May 2023 began but April OxygenOS update is still missing for OnePlus phones

We have entered May and still, OnePlus has not served the April 2023 OxygenOS update to many of its devices. Eventually, the wait is quite exhausting for users who are eagerly looking for the impressive and efficient OxygenOS 13.1 version.

Yes! OxygenOS 13.1 is a brand-new journey for OnePlus handset users. Yet, it remains enclosed on Nord CE 3 Lite and OnePlus 10 Pro models. While other consumers and OnePlus fans are still anticipating the next major software upgrade.

Compared to March 2023, OnePlus is running quite slow for the moment, as it has not even pushed out the initial security patch rollouts for its devices, particularly the OnePlus 9 series. Besides, the tech maker has not released the roadmap on how it will select the devices to benefit them will the OxygenOS 13.1 features.

Users have been expecting OnePlus to start delivering the new version with the April 2023 security patch. However, it’s now stretching too far. Although, we have an assumption regarding why this delay is taking place.

APRIL 2023 SECURITY PATCH IS LATE – WHY?

While digging into the details, we found that the Chinese firm is celebrating labor day. This occasion is considered a national holiday for up to five days. Hence, there will be a halt to the OnePlus April 2023 OxygenOS update distribution process from April 29 to May 03.

Thereafter, the tech giant will once again take on the speed and begin the ultimate rollout of the latest security patch among its device owners. By that time, we need to keep patience to hold a new software experience in our hands.

And who knows the OnePlus 9 series users may get a sweet fruit of this patience in the form of OxygenOS 13.1. To be mentioned, this fruit will be loaded with a number of key features of that particular application. So, a few days more and you would have an interesting version on your device.
