Unveiling the Anticipated Android 15 Upgrade: OnePlus Reveals Launch Date
OnePlus to Reveal Android 15-Powered OxygenOS 15 on October 24
In a move that’s been eagerly anticipated by enthusiasts and users alike, OnePlus has announced that it will be releasing an Android 15-powered update to its OxygenOS on October 24. The update, which will be unveiled during an online event on official OnePlus channels, promises to bring "meaningful AI features" and a "distinctive design style" to the table, with a focus on user-friendliness and speedy performance.
Although we haven’t received any specific details on the AI features just yet, OnePlus has revealed that they’ve been strategically designed across multiple common scenarios. It remains unclear whether these AI tools will be proprietary or based on those built into the Android 15 operating system.
OnePlus has also announced that the underlying animations of the Android operating system have been reconstructed for OxygenOS 15, aiming to provide a smoother experience. This update will be the first to utilize Android 15, the source code for which was released on September 4.
The timing of this update is noteworthy, especially considering that phone manufacturers have only recently begun to implement the latest version of the world’s most popular operating system. Google, for instance, is rolling out Android 15 to its Pixel phones on October 15, while Motorola has already started issuing an Android 15 update to select devices in beta.
Which OnePlus Phones Are Likely to Get Android 15?
We can’t be certain which OnePlus phones will receive the OxygenOS 15 update just yet, but we’re expecting all of the best OnePlus phones to make the cut. The premium OnePlus 12 and OnePlus Open, as well as the mid-range OnePlus Nord 4, are likely to get this Android 15-powered update, as OnePlus has promised four years of updates for each handset.
The OnePlus 12R is also likely to receive OxygenOS 15, as it’s still in the first year of a promised three-year update period. For now, much of this remains speculative, so we’ll be keeping a close eye out for more official OnePlus announcements.
