Android 14 update has started rolling out to a number of OnePlus phones thus far. The company’s 2023 flagship, the OnePlus 11 started getting the update, and the same goes for the OnePlus 10T, and more devices. Well, the latest in the line is the OnePlus Nord 3, as Android 14 has started rolling out to that phone.
Android 14 is rolling out to the OnePlus Nord 3 devices, though the rollout is quite limited for now
Do note that the update has started rolling out in a single market, for now. It is rolling out to Open Beta participants in India. That update is expected to spread like wildfire if no major bugs pop up. So, other markets should start getting it soon.
The OnePlus Nord 3 twin, OnePlus 11R, has started receiving this update too. The build numbers for the update are a bit different between them. The OnePlus Nord 3 is receiving CPH2491_14.0.0.100, while the OnePlus 11R is receiving CPH2487_14.0.0.201. OxygenOS 14 comes pre-installed on Android 14 here, of course.
Fluid Cloud, File Dock & Smart Cutout are useful, newly-added features
Having said that, a number of features are added here, the same as on other devices that are getting the update. Let’s start with Fluid Cloud. It is a new way of interaction with morphing forms. This allows you to view up-to-date info at a glance.
File Dock has also been added. This feature allows you to use drag and drop to transfer content between apps and devices. The Content Extraction feature can recognize and extract text and images from the screen. A single tap is required for this.
Smart Cutout is another useful feature added with OxygenOS 14. It allows you to separate multiple objects in a photo from the background. That way you don’t have to manually cut something out from a picture.
The ‘Shelf’ has been improved, and the same goes for the company’s Aquamorphic Design
The ‘Shelf’ has been improved, as more widget recommendations have been added. General system stability has been improved by the company. Apps should launch a bit faster now, while the OS will be smoother and animations better.
The company’s Aquamorphic Design has been cleaned up as well. It will have a clearer color style following this update. Some Aquamorphic-themed ringtones have been added too, and the notification sounds have been revamped.
On top of all that, a carbon tracking AOD screen has been added. It visualizes the carbon emissions you avoid when walking, instead of using a car.
