OnePlus is gearing up to unveil the OxygenOS 15 soon. The upcoming custom skin is the brand’s take on the new Android 15 operating system. While OnePlus hasn’t revealed all of the new features on OxygenOS 15, the ColorOS 15 announcement does hint at what we can expect. So read on to find out.
1. OxygenOS 15: Big on AI
Since Oppo and OnePlus are sister companies, there are plenty of similarities in not just it products but also their software. So ColorsOS and Oxygen share quite a bit of features. OnePlus’ motto with OyxgenOS 15 is ‘Speed meets AI’. With artificial intelligence becoming an everyday part of consumer electronics, the latest Android 15 skin would likely have AI integrated into its features and functions.
Recent rumors have hinted at the OxygenOS 15 offering integration of Google’s Gemini AI. This would allow it to bring access to popular photo editing tools like Magic Eraser. The new update likely includes virtual avatars, which also help in tasks like language learning, story telling, and more. AI Image Enhancement would be one of the more useful features that can help remove unwanted blurs or reflections with just a tap.
AI could also play a hand in productivity as well. OnePlus may feature AI integration in its document management tools. To save on time, there might be AI powered voice summaries, just like the ColorOS 15.
2. Revamped Design: Sprinkled with iOS Inspiration
OnePlus is apparently planning on revamping the entire control center of the OxygenOS 15. The custom skin could draw inspiration from Apple’s iOS and Xiaomi’s HyperOS. Swiping down from the screen’s left corner may open the notification window while swiping down from the right side would bring up the Control Center. One of the bigger visual changes may include a revamped layout that would bring a media player in a 2×2 grid, a 1×2 brightness slider, and a volume control in a 1×2 grid.
Not only that, but other elements of the UI may also get an overhaul. Just like the ColorOS 15, the latest OxygenOS build may also feature a “simpler and natural” design. The refresh in the look could make navigation easier and improve function rather than bring a bold change.
Personalization is a big aspect of Android and OxygenOS would continue OnePlus’ legacy of offering great customization. We can expect dynamic themes that may apply across the system, ranging from lock screen to wallpaper. A leaked screenshot has also revealed a Dynamic Island like feature on the screen.
3. Enhanced Performance & Gaming
OnePlus has always been big on mobile gaming and the OxygenOS 15 would likely continue the focus on this aspect to enhance performance. ColorOS was announced with the new Lightning Engine, which increased the system responsiveness by 18 percent and operational stability by 40 percent. In other words, OxygenOS could like have improved optimization that takes advantage of the new and improved hardware to bring faster load times and smoother multitasking.
