OxygenOS 13 Stable Out For OnePlus Nord CE 2

OnePlus started rolling out the OxygenOS 13 beta program update for OnePlus Nord CE 2 in November. Now, the company is gearing up to release the stable version of the Android 13-based update for the Nord smartphone. The new OS update is carrying several new features alongside the December security patch. What’s more, the update is releasing with the firmware version C.25 with a size of 4.5GB.

Just like any other OnePlus update, the new OxygenOS 13 will also roll out in batches. In other words, the update will be rolled out to a small number of users initially with the wide rollout happening in the coming days.

One of the most notable features of the new OxygenOS variant is the all-new Aquamorphic design. In addition to that, the company has also tried optimizing the fonts to improve visual comfort and readability. Here is the changelog for the all-new OxygenOS 13 update.
