OnePlus has kept its promise of a seamless and feature-rich user experience with the release of the Nord 3 upgrade. Globally available OxygenOS 14.0.0.510 includes the April 2024 security patch along with additional features. Let’s explore this upgrade.
A Focus on User Comfort
In addition to enhancing security, this update includes enhancements that enhance user convenience. A few highlights are:
Are you sick and weary of taking a full screen photo when you just need a portion of it? “Partial screenshot” is an option in the Smart Sidebar. This enables you to capture just the appropriate area of your screen for quicker sharing and storage.
Use the new collage builder in the Photos app to create frameless photo collages. With the update, you can create collages without using frames, giving you more creative control over how they appear.
Granular Volume Control: Use the brand-new app-based volume control to manage your music. With this version, you can use the volume bar to change the app loudness. You may now play your favorite games loudly while keeping your notifications quiet.
Flashlight shortcut: Eliminate stumbling in the dark! Holding down the volume down button turns on the flashlight when the screen is off. You can easily turn on the lights by using this shortcut.
Better Search: It’s now simpler to find apps on the OnePlus Nord 3. Fuzzy searches are now supported in the Drawer style Home screen search bar. You can save time by having the search return relevant apps when you write the first letter of the app.
User Input and Phased Launch
The update is being made available gradually, and a larger rollout is on the horizon. Before releasing the update, OnePlus is able to monitor and address any issues thanks to this tiered approach.
If you haven’t received the OxygenOS 14.0.0.510 update notification, follow these easy steps to manually check for it:
Open the OnePlus Nord 3’s Settings app.
Go to the “About Device” page.
Press and hold OxygenOS.
Click on Check for Updates.
OnePlus encourages active participation in feedback. Once the update has been installed, you can use Google Dialer to report bugs. Use *#800# to report a bug and provide a description of the problem.
The OnePlus 8 Series’ Support is Ending
The OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro no longer receive software updates, but the Nord 3 now has more functionality. When these devices were first released in April 2020, four years of security updates and three significant Android OS upgrades were promised. The last firmware update, OxygenOS 13.1.0.587, is being sent to Indian consumers. For system security and stability, this update incorporates the April 2024 security patch.
The software support termination of the OnePlus 8 series symbolizes the inherent lifespan of electronics. Although they won’t receive security upgrades, users can continue to use these phones. For smartphone users that appreciate the newest features and security, this is essential.
Future Prospects: Innovation from OnePlus
OnePlus is renowned for producing user-friendly, high-performance smartphones. This promise is demonstrated with the Nord 3 OxygenOS update. OnePlus consistently upgrades its features to enhance the user experience.
It will be interesting to see what innovations OnePlus delivers to upcoming smartphones. With its emphasis on software upgrades and user-friendliness, OnePlus is well-positioned to compete in the rapidly evolving smartphone market.
