Android 13-based OxygenOS custom skin is available to vanilla OnePlus Nord 2 and OnePlus Nord 2 PAC-MAN Edition. OnePlus says that this is a staged rollout, which means the update will be available for limited users initially and then expand to all users once the company is sure that there are no major issues. Check out the new changes to OxygenOS 13 skin.

OxygenOS 13 brings new Aquamorphic Design theme colours for enhanced visual comfort. The system automatically applies the Aquamorphic Design philosophy to animations to make them natural and vivid. The update adds Shadow-Reflective Clock, with shadow simulating the orientation of the sun and moon. There is a new world clock widget that as the name suggests shows the time in different time zones.
