Now available to OnePlus 12 users across India, North America, Europe, and global markets, OxygenOS 15 signals OnePlus’s commitment to innovation and user-centered design.

A Breathtaking Revamp of the User Interface

The first thing users will notice with OxygenOS 15 is the visual overhaul of the UI. OnePlus has introduced a new home screen design and updated iconography, focusing on continuous curvature for a sleek, unified look. Customization is at the heart of this redesign. The UI now boasts flux themes that can be matched with system wallpapers or personalized with users’ own photos, delivering a level of visual appeal that’s both dynamic and deeply personal.

The always-on display, as well as the lock and home screens, have also received a considerable upgrade. Users can now personalize these screens with clock color blending, glass textures, blurred wallpapers, and AI-enhanced depth effects. Every interaction feels more tailored, and the aesthetic shifts have elevated OxygenOS 15 beyond mere functionality—it’s a seamless, beautiful experience.

Enhanced Visual Performance and Fluidity

With a boosted system graphics engine, OxygenOS 15 promises better rendering and animation, delivering fluid visuals even under heavy workloads. Whether navigating through third-party apps or swiping between widgets, the updated swipe consistency and parallel processing make every motion feel fast and natural. This enhancement means OnePlus 12 users can expect near-instant response times and smooth transitions, even when juggling demanding tasks or multitasking on split screens.

Game-Changing Photo Editing and Fluid Cloud Integration

For photo enthusiasts, OxygenOS 15 brings globally reversible photo editing, allowing users to save previous edit settings for use in future edits. This is a massive advantage for users who want to maintain consistency across their photos. The Fluid Cloud feature also expands its compatibility with popular apps like Spotify, Swiggy, and Zomato. Notifications from these apps now appear as detailed, interactive cards, and users can simply swipe on the status bar to access live updates and multiple activities—making it easier to stay connected to their digital world.

Intuitive Gestures and an Enhanced Floating Window Experience

OnePlus has added even more gesture options to its floating window system, providing a new level of interaction. A swipe down on the notification bar brings up the status window, another swipe expands it, and a side swipe hides it. The split window functionality also sees improvement—users can resize or expand split windows with ease, offering a simple, streamlined multitasking experience. The addition of a new Quick Settings and Notification panel setup, similar to iOS, brings both functionality and familiarity to users navigating the new OS.

Battery and Audio Innovations for a Smarter Experience

OxygenOS 15 also addresses battery management with a charging limit feature designed to prevent overcharging, extending battery health over time. A new battery protection reminder and improved Holo Audio for clearer online calls demonstrate OnePlus’s attention to the finer details of user comfort and device longevity.

Private Space and Multi-Networking Features for Enhanced Security and Connectivity

Private Space now offers categorised views, making it simpler to organize sensitive files, while a home screen shortcut for hidden apps adds an extra layer of privacy. The multi-network experience optimization improves connectivity, allowing seamless transitions between networks without interruption.

With OxygenOS 15, OnePlus has delivered a feature-packed OS that combines advanced functionality with stunning visuals and intuitive usability. For OnePlus 12 users, this update promises a level of customization and performance that redefines the smartphone experience, proving once again why OnePlus continues to set the bar in mobile technology.
