Although OnePlus phones have many positive features, their OxygenOS software has consistently drawn customers and admirers. The most recent version, OxygenOS 15, is now available and brings with it a number of updates and additions. Its clean, quick, and snappy experience is unmatched. Check out our comprehensive list of all the new OxygenOS 15 features if you’ve been wondering what new features your OnePlus device will have.
Toggles with a Rounded Look for Fast Setting
Additionally, the update modifies the quick settings panel’s appearance by giving the toggles a rounded style. This modification provides a more streamlined appearance that complements the operating system’s overall visual aesthetic. I couldn’t help but note how much they resemble the control center toggles in iOS 18. Although I don’t mind this appearance, I think the striking similarity may annoy certain fans.
One Take and the Lock Screen Depth Effect
We will be able to experience depth effects on the lock screen with OxygenOS 15. comparable to Xiaomi’s Hyper OS and iOS 17. This feature gives the clock on the lock screen more depth, giving it a dynamic appearance. Not only that, but OnePlus is also introducing a few unique clock designs that will allow you to personalize your lock screen.
Additionally, OnePlus is launching OneTake, a brand-new function. As the name implies, this will demonstrate a smooth transition from always on display to your home screen in a one take. You may observe it in operation on this OnePlus X article.
Modifications to Widgets and Stock Icons
A new appearance was also given to some stock program icons, including as the calculator, recorder app, and clock. They now fit in rather well with the OS’s new design language and are simpler to identify. That’s not all, though. New widgets for these apps are included in the upgrade. They display more information at once and are bigger.
You can look at anything that’s important right from your home screen using them, which can help you keep more organized. For ardent aficionados, there are also some secret Easter eggs here.
New Cloud-Based Image AI Features
Furthermore, OxygenOS 15 offers several new AI features that can improve your images and give them a crisper, clearer appearance.
Unblur AI
A program called AI Unblur can efficiently eliminate blur from your images. AI Unblur can assist in restoring clarity and details to old photos that have faded over time or mistakenly taken a blurry picture. The Gallery application’s edit menu offers this option.
Eraser for AI Reflection
Unwanted reflections from glass or lens glare in your pictures are automatically detected and eliminated by Reflection Eraser. By removing distracting reflections, it enables you to highlight your subjects’ genuine beauty.
AI Detail Enhancement
This capability is comparable to that of Pixel smartphones, which use generative AI to enhance photographs with more details as you zoom in. By adding extra information to your photos, Detail Boost might help you avoid cropping them into a blurry jumble.
Features of Productivity AI (Cloud)
In addition to image AI capabilities, OnePlus has included a few productivity-focused AI apps that can help you maximize your everyday work.
AI Notes Assistant
The Notes app has a new AI-powered assistant that can assist with summarizing lengthy notes by cleverly dividing them into digestible bullet points. Additionally, it has the ability to modify the text’s formatting, edit the content, carry on writing for you, and expand on certain passages.
Only English, Hindi, Spanish, Italian, Simplified Chinese, and traditional Chinese are supported in the current edition.
AI Intelligent Responses
When you enable this feature, AI will provide intelligent responses for you based on the current context of the chat. Although it is compatible with the majority of social networking and messaging apps, it does pose some concerns over user privacy.
Intelligent Search (On-Device Plus Cloud)
Intelligent search is a more potent version of the universal search capability that we have previously seen. Depending on your query, it can locate any file or even text within that file, application, or email. You can ask questions regarding these specific topics, and Intelligent Search will find the answers.
Enhanced Flowing Animations
Parallel animations, which OxygenOS 15 is implementing, will provide more responsive and fluid animations across the board. It will improve the user experience by assisting in the removal of any lag or stutter that may occur when navigating between apps. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, these animations make the user interface (UI) more fun and intuitive.
Scan Pass (On Device)
For regular travelers, this is a minor yet important function. You may avoid carrying that piece of paper with you by using Pass Scan to scan and store your paper boarding passes online. You may utilize this feature directly from the camera app; you won’t need to go into the settings.
Expansion Support for Open Canvas
You might be familiar with Open Canvas if you’ve used the OnePlus Open or any other OnePlus tablet. Multiple apps on the screen can be managed, rearranged, and resized as necessary. The business is introducing this capability to its devices with OxygenOS 15. Compared to Android, this will offer a superior multitasking experience.
Easter Egg Calculator
In the past, OnePlus, which is renowned for serving its community, featured an Easter egg in which the company’s catchphrase, “Never Settle,” appeared on the calculator app if you typed “1 + 1” and hit “=.” Fortunately, this Easter egg has returned with the OxygenOS 15 upgrade after it vanished when the ColorOS code base was combined with OxygenOS.
Transfer to an iPhone
OnePlus may also help close the gap between Android and iPhone with a new “Share with iPhone” feature. It is necessary to activate this feature in the OnePlus device’s settings app. To begin sharing files between the two devices, you must first enable O+Connect on your iPhone and then download the app.
Decreased Storage on the System
Because OxygenOS 15 optimizes storage utilization, the system will also occupy less space. This leads to a notable 20% reduction in space compared to the OxygenOS in the OnePlus 12 series. Your files, programs, games, and pictures will all have extra room as a result.
Only the OnePlus 13 series and later will be able to use this, though. This won’t work for OnePlus smartphones that are currently on the market.
New Setup Screen and Boot Animation
OxygenOS 15 is giving the setup procedure a new, contemporary appearance. When you first boot up, a fresh boot animation will appear. To make things cleaner and easier to use, the setup screen has also been revamped. For years, OnePlus has continued to use its existing boot animation. For the OS and software enthusiasts, this will be a welcome shift.
Smooth Cloud Integration with Additional Applications
OnePlus’ attempt at iOS dynamic island and live activities is called Fluid Cloud. You can long press on the pill-shaped notification to view the current state of any activity, such as a timer or a Spotify song. The business is expanding the Fluid Cloud’s app compatibility with OxygenOS 15. Apps like FOOD PANDA will now allow you to track your meal order.
Additional Features of Android 15
Since OxygenOS 15 is based on Android 15, it has all of the newest features that the updated Android version offers. This covers Theft Protection, Circle to Search, and Gemini Live help.
