OnePlus Nord N200 5G Android 12 Update Released

Last Updated on June 13, 2022 by Anu Joy

OnePlus has started seeding the OxygenOS 12 based on the Android 12 OS for its OnePlus Nord N200 smartphone. This update will be available for the unlocked version of the Nord N200 users in the US and Canada. Apart from the new operating system, this update also bundles in the May 2022 security package and a host of features and improvements. 

The OnePlus Nord N200 is a budget 5G smartphone that was introduced back in 2021. It came with Android 11 out of the box and OnePlus had promised one major update for the handset. This new C.15 firmware packs the stable build of Android 12 and is most likely to be the final major OS update for the N200. It may not be getting the upcoming Android 13 OS update. However, it will get security update patches for three years as promised. 

The new firmware updates its AI System Booster to 2.1, which will help maintain performance even under high load. The Dark mode has received three adjustable levels to offer more personalisation options to the user. The Gallery app has received a few enhancements and the newly added “Work Life Balance” feature lets you switch between modes through quick settings. Let’s have a look at the complete changelog below.
