OnePlus has released Android 15 to a select group of its devices, with the official announcement on October 24 confirming that users will get their first chance to update through an open beta program rather than a wider stable release.
According to Android Authority, OnePlus 12 and 12R will be the first phones to get the OxygenOS 15 beta on October 30. The OnePlus Open and OnePlus Pad 2 will get the update in November, followed by other models from December to February. For older devices, OnePlus 10 devices will be the only ones that will get the update.
And these are some of features shipped with OxygenOS 15 that focuses on accelerating user experience and implementing artificial intelligence:
1. AI Detail Boost, AI Unblur, AI Reflection Eraser:
AI Detail Boost sharpens and enhances distant or blurry objects, AI Unblur removes noise, and AI Reflection Eraser removes reflections on glass and other surfaces. Consider that AI-powered image processing is done in the cloud, so the image must leave your device to be processed.
2. Gemini:
The new AI productivity feature is powered by Google Gemini and includes AI Notes, with summarization and transcription capabilities, and AI writing tools. Circle to Search is also coming to OnePlus phones with this update. The AI Reply feature analyzes the content on the screen and writes responses while messaging.
3. Parallel processing of animations.
OxygenOS 15 also enables parallel processing of animations, which improves the smoothness of the user experience. In this case, parallel processing means you don’t have to finish one animation to start another, which should make the phone more faster.
4. Theft detection:
Additional features include “Theft detection”, which uses gyroscope data and routine monitoring to lock your phone if it believes it has been stolen.
