OnePlus is ahead of the curve once again. While many Android users are still waiting for Android 15, OnePlus has already rolled out Android 16 beta updates for select models. Here is everything you need to know about eligible devices and the company’s software update plans.
OnePlus began rolling out Android 16 beta updates early in 2025. Following the official schedule, the stable release is expected by June 2025. If you own a OnePlus device, now is the time to check whether you are eligible for the new update.
New devices launched with Android 15 will also receive the Android 16 update automatically.
If your current device is not listed, it might miss out on Android 16 features. Upgrading to a newer OnePlus model with longer software support would be the best way to enjoy the latest improvements.
OnePlus promises four years of Android updates and five years of security patches for flagship devices like the OnePlus 11, 12, and 13 series. The “R” variants now also receive four Android updates, starting with the OnePlus 13R.
The latest Nord models like the Nord 4 benefit from improved update support, while older Nord CE models are limited to two Android updates. Meanwhile, the OnePlus Pad and Pad 2 tablets receive three Android updates, whereas the Pad Go only gets one.
Although OnePlus has made progress in extending software support, it still lags behind Samsung and Google, which now offer seven years of updates.
With Android 16 arriving soon, OnePlus users can expect faster access to the newest features. Check your device eligibility and stay prepared for a smoother Android experience.
