According to a post from the OnePlus community, the OnePlus 11 will receive the stable OxygenOS 14 update in mid-November, followed by other devices.

It shouldn’t take long for the stable Android 14 update to roll out given the software similarities Nothing OS has to “stock” Android, but we’ll have to wait and see.
Motorola cell phones
So far, Motorola hasn’t said anything about its plans to move to Android 14. However, based on past experience with Android 13 updates, most mid-range and high-end models will be able to get it sometime in 2024.
We checked the official Lenovo community forum for the Android 14 update scenario and found only duplicate answers like this:
“We don’t have any details about Android 14 yet.”
And this is different:
“We haven’t made any announcements about Android 14 updates yet. Even after we announce our plans for which phones will be updated, we won’t be able to provide any timeframe for when they will be updated.”
As of now, the only device that has been confirmed as part of active Lenovo/Motorola-branded Android 14 development is the Lenovo Tab Extreme. However, based on Motorola’s update promises for its latest devices, the following smartphones are likely to receive the Android 14 update in no particular order:
Motorola Razr 40 Ultra Motorola Razr 40 Motorola Edge 40 Pro Motorola Edge 40 Motorola Edge+ (2023) Motorola Edge 30 Ultra |
Motorola Edge 30 Pro Motorola Edge 30 Neo Motorola Edge 30 Fusion Motorola Edge 30 Motorola Moto X40 Motorola Moto X30 Pro |
Motorola Moto S30 Pro Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) Motorola Moto G (2023) Motorola Moto G84 Motorola Moto G73 |
