OnePlus Nord CE gets Stable OxygenOS 13 update with new features and optimizations for Indian users

OnePlus Nord CE gets a major software upgrade with the release of OxygenOS 13, available exclusively in India. The update brings a range of new features and optimizations to enhance user experience and efficiency.

One of the standout features is the Aquamorphic Design theme, which offers enhanced visual comfort and natural, vivid animations. The update also adds a Shadow-Reflective Clock, displaying the orientation of the sun and moon, and a world clock widget to show the time in different time zones.

The new update also includes optimizations to the UI layers, making the visual experience clearer and neater. Widgets have been optimized to make information easier and quicker to find, and the font has been improved for better readability. Additionally, system icons have been updated to make them easier to recognize and feature illustrations with multicultural and inclusive elements.

Users can now open an app in an enlarged folder with just one tap and turn pages in the folder with a swipe, thanks to the addition of large folders on the Home screen. The update also adds media playback control, optimizing the Quick Settings experience, and more markup tools for screenshot editing. Users can personalize their display with Omoji customized avatars and more personalized Always-On Display settings available.

In terms of security and privacy, the update adds an automatic pixelation feature for chat screenshots and regular clearing of clipboard data. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is used to encrypt all files for enhanced security of private files in the Private Safe.

The Kid Space feature has also been added, automatically switching the browser app to Kids mode to create a child-friendly space, with distance-from-phone, ambient light, and sitting posture reminders. Eye comfort in Kid Space helps protect children’s vision.

The OxygenOS 13 update also includes upgrades to HyperBoost GPA 4.0 for a more stable frame rate and balanced performance and power consumption in key scenarios. The update also improves the stability of mobile network connections and fixes an issue with making voice or video calls with WhatsApp in certain scenarios.

Users who wish to roll back to Android 12 can do so by following the designated ROM rollback zip package via local OTA update. Note that the rollback will erase all phone contents, so be sure to backup first.

OnePlus Nord CE users in India can now update their devices to OxygenOS 13 to experience the new features and optimizations.
