The OnePlus 9 series is next in line to receive its Android 13 update after the 10 Pro had its turn a couple of months earlier. The updates are pretty much the same, with the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro gaining the new Aquamorphic design for enhanced visual support and theme colors. This new design also ushers in a new set of natural and vivid animations that feel more fluid on your phone.
The OnePlus 9 series has also gained a new type of Always-On display to show live information regarding your music, ride-hailing, and food deliveries. On the security side, OxygenOS 13 brings in the Advanced Encryption Standard for better security over your phone’s files.
With the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro gaining OxygenOS 13 here in November, we’re still waiting on the 10T to receive its turn for a stable release. During its launch, OnePlus stated the device would be upgraded to Android 13 later this year, and it has gone through a closed beta test in India already. Hopefully, we’re in for an update in the next month or so.
The OnePlus 10T capitalizes on speed and performance. With its new Snapdragon SoC and a smooth 120Hz display, the 10T can ensure your eyes are never bored. Pair that with its efficient battery and 125W charging in the U.S. and the OnePlus 10T can go from empty to a full charge in just twenty minutes.
