Through a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) session at the end of April 2021, OnePlus announced on its community forum that the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T smartphones will receive the Android 11 update by the end of August 2021. A report from December 2020 says that the OnePlus Nord N100 may only receive just one major OS update to Android 11. Typically, most Android smartphones support two years of operating system updates and three years of security updates but that doesn't seem to be the case for the midrange OnePlus smartphone.
