Android updates often bring about the excitement of new features, and this year’s Android 15 for OnePlus devices, also known as OxygenOS 15, is no exception. OnePlus has laser-focused on enhancing user experience, primarily through speed and fluidity enhancements. Noticeably improved animations make the system feel more responsive, right from the home screen.
The update also introduces several new functionalities, such as split notifications and Quick Settings—a modular experience allowing users more flexibility. A standout feature is “Live Alerts,” akin to Apple’s Dynamic Island, enhancing real-time notifications and interactions. Another significant addition is Open Canvas, which vastly improves split-screen multitasking capabilities, and “Circle to Search,” available on selected models, allowing users to engage in a more intuitive search experience.
Further enriching the software are new AI-driven features including AI Assistant in Notes for smarter note-taking, Intelligent Search to boost productivity, and AI Reflection Eraser to enhance photo editing prowess. Additionally, a new sharing tool has been incorporated, seamlessly connecting OnePlus and iPhone users, enabling wireless file, photo, and video sharing across platforms.
