The OnePlus 9 EOL announcement marks the end of software support for one of OnePlus’s most iconic flagship lineups. Launched in March 2021, the OnePlus 9 Series included the OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9 Pro, and OnePlus 9R. These devices debuted with OxygenOS 11, based on Android 11, and promised long-term support.
As per OnePlus’s policy, the OnePlus 9 Series received three major Android OS upgrades — Android 12, Android 13, and Android 14. The company also provided four years of security patches. With the OnePlus 9 EOL officially scheduled for March 2025, no more feature updates or Android versions are expected.
Interestingly, despite the End of Life announcement, OnePlus still released the April 2025 security patch for the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro. This raises the possibility that more minor updates may follow, but nothing is guaranteed beyond the OnePlus 9 EOL timeframe.
Once a device reaches EOL, it continues to function normally but lacks the assurance of regular updates and security patches. For OnePlus 9 EOL users, this means potential exposure to unpatched vulnerabilities and performance bugs over time.
To ensure continued safety, users are advised to stick to Play Store apps, activate Play Protect, and avoid sideloading unverified APKs. If you’re a tech enthusiast, installing custom ROMs may offer a way to extend your device’s usable life beyond the OnePlus 9 EOL stage.
The OnePlus 9 Series delivered exceptional value during its support window. From Hasselblad-tuned cameras to flagship Snapdragon chipsets, these phones remain powerful and capable even post-EOL.
