OxygenOS 13 features, release date, eligible devices and other things you should know about

The release of Android 13 is almost on the horizon and it’s that time when smartphone OEMs start rolling out the latest version of the custom OS. With OnePlus, the next OS will be the Oxygen 13 OS and it’ll be based on Android 13. OxygenOS is popular for its near-stock-like UI with many added features. However, since OxygenOS 11, OnePlus has changed the UI and turned it into ColorOS-like. Things got even worse with OxygenOS 12 but many are wondering how OxygenOS 13 will pan out. In this guide, you’ll get to know about OxygenOS 13, its expected release date, rumored features, supported devices, and more.

OxygenOS expected release date

As the upcoming OxygenOS 13 is based on the latest Android 13, its release date will depend on the release date of Android 13. Recently, Google released the final Android 13 Beta update, so the stable build of Android 13 isn’t that far away.

OnePlus is expected to announce OxygenOS 13 soon, which will be available for beta testing. According to reports, OxygenOS 13 could be announced at the start of August alongside the OnePlus 10T. OnePlus will be sharing the new features at the event that will see the launch of OxygenOS 13. As for the stable update, OxygenOS 13 is expected to be released in October or early November. It’ll initially be available for the OnePlus 10 Pro and then other eligible devices.

Expected features of OxygenOS 13

Most users wish to get back to the stock experience that OxygenOS 13 was originally known for. However, there’s not a lot of hope for that as OnePlus is looking to head in the opposite direction. As of now, there isn’t a lot of information available regarding the features of the upcoming OxygenOS 13. However, it is expected to have the basic features of Android 13, privacy and security changes, minor UI changes, and more. Additionally, the update is also expected to come with a new AOD screen and canvas AOD.
