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 This has been achieved by eliminating outdated functions, allowing for better storage management.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.
