The wait is finally over for OnePlus fans! The company has officially begun rolling out the stable OxygenOS 16 update, starting with its flagship models — the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13s.
After unveiling OxygenOS 16 last month, OnePlus promised a November rollout — and users are now confirming that the Android 16–based update has already arrived on their devices.
OxygenOS 16 Rolls Out First to OnePlus 13 Series
Several OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13s users across India and global markets have reported receiving the new software build.

What’s New in OxygenOS 16
Built on Android 16, OxygenOS 16 brings a refreshed user interface, smarter AI tools, and seamless cross-device connectivity. The new update focuses on refinement, speed, and deeper personalization — three things OnePlus users have always loved.
Here’s a look at the major changes:
✨ Refined Visual Design
