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 This has been achieved by eliminating outdated functions, allowing for better storage management.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 has officially launched the Nord CE5, the newest addition to its Core Edition (CE) series in India.

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.

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
