Now we will talk about Android 14-based OxygenOS 14 for OnePlus smartphones. Flagship OnePlus devices ranging from the OnePlus 9 to the flagship OnePlus 11 series are eligible for the OxygenOS 14 update based on Android 14.

OnePlus OxygenOS 14 Release Date:

OnePlus will introduce its devices’ Android 14-based OxygenOS 14 software version this year. Because OxygenOS is one of the special software, the company has strictly maintained the naming strategy.

OnePlus has already updated almost all eligible smartphones with Android 13-based OxygenOS 13. The OnePlus 10 Pro was also the first non-Pixel device to receive the Android 13 update, beating other smartphones like Samsung, Realme, OPPO, etc. However, it is not easy to commit to the release date of OxygenOS 14, while the timeline should be mid-August. 

Because the OnePlus announced the flagship OxygenOS 13 in August 2022 after the stable Android 13 release. Thus, we can expect OxygenOS 14 in August 2023. We hope the Chinese firm will try to bring the upgrade on time with the upcoming OxygenOS version.

OxygenSO 14 Design and Enhancements:

OnePlus introduced major UI changes with OxygenOS 12, bringing the Material You-based Color UI feature that inspires the UI color combination from the chosen home screen wallpaper. While it improved on that feature with OxygenOS 13, we didn’t see any significant changes to the UI. Hence, OnePlus may introduce major UI design improvements with the Android 14-based OxygneOS 14 update.

While it is unclear which UI elements OnePlus will improve with the OxygenOS 14 update, we can see changes to the home screen, lock screen, notification tray, quick settings area, and more.
