OnePlus Open Receives Stable Android 16 with OxygenOS 16

OnePlus Open, the company’s debut foldable, is now getting the stable Android 16 upgrade wrapped in OxygenOS 16. The rollout begins in India as an over-the-air package identified as CPH2551_16.0.0.201(EX01), with a wider release promised for other regions soon. The update is staged in batches, so availability may vary by device and day.

What’s new at a glance

While the official changelog is extensive (mirroring the flood of tweaks that hit the OnePlus 12 a day earlier), the headline improvements are easy to grasp. OxygenOS 16 brings smoother multitasking on large, foldable screens, better continuity when jumping from the cover display to the inner panel, and refinements to the taskbar and split-screen tools. Expect under-the-hood gains too – quicker animations, tighter power management, and updated privacy and security components that align with Android 16.

Camera lovers should see steadier performance with low-light and preview responsiveness tuned for the Open’s unique dual-display workflow. There are also quality-of-life additions such as richer always-on personalization, smarter notification handling, and small but welcome touches across settings, accessibility, and gaming stability.

Rollout details

The Indian OTA is arriving gradually to reduce the chance of unforeseen issues. If you purchased your Open in India and haven’t seen the prompt yet, hold tight – it’s on the way. Users in Europe and North America are next in line, pending the usual approvals. As with any major platform jump, regional timing and feature availability can differ slightly.

How to update safely

1. Connect to Wi-Fi and charge above 50% battery.
2. Open Settings → About device → OxygenOS and check for updates.
3. Back up important data; major upgrades can reset app permissions and system caches.

For power users, the full changelog is a long read, but the takeaway is simple: OxygenOS 16 on Android 16 makes the OnePlus Open feel more cohesive as a foldable – snappier, more capable at multitasking, and better tuned for its two-screen lifestyle.

Variant note: The widely sold 16GB/512GB model remains supported, and the update is designed for all Open units in the eligible rollout wave.
