OnePlus Nord gets stable OxygenOS 11 update, OnePlus 7 and 7T series move up to Open Beta 3

The OnePlus Nord is now receiving the stable Android 11-based OxygenOS 11, about a month after Open Beta 3 rolled out. This update brings major changes to the interface (including dark mode) and even enables the Always On Display feature.

Here are a few screenshots from users that already updated. After updating, you can enable AOD from Settings > Customization, there’s also a new Insight clock style for the Ambient display. The Shelf (which offers at-a-glance info and quick shortcuts) has been redesigned, you can enable it from the Launcher settings.
