If you’re using a OnePlus device, there’s good news for you. According to a report, the OxygenOS 16 update is now rolling out to the last eligible OnePlus device — the OnePlus Pad Lite.
The full rollout began in early November with high-end devices like the OnePlus Open and OnePlus 13. It then gradually expanded to mid-range and affordable Nord CE models. Now, the update is reaching the final devices on the list.
Now This Device Is Getting the Update
As shared by OnePlus in an official community post, the OxygenOS 16 update for the OnePlus Pad Lite comes with firmware versions OPD2481_16.0.3.500(EX01) and OPD2480_16.0.3.500(EX01).
Currently, the update is available in India as part of an initial rollout, and it will soon be released in other regions as well.
How to Check for the Update
If you’re using a OnePlus Pad Lite, you can manually check for the update by going to:
Settings → System & Updates → Software Update
If the update doesn’t appear, you can join the OnePlus Release Candidate program by following this path:
Settings → System & Updates → Software Update → Beta Program
Then tap the “Update Now” button to download the update.
Update Will Gradually Reach All Users
It’s important to note that the OnePlus Pad Lite is the last device to receive the OxygenOS 16 update. There are no other OnePlus devices left in the list to get this major upgrade.
Since updates are released in batches, it may take some time before all users in every region receive it.
