OnePlus is releasing OxygenOS 15 for its devices, bringing new features. These features are intended to ensure a seamless and quick experience in the device beyond the deployment, and they will continue to deliver high levels of performance.
Oneplus 13 is also around the corner, coming with Snapdragon Gen 8 elite chipset. The device is going to coming the new skin.
OxygenOS 15 Based On Android 15
OxygenOS 15 uses parallel processing to enhance the user experience. This also provides better coverage for the animations, and there have been some tweaks to the app’s exit and entry points. Removing superfluous functionality reduced the system’s size by around 20%.
These functions can also be found in newer devices, such as the OnePlus 13. New shelf cards have half-tone color schemes and larger card sizes (1×2, 2×2, 2×4, and 4×4). A Gaussian blur effect has also been introduced to the control and notification center, and color cuts can be applied based on the backdrop wallpaper.
Performance Boost with Smoother Animations
OnePlus sticks to its “Fast and Smooth” approach by adding Parallel Processing to its animations. This means everything, from widgets to app folders, moves fluidly, even during interruptions. The update also ensures consistent swipe gestures across third-party apps, making your interactions feel seamless throughout the system.
OxygenOS 15 – Fresh Design for Everyday Use
OxygenOS 15 brings a subtle design update. Icons on the home screen now have sharper colors and better proportions, making them easier to look at. The Shelf widget has been revamped, offering more card options and localized features for quicker access to information.
A key feature in this update is Split Mode, which separates notifications from quick settings. Swiping down from the top left shows notifications, while swiping from the top right brings up quick settings—making it easier to navigate both.
More Ways to Personalize Your Phone
Customization takes a step forward with OnePlus OneTake, allowing users to create a connected look across the Always-On Display, lock screen, and home screen. The Depth feature adds layers to wallpapers, creating a more dynamic feel by separating the subject from the background.
The lock screen also supports more customization, with options like glass textures, blurred wallpapers, and AI-driven auto-fill settings.

New Open Canvas
The open Canvas feature enables three-app split screen functionality for multitasking. Unlike traditional two-app split screens, which compromise on window size, open canvas lets you switch between two apps freely. The size of the entire window remains the same.
Fluid Cloud Feature
This new Fluid Cloud improves app compatibility and now also supports apps like Spotify, Swiggy, and Tomato. This feature can also give a hands-free experience in different scenarios. This design emphasizes efficient Visualization and provides a balanced and streamlined display performance.
