OnePlus 11 users in one country are being treated to an early Christmas present in stable form

But the Galaxy S23 family was spoiled with an amazingly early collection of One UI 6 tweaks and improvements late last month, and both the Xperia 1 V and Xperia 10 V quickly followed suit with their own over-the-air Android 14 rollouts.

Now it's time for the OnePlus 11 to join the club, at least in India and at least as far as beta testers are concerned. That's right, the phone's stable OxygenOS 14 update is currently making its way across a single (major) market for folks who participated in the company's Close Beta and Open Beta programs, although the deployment is expected to go global soon... as long as no big issues are reported.

That gives OnePlus plenty of time to slowly ramp things up well before Christmas around the world and bring some holiday cheer into the houses of all owners of this state-of-the-art 6.7-inch device. 

To prepare yourself for what's to come, you should probably make sure your handset has at least 5 gigs of unoccupied storage space and a battery level above 30 percent before starting your OxygenOS 14 download and installation.

This obviously adds a bunch of proprietary stuff to all those "stock" Android 14 enhancements you can get all the details on in our in-depth review right here. That makes for a pretty lengthy official changelog you can check out in full as follows:

Pantanal Service

• Adds cross-device support for Fluid Cloud. Now you can check the connection status of devices on your account at a glance.

Smart efficiency

• Adds Content Extraction, a feature that can recognize and extract text and images from the screen with one tap;

With or without Android 14, the OnePlus 11 is undoubtedly one of the overall best phones money can buy right now, especially at a cool Black Friday discount available pretty much nationwide.
