Will OnePlus Nord CE 5G Get Android 13 Update?
According to OnePlus’s official blog, the company is committed to delivering 3 major Android OS updates and 4 years of Android Security Patches. OnePlus Nord CE 5G came out of the box with Android 11 based on ColorOS, and recently, it received its first major OS update, Android 12, based on OxygenOS 12.0. There is no info on whether OnePlus will roll out the Android 13 anytime soon. However, if you are here to know the exact date, we regret it because no such news is coming out from the official’s side. But, it is confirmed that you’ll get the update by the end of 2023.
It won’t justify if we are talking about whether this device meets the minimum requirement for the update or not because this is just launched. Anyway, if you still want to inspect if this device is eligible or not, then let’s hover to the specification section.

We’ve already seen and used the major UI and design element changes in Android 12 last year which is known as ‘Material You’. This materialistic theming design enhanced the Android user experience in every aspect from the minimal subtle look, rounded corners, improved pop-ups, etc.

New Software Update Tracker:
Updated on February 24, 2023: OnePlus Nord CE 5G owners can now receive a new software update containing the latest January 2023 security patch, aimed at fixing minor bugs and issues within the device’s internal framework to ensure performance stability and increase efficiency. The firmware upgrade does not mention any specific changes to the device’s system, but it brings users closer to the awaited OxygenOS 13 firmware upgrade. Keeping your device up-to-date ensures compatibility with upcoming upgrades and increases its lifespan.
OnePlus didn’t yet roll out Android 12 for EU models EB2103 (only India EB2102) and no security patches at all. It’s debatable if they will do it at all. My guess is no. The company is very India focused and leaves Europe aside in the mid-range phone field. The latest mid-range additions in the Nord series attest to that (minor upgrade or no upgrades at all hw and sw-wise.
