OnePlus Nord 2 OxygenOS A.13 OTA

Interestingly, the European variant of the OnePlus Nord 2 is getting the October 2021 Android security patches instead of the latest November one. Since the official announcement post for the update has yet to go live, the reason behind this little discrepancy is currently unknown.

The update has already started rolling out to users in a staged fashion. This means that it will reach a small number of OnePlus Nord 2 users initially, with a broader rollout to follow in the next few days. If you haven’t received the OTA prompt on your device so far, you can download the update package from the links below and flash it manually.
