Anyone bought and using CN version? Would like to know is there any problem with our local telco network? How about getting OTA?

Seems like online sellers on popular ecommerce platform selling CN version does not come with Oxygen OS. I wonder why, now that this phone was released to International market months ago.

Network wise wont have any issue since it support malaysia network
OTA should receive also i think but dunno the freq of the OTA

no oxygen os since the phone come direct from china

I own the OnePlus 9. Getting OTA is depends on when it was released. Option like Oxygen Updater exist so it is not a problem.

My phone is also CN version but seller will flash to OxygenOS. But I don't see any for OnePlus 13 CN version phone. Is it not possible to do so at this point?

This time around OnePlus 13 global version only available in 512gb. Shopee got sellers selling both China ROM & Global ROM. But if you select golbal ROM only have 512gb options to buy. Lower version like 256gb are only in China ROM

Yes. Apparently it is not so straight forward this round with the OP13 because Oneplus has made it difficult to install and use Oxygen OS on it China variants. The workaround is not available as of now. If you dont want to hassle of rooting and modding here and there, I suggest you look at the OP12 instead.

Any limitations of the CN version? Everything works as usual and expected? I don't mind to use Color OS as its very similar to Oxygen OS now.

i think not much of diff u can install gms but just maybe the AOD doesnt support some app notification

This is perfectly fine as I don't use AOD anyway. Given the difference in price, it is too much to ignore.

If you can live with color os then no issues.

No issue at all here as Oxygen OS is already very similar to Color OS.

most glaring is no android auto. most oneplus apps is in chinese and cater to the china ecosystem.

This is a letdown. Android Auto is useful when I have to use Google Maps when driving. I rarely use OnePlus app anyway.

Most likely Bank apps notifications cannot receive, that's what happened to my Color OS 15 Oppo Find X6 Pro China ROM Fon

This will be a dealbreaker for me. Anyone who owns a CN version of OnePlus 13 can attest to this?

How about now? Is firmware update still need to wipe and flash the phone?

Is OTA not working for Color OS on CN version? Now even Oxygen Updater app supports Color OS.

Bro with questions like this,🍻 I think even the seller themselves don't know how to explain to you.

I just want to know if OTA works with Color OS on the CN version?

QUOTE(mhhee @ Jun 19 2025, 02:08 PM)
1. Google Timeline not support
2. No 6Ghz support on Wi-Fi 6E or 7
3. No eSIM support
4. No Google smart unlock (body, location & bluetooth unlock) but have smart lock (only support bluetooth devices). However, Google smart unlock max is 4 hours but ColorOS smart lock no restriction.

Currently using ColorOS instead of OxygenOS due to faster OTA & more features.

Just got myself another unit last week.

OTA arrive on your Color OS without problem right? Any delay or missed notification on Color OS?
