OnePlus has started releasing the OxygenOS 14.0.1.704 update to Nord CE 4 devices in India. The update includes fixes and system improvements and also offers some interesting additions to the Nord CE 4.
The company confirmed the rollout of the update last Friday, saying it is being released in batches, so users might have to wait for it to appear on their handhelds.
