OnePlus has released the OxygenOS 15.0.0.500 update for the OnePlus 12R, introducing the BeaconLink app and additional features. This update, currently exclusive to India, is expected to expand to other regions soon.
BeaconLink App Highlights
BeaconLink, initially launched for the OnePlus 12 in January 2025, enables short-distance calls via Bluetooth. Designed for areas with poor signal or no internet, it eliminates the need for a SIM card, base station, or Wi-Fi. The app automatically searches for nearby devices and allows free calls within a 10 to 200-meter range.
Other Key Additions
