Oppo has revealed ColorOS 15, which is built on Android 15. This new software will soon be available for compatible Oppo and OnePlus devices in China. For users of OnePlus phones outside of China, the company has finished developing OxygenOS 15, which is also based on Android 15.
OxygenOS 15 Launch Date Confirmed
Recently, the OnePlus Community announced that OxygenOS 15 will be launched on October 24, shortly after the introduction of the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip (also known as 8 Gen 4).
Visual Upgrades and AI Features
The tagline ‘Speed meets AI’ for the new Android 15 skin makes its purpose clear. This is not surprising, as ColorOS 15, which was just announced, also includes various visual and performance improvements along with new AI capabilities. However, OnePlus has not yet shared specifics about new features for OxygenOS.
Sources indicate that OxygenOS 15 will incorporate Gemini integration and feature an AI-driven photo editing tool akin to Google’s Magic Eraser.
Changes to Control Center
OxygenOS 15 is said to come with a redesigned control center, which seems to take inspiration from both iOS and HyperOS. Swiping down from the left corner of the screen may reveal the notification panel, while swiping down from the right could open the Control Centre.
This is anticipated to be one of the most significant visual updates in OnePlus's latest custom interface. The new design is rumored to include a media player in a 2×2 grid format, a brightness slider in a 1×2 format, and volume controls arranged in a 1×2 grid.
Upcoming OnePlus 13 Expectations
The OnePlus 13 flagship is likely to be launched shortly after the new chip is revealed, possibly in October. Xiaomi and iQOO are also expected to unveil their latest flagship devices around the same period.
A previous leak suggested that the OnePlus 13 might feature a custom version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip that aims to enhance energy efficiency. The device is also rumored to be equipped with a large 6,000mAh battery, which should support 100W fast charging.
On the display front, it’s believed that the phone could sport a 2K LTPO display along with a triple 50MP camera arrangement on the rear.
