OnePlus is rolling out OxygenOS 16.0.2.400 for the Nord CE 5 in India. The update targets device model CPH2717_16.0.2.400(EX01) and is currently reaching a small group of users before wider release.
Photos and Video Tools Get Better
The Photos app now automatically straightens portrait and architectural photos when you crop or rotate them. Video editing adds several new tools: cutting, splitting, stitching multiple clips, adding music and text, adjusting playback speed, and cropping.
You can filter photos and videos by Motion Photo, Screenshots and screen recordings, or Edited items. Thumbnails load faster thanks to improved processing.
Easier Navigation and Customization
Storage cleanup tools are now accessible directly from Smart Sidebar. After resizing app icons and adding shortcut icons, you can drag and drop them to rearrange their position. This works for app clone icons too.
Circle to Search works better in gesture navigation. You can activate it by holding the area where the gesture bar usually appears, even when it’s hidden.
Security Updates
The update includes the January 2026 Android security patch. Private Safe now lets you edit images and videos without unlocking them first.
Phone Manager will ask if you want automatic blocklist updates over Wi-Fi and mobile data. Enabling this keeps the blocklist current and improves threat detection.
Who Can Install This Update
Only users already on OxygenOS 16 can get this update. If you’re still using OxygenOS 15, you need to upgrade to OxygenOS 16 first. The rollout starts with a small percentage of users today. A broader release will begin in a few days.
