In response to a user on Twitter, OnePlus’ Support account revealed that the OnePlus 11R will receive four major Android updates and five years of security updates. This is the most software updates any R-series phone has received, indicating that both newly released OnePlus smartphones will receive up to Android 17. The devices currently ship with Android 13-based OxygenOS.

Only a few devices priced under Rs 40,000 are eligible for up to four years of Android OS updates. Most of them only offer a maximum of two or three versions. The OnePlus 11R 5G is a great option for those who want an affordable OnePlus phone that is expected last longer and stays relevant (at least on the software side of things) with 4 major Android updates.
