OxygenOS 13 stable update w/ Android 13 now rolling out for OnePlus 10 Pro

After a series of Open Betas, the stable OxygenOS 13 update based upon Android 13 is now rolling out for the OnePlus 10 Pro.

Another divisive update, OxygenOS 13 bears an uncanny resemblance to ColorOS 13 often found on Oppo devices. The rollout was confirmed in a dedicated announcement post on the official OnePlus Forums alongside a substantial changelog. What’s interesting is that this update comes just a few days after Oppo pushed its own Android 13 update to the Find X5 series.

Kudos needs to be given as the Chinese brand is one of the few to push a stable Android 13 update for the OnePlus 10 Pro ahead of the likes of Samsung, Xiaomi, and more.
