Although OxygenOS 15 brings plenty of improvements, OnePlus has noted that new AI features are still being worked on. These are in testing now and will be gradually rolled out to users throughout November.
While the AI features aren’t in this first release, OxygenOS 15 still packs plenty of cool new features and upgrades. For example, updated icons and rounded corners bring sharper, cleaner visuals to the Home screen and system.
Furthermore, there are new, customizable themes with fluid animations across your Home screen, Lock screen, and Always-On Display. Plus, new gestures make multitasking easier with resizable windows and intuitive controls.
Charging limit also keeps your battery at 80% to help it last longer, with reminders for protection. Holo Audio improves sound quality for online calls and meetings.
The centralized safety hub and organized Private Safe provides easier access to personal data and apps. Overall, OxygenOS 15 is all about smooth visuals, better multitasking, and personalizing your device. You can view the full changelog on OnePlus' website.
