OnePlus has started rolling the OxygenOS 10.5.9 update for the OnePlus Nord smartphone.

As per the changelog shared on OnePlus Community forum, the new OxygenOS 10.5.9 carries October Android security patch along with some bug fixes and general system improvements. It also brings a new gaming tools box for “convenient” switches of Fnatic mode.

OnePlus explains that with the Game Space, users will now get notifications in three ways to provide a better gaming experience. There’s a quick reply feature in a small window for WhatsApp that can be enabled by swiping down from upper right/left corners of the screen in gaming mode. The new OxygenOS 10.5.9 also brings a “mis-touch prevention” feature for OnePlus Nord users. Other features with the latest OxygenOS for Nord include improved Bluetooth connection stability and network stability. The company says that users in Europe are also receiving the update with the firmware version 10.5.9.AC01BA.
