The OnePlus Nord is the brand’s first-ever mid-range smartphone. The handset debuted with OxygenOs 10.5 based on Android 10. Despite being a new phone, the company started releasing OxygenOS 11 (Android 11) beta builds for this device only in early January 2021. Now, almost two months later, the smartphone has finally begun to receive the stable update.

Lately, OnePlus has been slow in updating its devices. Google released Android 11 in September. But so far, OnePlus has rolled out OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11 for only three handsets, namely the OnePlus 8 series and the OnePlus Nord.

The OnePlus 8 and the OnePlus 8 Pro started receiving OxygenOS 11 stable in October itself. But the OnePlus Nord is receiving the same update only now. Anyway, the latest system update for the phone brings all the Android 11 and OxygenOS 11 features despite being a mid-ranger.

Some of the notable features of the OnePlus Nord OxygenOS 11 update include a new revamped UI similar to Samsung One UI, Insight AOD clock style, Canvas AOD wallpaper, scheduled Dark Mode, new OnePlus Shelf UI, and new OnePlus Gallery app with stories.
