Stable OxygenOS 13

Do you own a Oneplus 8, 8pro, 8T, or 9R? I have good news to share with you. Oneplus has released OxygenOS 13 F.13 & F.16 for the Oneplus 8, 8pro, 8T, and Oneplus 9R. After just two open betas, Oneplus launched OxygenOS 13’s stable version, versions F.13 & F.16. Stable OxygenOS 13 now available for Oneplus 8, 8pro, 8T & Oneplus 9R.

My YouTube username is Techibee, and my name is Ashok. I’ve been creating videos for YouTube for the past six years in addition to writing blogs for the previous four. We’ll provide you with the details you need about this new upgrade for the Oneplus 8, 8pro, 8T, and Oneplus 9R with OxygenOS 13.

Since Android 13 has been available for a while, non-Pixel devices are reportedly getting it faster than before. The next OEM to have fresh software ready to go for its 2020 portfolio is OnePlus, after Samsung’s update of a number of devices to the most recent version of Android. The OxygenOS 13 stable update for the OnePlus 8, 8 Pro, and 8T is now available following a few beta releases. The OnePlus 9R, 9RT, and 10R have also received the Android 13 upgrade through stable channels in addition to the 8 series.

OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro Will Not Get OxygenOS 14 Update Confirmed

Published

OxygenOS 14 for Oneplus 8 & 8T

OnePlus has in the past announced a new update policy for its smartphones, OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro were among those happy users who were excited about OxygenOS 14 but sadly, it looks like these devices will soon be considered under the EOL (End of Life) category after a few months from now.

After the announcement of the OxygenOS 14 Close Beta tester for the OnePlus 8T, it has now been confirmed that the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro will be left behind in the race for software updates. Below, you can check out a screenshot from the Oneplus community about the requirement for Close Beta testers for the OnePlus 8T.

Generally, the company releases the updates together for the entire OnePlus 8 Series including Oneplus 8T but this time Oneplus announced the closed beta program for Oneplus 8T excluding Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro. Oneplus 8T might get the OxygenOS 14 stable build next year depending on how the close beta testing and open beta testing programs go. But it’s confirmed that Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro users won’t get OxygenOS 14.

Oneplus 8 OxygenOS 14

Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro were released in the month of April 2020. So as per the even new policy OnePlus 9 Series and Oneplus 8 Series will only get three years of major OS updates and four years of security updates. So the Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro which were released in April 2020 already received three major OS updates; now they will only receive security patches before they are considered under EOL (End of Life) category. But Oneplus 8T was released in the month of October 2023 so that just completed three years. But before October, we already had a few OxygenOS 14 builds for higher-end Oneplus smartphones, so technically, Oneplus 8T should get OxygenOS 14, not Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro. How many of you guys have Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro? Let us know below.
