The Android 13 software has had a very interesting preview and the new year will be the dawn of Android 14. But one of the interesting parts of the Android 13 rollout process is how phone brands combine their Android 13 software with the stock Android 13 to give something sleek. OnePlus is rolling out the OnePlus 10T Android 13 update with the stable OxygenOS 13.
We’ve gotten the OnePlus 10T Android 13 update in various beta versions, it seems the brand is done with the beta testing phase as this version rolling out is stable. The update will be rolling out in the firmware version ending in C.12 for the Indian variant and then the firmware version ending in C.22 for the European variant.
In addition to the OnePlus 10T Android 13 update, the Chinese OEM decided to bump up the security level of the smartphone via the November 2022 security patch. The update was previously rolled out(exclusively) to those on the beta channel, but now, other users are accessing the software – although bear in mind that the rollout is a gradual process.
