OnePlus announced via its community forum that the stable Oxygen OS 16 update is now rolling out to the OnePlus 10 Pro in India. The firm adds that this is a batch-based rollout, and that the update will eventually come to more regions.
This is nevertheless a surprising turn of events, as the OnePlus 10 Pro launched with Oxygen OS 12 and was only scheduled to receive three OS upgrades. That means the Android 15-based Oxygen OS 15 was supposed to be its last scheduled update.
In any event, Oxygen OS 16 brings Android 16 to the 2022 flagship. It also brings a variety of performance improvements, a visual overhaul, a redesigned photos app, the recent AI Recorder app, an upgraded Notes app, a more customizable home screen, and more customizable quick settings.
