11 update for the OnePlus Nord. The smartphone has been receiving the OxygenOS 11 Open Beta builds since last month. Ahead of the Android 11 stable release, the company is now rolling out a new stable update with build number OxygenOS 10.5.11 globally.

The OxygenOS 10.5.11 update for the OnePlus Nord does not bring any new features. It only bumps up the security patch level to January 2021. Additionally, it is also said to improve system stability.

The update comes with the following build numbers for the three different variants of the handset sold worldwide.

• IN: 10.5.11.AC01DA
• EU: 10.5.11.AC01BA
• GLO: 10.5.11.AC01AA​

  • Updated Android Security Patch to 2021.01

Like any other system update, the latest OTA update for the OnePlus Nord is being seeded in a batched matter across the world. Therefore, it may take time to reach your unit. Anyway, you can head over to Settings to check for the update manually.

Having said that, it is worth noting that OnePlus’ update track record has become poorer than ever before. The brand has managed to release OxygenOS 11 stable update for only two devices so far.

The company is supposed to release the Android 11 update for nine more smartphones, while the first Android 12 Developer Preview is already out.
