OxygenOS 15 Release Details: Beta Version Coming to OnePlus 12 on October 30
OnePlus has officially announced the upcoming release of OxygenOS 15 based on Android 15. Starting October 30, the beta version will be available for OnePlus 12 users. The update promises significant enhancements, focusing on AI-driven features to improve user experience.
OxygenOS 15: New Features & Improvements
With OxygenOS 15, OnePlus introduces an updated approach to animations through a feature known as “Parallel Processing.” This enhancement is designed to smooth transitions between apps, even during rapid switching, ensuring a seamless user interface.
The update brings a notable reduction in system size—up to 20% smaller than its predecessor, OxygenOS 14. This has been achieved by eliminating outdated functions, allowing for better storage management.
New AI-driven capabilities have been added to the camera and gallery applications. AI Detail Boost can identify and enhance pixelated or blurry images with a single tap, and AI Unblur sharpens images, akin to Google’s Photo Unblur. AI Reflection Eraser, another innovative feature, effectively removes reflections from photos without distortion.
OxygenOS 15 enhances device searchability with Intelligent Search, enabling users to pull specific file information from system apps using simple queries. Circle to Search, powered by Google Lens, provides context-based search results from any screen area accessed via a long press.
For travel and event enthusiasts, Pass Scan allows for quick scanning of boarding passes and tickets, integrating them into Google Wallet for easy access. AI Notes offers automated organization and refinement of notes, summarizing key points and adjusting tone to ensure clarity.
The interface of OxygenOS 15 has been updated to enhance user interaction. Shelf Cards now feature a more vibrant color scheme and variable card sizes for customizable home screen layouts. Additional UI updates include new animations for actions like charging and app installations, designed to enrich the user experience.
Multitasking is made more efficient with the introduction of Open Canvas, which allows for full-sized app windows in split-screen mode. A new feature, Share with iPhone, simplifies file transfers between OnePlus devices and iPhones, using the O+ Connect app.
OxygenOS 15 Open Beta Rollout Plan
The OxygenOS 15 Open Beta will expand to other devices in stages, starting with OnePlus 12, 12R, and special editions in October, and extending to older models like OnePlus 10 Pro 5G by February.

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.
I tested Nothing’s Essential Space on the Nothing Phone (3) and OnePlus Mind Space on the OnePlus 11. Both look similar on the surface, but the way they work feels very different. Let’s break it down.
Nothing Essential Space has a dedicated Essential Key button. Just double press, and the app opens instantly. From there, you can create summaries, reminders, or even voice notes. Everything is simple and fast.
OnePlus Mind Space works with a three-finger swipe gesture. It opens smoothly and also creates summaries and reminders, but you need to do more manual steps compared to Nothing.
The big win for Essential Space is that it syncs directly with Google Calendar. Add a reminder once, and it’s already there. You can even record voice notes or use the camera app to analyze photos and auto-generate descriptions.
Mind Space, on the other hand, shines with app-wise sorting. For example, it can organize summaries by WhatsApp, Chrome, or Twitter, which is quite useful. But adding reminders is manual, and sharing options are limited.
Nothing also adds cool exclusive features like Flip-to-Record, where you just flip the phone, hold the key, and it records with Glyph animations. Later, the AI auto-summarizes your entire meeting or talk into English text. Super handy!
Sharing is also easier on Nothing. You can export your notes as an image, PDF, or Markdown and send them anywhere. On OnePlus, you only get the delete option, which feels basic.
Overall, Nothing Essential Space feels more polished and feature-rich, while OnePlus Mind Space is still catching up. The app-wise sorting on OnePlus is neat, but Nothing’s extra features make it the better option for now.
Also did a video for this. You can give it a watch on YouTube:
