Earlier this week, OnePlus unveiled its latest budget handset in the OnePlus Nord N200. This device is rather impressive as it’s the company’s cheapest smartphone to feature 5G connectivity. However, there’s a larger problem at play here, and it has nothing to do with the sub-$250 price or the specs. OnePlus announces further integration with Oppo in an effort to improve software updates Instead, it has everything to do with the embarrassing software update plans that OnePlus continues to disappoint with. OnePlus confirmed to 9to5Google that it will only provide « one major software update », meaning that since the Nord N200 comes with Android 11, it will likely only be upgraded to Android 12 and that’s it. From there, you might have to dive into the world of rooting so you can try and install some custom ROMs onto the device.
