Is OnePlus OxygenOS 13.1 a major update?

OnePlus is preparing for its flagship smartphone launch these days. But in addition to the hardware products, we could also get a slight glimpse of the next OxygenOS version. In the meantime, a few of us are wondering whether OnePlus OxygenOS 13.1 will be a major update or a minor one with tiny improvements.

Yes! It’s a question to answer how the company will release its software product in the market – as a big or a small iteration. On the flip side, it’s bizarre to talk on this matter, since the tech maker has still not released the OxygenOS 13 for many old devices. Although, we have to explain a few things before we jump to a conclusion.

The past reports and user statements reveal that OxygenOS 12.1 was quite a good upgrade. Though the firmware didn’t bring huge changes over the 12.0 version. Yet, it was sufficient to improve the overall experience of the device and maintained stability in a better manner.

Comparatively, we found these terms missing in the OxygenOS 13 update. Of course, the iteration bears a bunch of features and functions. Still, users’ complaints about battery draining, network issues, and WiFi calling defects tell that the firmware was unsuccessful to serve as a major upgrade.

Hence, the company might take OnePlus OxygenOS 13.1 as a major update with better improvements, additional features, and bug fixes for its gadgets.

Another logical point–

OnePlus has said to provide four OxygenOS upgrades to its devices. Notably, the manufacturer specifically mentioned ‘OxygenOS’ and not Android, in its software policy. Thus, there are chances that OxygenOS 13.1 is considered one of those four updates.

Though we cannot say whether the next OxygenOS version will be a major update or not, we can consider it a significant update for our OnePlus devices. Moreover, the tag of the ‘major’ and ‘minor’ depends on the specific changes and improvements included in the update. Eventually, we hope that the company throws some light on OxygenOS 13.1 in the Cloud 11 launch event.
