OnePlus also announced its extended software maintenance plan. It’s expected to provide three major Android updates and four-year security updates for flagship phones including T and R models. As well as OnePlus 8 and newer phones. However, for the original OnePlus Nord and newer Nord models, as well as OnePlus Nord CE 5G.

OnePlus Nord N mobile phone’s maintenance plan has been further reduced. They promising to provide only one major Android update and security update within three years. This applies from OnePlus Nord N10 and OnePlus Nord N100, and will continue to be used in future OnePlus Nord N phones.
