OnePlus 8, 8 Pro, and 8T receive Oxygen OS 13 (Android 13) in the United States from T-Mobile and Verizon [Download]

Last year, OnePlus successfully rolled out Oxygen OS 13 stable firmware update to the entire OnePlus 8 series. However, due to carrier restrictions in the United States, carrier variants like T-Mobile and Verizon were left out. After almost 6 months of waiting, T-Mobile has finally released Android 13 (based on OxygenOS 13) for OnePlus 8, 8 Pro, and 8T phones.

Oxygen OS 13 brings a brand new Aquamorphic Design, inspired by water for a more natural and vivid look. It applies across the system, thanks to Android 13’s dynamic wallpaper-based theme engine.

Additionally, Oxygen OS 13 features Android 13 and all of its goodies. You also get all the updated OnePlus apps and new features.

The update also brings huge performance improvements with the addition of new Dynamic Computing Engine to improve the system speed, stability, battery life, and app experience.

LinkBoost 4.0 can detect and improve the network quality for faster download speeds, even in very slow network conditions. Optimizes the IEM ecosystem.

See the full changelog below. Also check out the OnePlus video exploring Oxygen OS 13 in all its glory.
