OnePlus Open is now getting Android 14, but you may have to wait

OnePlus has finally started rolling out Android 14 with OxygenOS 14 to the OnePlus Open. There’s a catch though, and you may have to wait to get the update because of it.

The OnePlus Open is now getting Android 14, but you may not get it straight away

What’s going on? Well, the stable update is rolling out, but it’s rolling out to people who were a part of the Close Beta and Open Beta program in India first. So, everyone else might have to wait a bit longer in order to get the update.

This will give a chance to OnePlus to iron out any additional issues that may pop up. Chances are that all other users will have to wait a couple more weeks to get the update but that’s just a wild assumption.

A bunch of core Android 14 changes are included in this update, though they’re not a part of OnePlus’ changelog. In that changelog, the company only listed changes made directly to OxygenOS, as per usual.

New functionality has been added, and the whole system should run even smoother now

The company has added ‘Aqua Dynamics’ with this update. That is a new way of interacting with “morphing forms”. It basically allows you to view up-to-date information at a glance.

This update also adds ‘File Dock’, so you can now drag and drop to transfer content between apps and devices. ‘Content Extraction’ has also been added. OxygenOS 14 can recognize and extract text and images from the screen with a single tap.

The ‘Smart Cutout’ feature is now also here, and it allows you to separate multiple objects in a photo from the background. You can then save that image or share it, whatever you want. This is great for making stickers and making some neat-looking images.

OnePlus has also improved the ‘Shelf’

The ‘Shelf’ has been improved too, as more widget recommendations have been added. Photo and video-related permission management has been improved. The same goes for system stability, as apps should launch even faster now, and the animations should be smoother too.

Aquamorphic Design was updated with a ‘natural, gentle, and clearer color style’. Aquamorphic-themed ringtones have been added, and system notification sounds have been revamped in this update.

On top of all that, OnePlus added carbon tracking AOD that “visualizes the carbon emissions you avoid by walking instead of driving” to the OnePlus Open.
