OnePlus rolls out OxygenOS 16 update to the last eligible device

The OxygenOS 16 update is now rolling out to the last eligible OnePlus device, the OnePlus Pad Lite. This entire rollout has been smooth, which began in early November with high-end devices like the OnePlus Open, OnePlus 13, and gradually expanded to mid-range and cheaper Nord CE models.
As shared by OnePlus in a post on the official community, the OxygenOS 16 update for the OnePlus Pad Lite is tagged with the firmware versions OPD2481_16.0.3.500(EX01) and OPD2480_16.0.3.500(EX01). It’s currently available in India as the initial rollout, but it will soon expand to the remaining regions.
If you’re rocking a OnePlus Pad Lite, navigate to Settings > System & Updates > Software update to manually check for the available update. If it doesn’t show up, you can join the OnePlus Release Candidate Program to reduce the wait time. For this, go to Settings > System & Updates > Software update > Beta Program and tap the “update now” button to download the update.
With the OnePlus Pad Lite now joining the OxygenOS 16 party, there’s no more OnePlus device left to receive this major upgrade. However, note that the rollout progresses in batches, so it may take some time to reach all users across all regions.
To recap, here’s a list of OnePlus devices that have received the OxygenOS 16 update:
- OnePlus Open
- OnePlus 13, 13R, 13S
- OnePlus 12, 12R
- OnePlus 11, 11R
- OnePlus 10 Pro
- OnePlus Nord 5, Nord 4, Nord 3
- OnePlus Nord CE 5, Nord CE 4, Nord CE 4 Lite 5G
- OnePlus Pad 3, Pad 2, Pad, Pad Lite
Soon, OxygenOS 16 and Android 16 will become old topics as Google has already been working on its successor, Android 17. In fact, the first beta build could drop as soon as this month. You can read more about Android 17 here.
