OnePlus has gone public with its Android 16 rollout schedule and device list, bringing clarity to when various models will receive OxygenOS 16. The update will kick off in November 2025 and then spread through December and into the first quarter of 2026.
November’s batch includes their newest and most premium models—OnePlus 13, 13R, 13s, Open, 12, 12R—and even the Pad 2 and Pad 3 are set to join in. December brings in slightly older phones: OnePlus 11 5G, 11R, the Nord 5 series, Nord CE5, CE4, and Nord 3 5G all fall into that window. The final stretch, during Q1 2026, covers OnePlus 10 Pro, Nord CE4 Lite, the original OnePlus Pad, and its Lite variant.

OnePlus says timing may vary by region, and the list focuses on global devices. Also worth noting: the upcoming OnePlus 15 will launch with Android 16 baked in, meaning it won’t need to wait for updates.
OxygenOS 16 brings more than just a core version bump. OnePlus is promising a visual lift that draws on elements seen in iOS, plus new AI integrations and even support for pairing with an Apple Watch. This is one of the boldest redesigns from OnePlus so far, signaling confidence in how their software evolves.
If you own any of the listed models, this roadmap gives you a clearer idea of when to expect the update. For newer units, it lands relatively quickly. For older hardware, patience will be necessary. Either way, it feels like OnePlus is trying to smooth the upgrade path ahead.
