OnePlus assures of at least two years of regular security updates, which is to say that Nord should keep getting these patches for at least another year or so. Apart from Nord, the OnePlus 9 series and OnePlus 8 series phones have already received the May Android Security patch on May 10 and May 26, respectively. Older OnePlus devices are yet to receive the update.
