TL;DR
- OnePlus will extend the same update commitment as the OnePlus 11 to the OnePlus 11R.
- The company has confirmed that the cheaper phone will also get four years of Android updates and five years of security patches.
The OnePlus 11 launched recently and became the first OnePlus phone to take advantage of the company’s new update policy. It’s slated to get four years of Android updates and five years of security patches, right up there with Samsung’s industry-leading upgrade commitment. However, the new OnePlus flagship isn’t the only device that’ll enjoy this perk.
According to a tweet by OnePlus support (h/t Abhishek Yadav), the newly launched OnePlus 11R will also get four years of OS and five years of security updates. The device launched with Android 13 on board, which means it should see updates till Android 17, making it the second OnePlus device with the longest software update commitment.
Hello Sai! We appreciate you for writing to us. We would like to inform you that, the OnePlus 11R device will receive 4 major Android updates and 5 years of security updates respectively. Hope this information helps!
The OnePlus 11R is a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 phone exclusive to India. It’s a close match to the globally-selling OnePlus 10T but offers a few minor upgrades and a cheaper price tag. The fact that OnePlus is trickling its flagship update policy down to its more affordable handsets is a positive sign for sure. We hope to see other cheaper OnePlus lines, like the Nord series, also get the same treatment in the future.
