Today, OnePlus has officially announced the launch date of OxygenOS 15. The company will launch its next-gen smartphone software, OxygenOS 15, on October 24, 2024. For those unaware, the OxygenOS 15 is based on Android 15 which we expect to see on the upcoming OnePlus 13.
OnePlus to launch OxygenOS 15 on October 24 with AI features and refreshed UI
Besides announcing the launch date, OnePlus hints that the OxygenOS 15 will pack AI features and refreshed UI making it the most under-friendly OS to date. In an official statement, OnePlus has also mentioned the inclusion of AI features in the OxygenOS 15.
The company adds that the latest AI features aim “at empowering users with advanced technology. These features are strategically designed across multiple common scenarios to maximize productivity and creativity, making life easier for each user. The new OxygenOS 15 will be a perfect combination of speed, performance, and intelligence.”
While the company says that the OxygenOS 15 will feature new animations to offer a smoother and more fluid interface, it hasn’t revealed any of the features yet. But, that doesn’t mean you have to wait to know about the features, all thanks to previous leaks.
Be ready to see some iOS and HyperOS-inspired features
The OxygenOS 15 will reportedly include a revamped Control Center that would look similar to that of iOS and HyperOS. That means in the new layout, the notification window will open when swiping down from the left of the screen. On the other hand, swiping down from the right would open the Control Center.
Another leak hints that the OxygenOS 15 could bring a new volume slider that might expand and shrink with taps. Moving on, the new OS could offer a new customization option on the lock screen. You might also be able to adjust the font, position, and color of the lock screen clock.
Besides, you might be able to add a depth effect that brings a 3D-like feel to the lock screen. The OxygenOS 15 might also bring a “Live Photos” option to the camera app and Dynamic Island-like features. Moreover, you can watch the OxygenOS 15 launch event on the company’s official online platforms, including its YouTube channel, starting at 3:30 PM (GMT) on October 24.
