Last week, OnePlus began rolling out improvements to the global versions of the OnePlus 13R, including those in Europe, India, and North America. The update, OxygenOS 5.0.0.403, is being released in stages, so not everyone will get it at once – you might have to wait a little longer for yours.
The company also began rolling out an update for the flagship OnePlus 13, labeled OxygenOS 5.0.0.402. While both updates share some similarities, the one for the flagship model includes a few more enhancements and bug fixes. But let’s start with what’s the same for both.
Both updates also improve Bluetooth stability and expand compatibility, which is always welcome. One of the more interesting additions, in my opinion, is the Touch to share feature, which allows users to easily share photos and files with just a tap, including with iOS devices.
For the OnePlus 13R, the update also introduces personalized watermarks in the Photos app. Plus, it fixes an issue where photos taken with the rear camera were too bright in Photo mode. It also enhances the colors in images captured with the main camera and telephoto lens, improving overall camera performance and stability.
OnePlus 13 gets a new 1GB software update.
This OTA with December 2024 security patch should roll out to all devices soon. Have you updated your device?

I always think it’s a great idea to stay on top of software updates. They fix those annoying bugs, add cool new features, and, of course, keep your device secure, so make sure to install it once it reaches your device.
