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 has officially launched its latest flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 15 in India. The phone comes with major upgrades in software, performance, camera, design, and battery.
OxygenOS 16 With New AI Features
The OnePlus 15 runs on OxygenOS 16, based on Android 16. The new software introduces several AI-powered tools for smoother interaction and better personalization.

OnePlus 11 OxygenOS 15 August Update Rolls Out with Split View Enhancements, BeaconLink, and Privacy Improvements
OnePlus has rolled out a new OxygenOS 15 update for the OnePlus 11, bringing a range of improvements, useful features, and the latest August 2025 Android security patch. The update size is 890.86 MB and focuses on making the phone smoother, smarter, and more secure.
The update enhances the overall user experience with smoother animations for opening, repositioning, and resizing floating windows. Multitasking also gets better with improvements to Split View. It is no longer limited to fixed ratios, and users can now adjust the ratio freely. When using two apps in landscape, the divider can be dragged to resize them according to preference.
In terms of notifications, OnePlus has simplified how alerts appear in landscape mode. Instead of taking over the full screen, banner notifications now appear in a minimal format to reduce interruptions. Users can also swipe down on a notification to open the app in a floating window, or tap a button to do the same, rather than switching to full screen.
The Private Safe feature has been upgraded as well. Users can now share images and videos stored in Private Safe, customize album covers, and sort or view media files by time. There is also a new option to add files directly under the “Other files” category, giving more control over stored content. When recent tasks are stacked, users can now lock or unlock apps simply by swiping down on the app from the recent tasks screen.
A notable addition is BeaconLink, which allows users to send text, images, and voice messages to nearby people without an internet connection. This can be enabled in Settings > Mobile network > BeaconLink.
Lastly, the update integrates the August 2025 Android security patch, ensuring better protection for the device.
With this update, the OnePlus 11 becomes more seamless to use, offering improved multitasking, enhanced privacy options, and a more distraction-free experience.
