The post OnePlus 10 Pro new OxygenOS 14 update released with Bug Fixes & improved gaming performance appeared first on Gizmochina.

OxygenOS is one of the best and cleanest Android skins, bundled with lots of features and customizations. With every iteration, it keeps getting better, while offering more features and improving the existing ones. OxygenOS 14 is no different. It offers a whole new set of features to redefine your smartphone experience.

If you have upgraded your OnePlus device to OxygenOS 14, here are the biggest changes you can’t miss to explore. Also, don’t forget to check out the list of eligible devices for the OxygenOS 15 update.

Top 10 OxygenOS 14 Features

1. Reduce Your Carbon Emissions With Go Green AOD

OxygenOS 14 introduces a new always-on-display (AOD) style. OnePlus calls it “Go Green AOD”, which shows the impact of carbon emissions on our planet.

The Go Green AOD has 5 designs that automatically change based on the number of steps you walk. The design changes at every 25% you walk. 100% means you’ve completed 8,000 steps.

As you make progress on the number of steps, the AOD style changes dynamically to show a greener world. It encourages users to walk more to reduce carbon emissions.

You have the option to choose between a forest or an island lagoon. The style changes dynamically in both cases as you walk more steps.

I really liked this new Go Green AOD in OxygenOS 14 to help reduce carbon emissions. If you have an OxygenOS 14-based OnePlus phone, head over to Settings > Wallpapers & style > Always-On Display, enable the Always-On Display toggle, and choose the carbon footprint AOD theme.

2. Trinity Engine

OxygenOS 14-running OnePlus devices feel smoother and snappier, thanks to Trinity Engine. OnePlus calls it their most advanced performance optimization solution.

Trinity Engine itself isn’t doesn’t do the job. It’s rather a name given to a collection of six proprietary technologies that include CPU Vitalization, RAM Vitalization, ROM Vitalization, HyperBoost, HyperTouch, and HyperRendering.

CPU Vitalization technology keeps the power efficiency in check while offering good performance. According to OnePlus, it ensures silky-smooth fluency even during high loads, with enhanced battery longevity.

ROM Vitalization efficiently compresses and defragment files to save storage space. OxygenOS 14 also includes cutting-edge I/O Vitalization technology to improve the file read-write efficiency, which translates to better performance.

The new RAM Vitalization technology smartly allocates memory resources and manages background apps for faster app launches and smoother app switching.

The HyperTouch, HyperBoost, and HyperRendering work together to deliver a superior gaming experience with improved touch responsiveness, reduced latency, and stable frame rates.

Trinity Engine is enabled by default on all OnePlus devices running OxygenOS 14. So, you don’t have to manually activate it.

If you’re upgrading from OxygenOS 13, you may not see results immediately. There are a lot of optimizations that happen in the background after installing a major update, which can take a few days.

3. File Dock

OxygenOS 14 makes it super easy to access your favorite content, including texts, images, videos, and links. File Dock in OxygenOS 14 lets you save content temporarily, which you can drop in other apps.

It’s like a clipboard manager, but with a backup feature. The files in File Dock are stored for up to 30 days, which can be accessed from other OnePlus devices as well.

One of the many uses of File Dock is to share the same file(s) to many apps. Or, when you want to upload the same status across multiple social media apps.

4. Fluid Cloud

OxygenOS 14 introduces Fluid Cloud to see and interact with notifications in a different way. The notifications are present within bubbles, capsules, and panels in a naturally merging and flowing way at the top of your screen.

Although the Fluid Cloud is similar to Dynamic Island in Apple iPhones, they aren’t the same. The OnePlus’s implementation shows the notifications in various styles but has limited uses.

While OnePlus hasn’t shared a list of supported apps, this feature has been tested to work with Screen Recorder and Clock. It also works with incoming calls.

There’s no specific setting to enable Fluid Cloud in OxygenOS 14 as it’s enabled by default, and, of course, you can interact with the notifications by long pressing on it.

5. Auto Pixelate 2.0

Another important addition to OxygenOS 14 is the Auto Pixelate feature, which as the name suggests, automatically pixelates any sensitive information, such as contact details and credit card numbers, in a photo or screenshot.

Simply, open an image in the Gallery, hit the Edit button, and tap Pixelate. The Gallery should automatically pixelate sensitive information, though you can tap on an area to pixelate it manually.

The Auto Pixelate feature in OxygenOS 14 smartly recognizes the image content and applies the pixelate/blur effect, but it misses out on a few occasions. Hence, double-check the images before sharing them, and manually pixelate required areas, if required.

6. Global Search

The Global Search feature in OxygenOS 14 lets you search through your phone, including documents, apps, contacts, and even the internet. This isn’t a new feature in OxygenOS 14, as the previous software version also had it. However, the latest OxygenOS version adds a search pillbox at the bottom of the home screen, just above the dock for quicker access.

The search icon fades away as you screen between the home screen or open the app drawer. This is a useful addition to OxygenOS 14, which has been there in iPhones for years as Spotlight.

7. App-Specific Refresh Rate

In previous OxygenOS versions, you had no control over the app’s refresh rate. Some apps were maxed out at 60Hz, even on high-end OnePlus devices. OxygenOS 14 is here to resolve the problem by letting you choose the refresh rate for apps.

You can dial up any app’s refresh rate to 120Hz for better smoothness from the refresh rate settings. I assume, you already know that a higher refresh rate leads to faster battery consumption.

8. Unified Security Dashboard

OnePlus continues to make adjustments to present a unified dashboard for all security and privacy settings. OxygenOS 14 has a security and privacy page where you can find all those settings, such as Google account settings, Private Safe, App Locker, and System Cloner.

9. Smart Cutout

Many Android smartphone brands, including Samsung and Xiaomi, have the smart cutout feature with different names, and finally, it is now available to OnePlus phones running OxygenOS 14. Simply long-press a subject on an image to extract a cutout.

10. App-Specific Language Control

OxygenOS 14 lets you change the language of a specific app without having to change the system language. This would allow users to use any app in whichever language they want.

OxygenOS 14: Top Features You Shouldn’t Miss

1. Trinity Engine

OnePlus calls it their most advanced performance optimization software. It consists of six proprietary technologies: CPU Vitalization, RAM Vitalization, ROM Vitalization, HyperBoost, HyperTouch, and HyperRendering.

Trinity Engine aims to deliver consistent performance for an extended period. You’ll experience notable improvements in power consumption and performance after upgrading to OxygenOS 14. It might not be instant as the device undergoes software optimizations, which can take a couple of days. 

2. File Dock

File Dock is an excellent addition to OxygenOS 14, at least for someone like me who keeps sharing texts and media files across many apps. Drag text or files to File Dock, open the app where you want to paste it and take the item out of FIle Dock.

The texts and files you save to File Dock are uploaded to the cloud. So, you can fetch them on your other OnePlus devices logged in with the same account. 

3. Smart Cutout

Many Android smartphone brands, including Samsung and Xiaomi, have the smart cutout feature with different names, and it is now available to OnePlus phones running OxygenOS 14.

To use Smart Cutout, simply long-press a subject on an image to extract a cutout. This feature has existed on iPhones for years and is finally coming to OnePlus phones.

4. Global Search

OxygenOS 14 brings a search pillbox at the bottom of the screen, just above the dock. The global search feature is also there in OxygenOS 13, but OnePlus seems to have found a good spot for the icon.

It lets you search through your phone, including documents, apps, contacts, and even the internet. The pillbox fades away as you scroll between home screens or open the app drawer.

5. Auto Pixelate 2.0

OxygenOS 14 promises robust security and privacy by introducing Device Security Engine 3.0, based on Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) and Auto Pixelate 2.0.

The Auto Pixelate 2.0 feature pixelates sensitive information such as contact details and credit card numbers when sharing screenshots.

To use the Auto Pixelate feature, open an image and hit the edit button. Then, tap Pixelate and click Auto to pixelate sensitive information. 

6. Carbon Footprint AOD

OxygenOS 14 introduces a unique AOD style that stands out – the Carbon Footprint AOD. It encourages you to walk and reduce your carbon footprint. There are five AOD styles that change based on the number of steps you take.

The earth on the AOD screen becomes greener as you walk more and more steps. I really liked this idea from OnePlus, and it won’t be wrong if other brands copy this or offer a similar feature.

7. Smart Suggestions

OxygenOS 14 introduced Smart Suggestions that surface important information on the lock screen, notification share, and status bar. For now, this feature works with select ride and food delivery services, such as Zomato, Uber, etc. 

8. Unified Security Dashboard

OnePlus continues to make adjustments to present a unified dashboard for all security and privacy settings. OxygenOS 14 has a security and privacy page where you can find all those settings, such as Google account settings, Private Safe, App Locker, and System Cloner.

A notable change to user privacy is the ability to give apps access to select apps and videos instead of full system access.

9. More Lockscreen Shortcuts

OxygenOS 14 adds two additional shortcuts to the lock screen: QR and flashlight. You can add them to your lock screen to scan QR codes or enable/disable the flashlight without having to unlock the phone.

10. App-Specific Language Control

Another useful addition to OxygenOS 14 is the ability to customize language for specific apps. So now, you can change the language of a specific app without having to change the system language. You can find it on the Addition Settings page.

There are also a few more updates like being able to make photo collages without borders right in the Photos app and a quick way to turn on the flashlight by holding down the Volume Down button when the screen is off.

If you like having control over how loud things are on your phone, there’s a new feature that lets you set the volume for each app. They’ve also made the volume bar easier to use and more consistent with the look of the phone.

The post OnePlus Nord 2T and OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G receiving OxygenOS 14.0.0.300 Firmware Update appeared first on Gizmochina.

The post OnePlus 11 OxygenOS 14 Open Beta 2 is live for Indian and NA users appeared first on Gizmochina.

After launching a few Android 14 beta builds for some of its devices, OnePlus has now officially debuted its OxygenOS 14 operating system, giving us a clear idea of what we can expect from the new OS.

Trinity Engine

With OxygenOS 14, OnePlus has introduced its very own optimization system called the Trinity Engine. This tool focuses on making your phone faster, smoother, and more efficient at using resources. It does three important things:

CPU Vitalization

CPU Vitalization helps your phone manage its power wisely. It figures out when your phone needs more power for tasks and when it can save power to make your battery last longer.

RAM Vitalization

RAM Vitalization was first introduced in OnePlus 11 with OxygenOS 13, and it got even better in OxygenOS 14. It makes sure your apps run smoothly and can stay open in the background for a long time, so you can switch between them quickly.

ROM Vitalization

ROM Vitalization prevents your phone from slowing down, even if you’ve had it for a long time. It uses smart tricks such as efficient compression algorithms, file defragmentation, and memory acceleration to keep things running fast.

Gaming Gets Better with OxygenOS 14

If you’re a gamer, you’ll love OxygenOS 14 because it significantly improves the mobile gaming experience through three key features:

HyperRendering

HyperRendering is an advanced graphics optimization algorithm developed in-house. Its primary goal is to make the graphics in mobile games look even better. This enhancement results in a more immersive gaming experience, with sharper and more detailed visuals.

HyperTouch

HyperTouch focuses on improving how you interact with your phone during gaming. It makes sure that your touch inputs on the screen are incredibly smooth, precise, and stable. This means you’ll have more control and accuracy in your games.

HyperBoost

HyperBoost is like a smart assistant for gaming. It helps your phone save power while still making sure your games run smoothly. So, you get a great gaming experience without your phone getting too hot or running out of battery too quickly.

Privacy and Security Emphasis

In OxygenOS 14, OnePlus has placed a strong emphasis on security, enhancing several of its privacy and security-oriented features.

Device Security Engine 3.0: This feature uses a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) to boost device security and prevent malicious attacks that try to break into the device.

Strong Box4: For better data security, Strong Box4, equipped with a Built-in eSE (embedded Secure Element) security chip, shields passwords and sensitive data from unauthorized access.

Auto Pixelate 2.0: When sharing screenshots, this feature automatically obscures sensitive information, ensuring privacy.

Aquamorphic Design 2.0

The Aquamorphic Design is also getting an update with new interactions, animations, music, and dynamic color changes, making the user experience more pleasant and engaging.

Fluid Cloud Notifications

A standout feature in Aquamorphic Design 2.0 is Fluid Cloud. It presents notifications in bubbles, capsules, and panels that flow naturally, minimizing disruption. You can personalize it to show real-time services conveniently, and it syncs notifications across your devices.

Dynamic Color System

The color system in OxygenOS 14 adjusts based on factors like the time of day and your smartphone’s status. For example, it changes when your phone is charging or when you’re working out. The lock screen background color changes throughout the day.

Revamped Sound Experience

OxygenOS 14 offers nine sets of Aquamorphic-themed ringtones and eleven new UI sound designs. These sound effects are clean and soothing.

Eco-Friendly Go Green AOD

The Go Green AOD theme reflects your daily step count, illustrating how more steps can reduce CO2 emissions. It encourages eco-friendly choices and a healthier lifestyle.

New Smart Features

File Dock

With File Dock, you can gather, analyze, and share data with simple gestures. Plus, you can move content between different devices, like your phone or tablet, by dragging and dropping it.

Notes 2.0

OxygenOS 14 gives your Notes feature a makeover. It’s now simpler to edit and organize your notes. You can change the way your notes look by adding colors, underlines, and other formatting touches. You can also make templates with different text styles and sizes.

Smart Cutout

Similar to Google’s Magic Eraser, OnePlus has introduced the Smart Cutout feature that can identify and crop out up to three subjects in a single photo or video. To do this, all you need to do is a long press on the subject. The feature can accurately pick out the subject, even if the background is complicated, has similar colors to the subject, or if there are lots of people in the picture.

The flagship OnePlus 11 will be the first smartphone to receive a stable version of OxygenOS 14. Users can expect the update to pop up sometime around mid-November. If you are eager to test out the new OS before the stable releases, you can participate in the beta testing phase. Here’s when OnePlus plans to launch the open beta builds for all of its eligible devices.
