OnePlus was a little late to roll out the September 2020 security patch update to the OnePlus Nord, which arrived at the start of this month. But that thankfully won’t be the case this time around as the company has already started pushing out the October security patches to its latest mid-ranger. The OxygenOS 10.5.9 is rolling out in batches to the OnePlus Nord and brings several new improvements alongside the security bump to October 2020.
The new update for the OnePlus Nord adds a new gaming tools box within Game Space, a new quick reply and mistouch prevention feature for gaming, improves Bluetooth and network connection stability, and fixes general bugs. The full update changelog is posted below:
-
System
