  • Aquamorphic Design: Upgrades Aquamorphic Design with a natural, gentle, and clearer color style for a more comfortable color experience. Adds Aquamorphic-themed ringtones and revamps the system notification sounds. Improves system animations by making them even smoother.

The update will reach users in regions other than India in “batches.” Further, a rollback guide is also available in the previously linked forum post in case major bugs affect the user experience. OnePlus previously rolled out Android 14 Update for the OnePlus 11 series and the Nord 3 devices.
