OnePlus has been releasing smartphones, left, right, and center. We have seen the launch of so many OnePlus smartphones this year, which we used to see in two years, combined. Call it an updated strategy or a plan to make their impact in this volatile smartphone market, OnePlus did take some not-so-OnePlus-Like decisions this year. Firstly, the company ventured into the mid-range category with the OnePlus Nord smartphone. Later it announced only a single T-model of its OnePlus 8 series devices, i.e. the OnePlus 8T. There was no OnePlus 8T Pro, to which the company said that there is not much room to bring and implement on a Pro device.

In this post, we will give you all the details and updates about the latest developments about the Android 11 updates for the OnePlus Nord N100 and Nord N10 5G smartphones. So, with that being said, let us get straight into the article itself:

Update 3 (November 21, 2020)
As per a report by Android Central, OnePlus has confirmed that the OnePlus Nord N100 and Nord N10 5G will receive only a single Android OS update. This is something big coming from OnePlus which is known for pushing three major OS updates for its devices. OnePlus spokesperson has confirmed this piece of information to Android Central the company will continue to take community feedback from the users on improving the device via software updates. Moreover, the phones will receive two years of security updates. So, all in all, the Android 11 update will be both the devices’ one and only major OS update.
This is kind of disappointing to know from a brand that is OnePlus. The company may have different plans for its flagship lineup and the mid-range lineup devices. Notably, the company wants to focus more on its flagship devices. But that also could impact the sale of its recent launches as the company will treat only a single OS update to its OnePlus Nord N100 and Nord N10 5G device.
