OxygenOS 15 Launching on October 24 – Here’s What’s New!
Oppo has already announced ColorOS 15 based on Android 15, which will roll out on October 24. The update will bring fresh features and design improvements to OnePlus phones which are outside China.
In recent news, the OnePlus Community has confirmed that OxygenOS 15 will officially launch on October 24, just a few days after the introduction of the Snapdragon 8 Elite (or 8 Gen 4) chip.
OxygenOS 15 is set to introduce visual enhancements and new AI-driven tools. The slogan ‘Speed meets AI’ hints at a focus on performance and intelligent features. This aligns with the changes seen in Oppo’s ColorOS 15 which also has a range of visual and performance upgrades. However, OnePlus has not fully revealed all the new features yet reports suggest several exciting additions in OxygenOS.
According to reports, OxygenOS 15 will include Gemini integration as well as an AI-powered photo editing tool similar to Google’s Magic Eraser.
According to the reports, OxygenOS 15 includes a revamped control center, which seems to take inspiration from both iOS and Xiaomi’s HyperOS. Swiping down from the left side of the screen may open the notification panel, while swiping from the right might open the control center.
This is expected to be one of the biggest visual changes in the new update. The control center layout could feature a media player in a 2×2 grid, a 1×2 brightness slider, and a volume control in another 1×2 grid.
The OnePlus 13 is expected to launch soon after the new chip, possibly later in October. Xiaomi and iQOO are also planning to introduce their new flagship phones around the same time.
According to earlier leaks, the OnePlus 13 could have a custom version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip focused on delivering better power efficiency. The phone may also come with a large 6000mAh battery supporting 100W fast charging.
The display of the phone is rumored to be a high-end 2K LTPO display on the front and on the back, a triple 50MP camera system.
OnePlus announced its latest flagship tablet, the OnePlus Pad 3, last month alongside the OnePlus 13s. While the tablet has already gone on sale in some markets, the company has now officially confirmed that it will launch in India in September 2025.
Pricing Details Coming Soon
Although OnePlus has confirmed the India launch month, the company said that pricing details will be announced in the coming weeks, closer to the actual sale date.

OnePlus has officially launched the Nord CE5, the newest addition to its Core Edition (CE) series in India. Unveiled at the company’s latest event, the Nord CE5 brings major hardware upgrades, a large battery, improved cooling system, and extended software support—making it one of the most powerful CE-series smartphones yet.

The display supports peak brightness up to 1430 nits, 1300 nits HBM (High Brightness Mode), and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut for vivid visuals. This makes the phone ideal for both indoor and outdoor usage.
The device comes in three color variants: Black Infinity, Marble Mist, and Nexus Blue. It measures 163.58 x 76.02 x 8.17mm (8.27mm for Marble Mist variant) and weighs 199g.
Performance and Cooling
At its core, the Nord CE5 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Apex 4nm processor, with clock speeds up to 3.35GHz, coupled with the Arm Mali-G615 MC6 GPU. It comes in two RAM configurations — 8GB and 12GB LPDDR5X RAM, with storage options of 128GB and 256GB UFS 3.1. The phone also supports up to 12GB virtual RAM expansion, delivering a powerful multitasking experience.
To ensure sustained performance under load, OnePlus has integrated an advanced CryoVelocity VC Cooling system. This system includes a graphene-based composite vapor chamber with a total heat dissipation area of 7,041 mm², making it one of the most efficient in its class.
OnePlus claims that the phone can deliver 120 FPS gameplay in popular titles such as BGMI and Call of Duty: Mobile, making it a suitable option for mobile gamers.
Camera Setup

One of the standout features of the Nord CE5 is its massive 7100mAh battery — the largest ever in a OnePlus phone. It supports 80W SuperVOOC fast charging, which can fully charge the phone in just over an hour. The device also supports bypass charging, a feature that powers the phone directly without charging the battery, reducing heat during gaming.
Software and Updates
The Nord CE5 runs on Android 15 out of the box with OxygenOS 15. Notably, this is the first CE-series device to receive extended software support, with 4 years of Android OS updates and 6 years of security updates, bringing it in line with OnePlus’ premium models.
