After a series of Open Betas, the stable OxygenOS 13 update based upon Android 13 is now rolling out for the OnePlus 10 Pro.

Another divisive update, OxygenOS 13 bears an uncanny resemblance to ColorOS 13 often found on Oppo devices. The rollout was confirmed in a dedicated announcement post on the official OnePlus Forums alongside a substantial changelog. What’s interesting is that this update comes just a few days after Oppo pushed its own Android 13 update to the Find X5 series.

A large number of the “Aquamorphic Design” changes alter the visual elements that OxygenOS has become synonymous with – if you fell in love with the lightweight skin, then Android 13 is one of the biggest shifts since the launch of OnePlus.

Kudos needs to be given as the Chinese brand is one of the few to push a stable Android 13 update for the OnePlus 10 Pro ahead of the likes of Samsung, Xiaomi, and more.
