OnePlus Nord N100 phones have started receiving a new software update with the December 2020 Android security patch. Available as OxygenOS 10.5.5 in Europe and OxygenOS 10.5.4 in North America, the OnePlus Nord N100 update also brings a handful of system-level optimisations. There are also improvements in camera functions and network stability of the affordable OnePlus phone.

The Chinese company has posted the details and the changelog of the new OxygenOS software for the OnePlus Nord N100 on the OnePlus forums.

In terms of bug fixes, the OxygenOS update fixes an issue that makes the phone not wake up under certain circumstances. There is also a fix for a low probability call noise issue.
