The last OxygenOS Open Beta update for the OnePlus Nord was released in early March. It was rolled out a few days after the company started seeding OxygenOS 11 (Android 11) update. Since then, OnePlus has re-released the Android 11 update after halting it for a while, which was later followed by a hotfix update. Now, almost two months later, the brand is rolling out the OxygenOS Open Beta 5  update for the OnePlus Nord.

Just like the previous public beta build, the OnePlus Nord OxygenOS Open Beta 5 update only brings fixes, in addition to some improvements. The fixes are meant for system, file manager, and camera. Whereas, the improvements are for network.

Talking about the fixes first, the latest public beta build for the OnePlus Nord brings fixes for general bugs, abnormal display issue while copying files to OTG, abnormal preview display in Nightscape Tripod mode, unresponsiveness of the camera app when setting profile photo in Contact app, frame drops in video recording, and abnormal preview display of 0.6x ultra-wide in 1080P 60FPS.

Lastly, this update brings improvements for the detection of wireless networks and the speed of WiFi connection.
