Can You Update to Android 11 on Your OnePlus Nord Right Away?
No, OnePlus plans to roll out the update in a phased manner, which means you may not see the update on your phone right away. However, you'll only have to wait a few days or so for the update to become available for your device.
The New Features Android 11 Brings to Your Phone
Since Android 11 is a major software update, there are quite a few new features you'll see in this version on your phone.
Some of the notable features outlined in the announcement post on the OnePlus forums are as follows:
A Dedicated Dark Mode Toggle
You now have a dedicated dark mode toggle in the Quick Settings menu. This lets you quickly enable and disable the dark mode on your OnePlus Nord.
Stories in Your Gallery
The Gallery app will now automatically create stories based on your local photos and videos. This will be done every week.
Other than that, there are security enhancements and a few other general improvements, which you normally see in all major Android updates.
How to Update to Android 11 on Your OnePlus Nord
Before you proceed to update, make sure your OnePlus Nord has at least 3GB of free storage space. This is the minimum amount of space you need to download and use this update.
As for installing the update, you'll get the usual notification alerting you of this update. Tap the notification and it'll let you finish the update process.
In case you don't see the notification, head into Settings > System and tap System updates to manually trigger the Android 11 update on your phone.
How to Immediately Update to Android 11 on Your OnePlus Nord
If you're too eager to get your hands on this update, and you can't wait for it to reach your phone, you can go ahead and flash the OTA update file on your phone. This manually installs the update, letting you enjoy all Android 11 features right away.
Be cautious while doing this as this makes changes to your phone's system files.
If you're ready, download the European [ZIP] or Indian [ZIP] OTA files, and use the local update method to install the file on your phone. Once that's done, your phone will be running Android 11.
