OnePlus India is seeding a firmware update to the OnePlus 13s with some nice upgrades. The firmware, OxygenOS 16.0.3.501, is currently rolling out, and features bypass charging, and 50MP photo editing as highlights.
The bypass charging kicks in when doing more intensive tasks like gaming, streaming, or navigating, and allows both using the phone and charging the battery. Editing up to 50MP photos without loss of quality is available in the OnePlus Photos app.
Here’s the full changelog.
