The intriguing aspect of the most recent OnePlus 10 Pro update is how much it resembles the firmware of the company's flagship model, which was released earlier this month. As you can see, the changelog is largely consistent with what we have seen from the OxygenOS 14 stable build on the OnePlus 11 released two weeks ago. To put it mildly, it is impressive that OnePlus hasn't abandoned any cool features on a phone that is about to be two generations old.
