Following its commitment, OnePlus is now rolling out the stable OxygenOS 15 update for OnePlus 10 Pro users. Currently limited to the India region, the update is being rolled out in batches. It is expected to reach other regions soon. Additionally, its sibling, the OnePlus 10T, received the stable OxygenOS 15 update just on the 9th of this month. And just like the OnePlus 10T, this is also the last OS upgrade for the OnePlus 10 Pro.
The update comes with the firmware version NE2211_15.0.0.401(EX01), and the total size of the update is 3.33 GB. From Live Alerts to iOS file transfer, most features are included, but AI features are missing from this update.
It’s possible that some users may have received the update today, while others have not. This doesn’t mean you won’t get it—it’s a phased rollout that typically takes about 1–2 weeks. You should receive it sooner or later.
