Literal hours before OnePlus plans on announcing the OnePlus 12, Android 14 rolls out to the OnePlus 10T and 11R with Oxygen OS 14 in India, with other regions soon to come.
Android 14 brings a lot of quality-of-life upgrades for Android, and OxygenOS does what it can to incorporate those changes into OnePlus devices. The OnePlus 10T debuted in 2022, while the 11R came out in early 2023. Both phones are part of the company’s midrange lineup and focus on value over top-notch specs.
Today, OnePlus released OxygenOS 14 for the 10T and 11R, putting emphasis on last-gen midrange handsets receiving updates (via Android Authority). This update was first spotted in India, with no other regions currently showing an update available. Once some time has passed, it’s expected that Android 14 will make its way to other 10T and 11R phones in varying regions.
According to the changelog, OxygenOS 14 brings a slightly altered design with more emphasis on the “Aquamorphic” language OnePlus has taken on for some of its devices. The update also stabilizes performance with increased app launch speed and smoother animations. Specifically on the 11R, OxygenOS 14 brings a few bug fixes that have plagued the device recently.
