So without any further ado, let’s get started with the steps to install Android 13 onto your OnePlus 5/5T.
What’s New in Android 13?
With Android 13, you get a slew of new and intriguing features. To begin with, there are now 16 themed icon sets, as opposed to 4 in its predecessor. Talking about which, you will now also be able to implement these themed icons on various third-party apps as well. Apart from that, there’s now the ability to interact and edit the contents that are copied on the clipboard. Then the addition of a QR Code scanner in the Quick Setting and the per-app language change [without affecting the overall system language] is also worthy of praise. Moreover, the latest OS build has done a great job in polishing the rough corners that were present in Android 12 and hence has made it even more stable and user-friendly. So on that note, let’s make you aware of the steps to install Android 13 onto your OnePlus 5/5T right away.
