TL;DR
- The OnePlus Nord CE 6 is reportedly receiving only two years of Android updates (up to Android 18), compared to the four years promised for the Nord CE 5 (up to Android 19).
- OnePlus’ launch materials for the Nord CE 6 promises six years of “system fluency” but avoids specific commitments regarding platform or security update counts.
- The older Nord CE 5 offers a longer overall support lifecycle, featuring six years of security updates compared to the four years reported for the Nord CE 6.
OnePlus is showing signs of distress in some global regions, but the company is confidently moving forward with launches in others. The company launched devices like the Nord 6 and the Pad Pro last month, and just yesterday it added another phone to its portfolio: the OnePlus Nord CE 6. However, there’s a curious detail about the Nord CE 6 that flew under the radar: OnePlus is offering fewer update commitments for this new phone compared to its predecessor.
As per leaker OnePlus Club on X, the OnePlus Nord CE 6 will receive software updates up to Android 18. On the other hand, the older OnePlus Nord CE 5 will receive software updates up to Android 19.
