OnePlus Reassures Users: OnePlus 13 and 13R to Receive Four Major OS Updates

In a bid to alleviate confusion, OnePlus has confirmed that both the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R will indeed receive four major operating system updates, fulfilling its commitment. This will include updates to Android 16, 17, 18, and 19, starting from the original release of Android 15.

Earlier today, there was a misunderstanding when a representative from OnePlus US indicated that the initial software version pre-installed on the devices would count as one of the updates. This statement sparked confusion among users, prompting OnePlus to clarify that it will not include the out-of-the-box software in its update tally.

OnePlus maintains that providing four OS updates strikes the right balance for user needs. The company also extended the period for security patches from five years to six years, demonstrating a commitment to device longevity.
