OnePlus has now officially announced a new OxygenOS 14.0.1.704 update for the Nord CE 4 5G. If you are in India, you can head over to the settings page of your smartphone to check for updates. OnePlus has stated that this update is currently in the rollout phase. This means some users may receive it early, while others may have to wait. Typically, the complete update rollout takes about a week or two from the official announcement.

Now let me talk about what this new update comes within the changelog below:
