OnePlus introduces OxygenOS 15 with iOS-inspired features like a revamped Control Center, Dynamic Island notifications, Live Photos, and more.
Revamped Control Center and Separated Notifications
One of the most noticeable changes in OxygenOS 15 is the redesigned Control Center, which now separates notifications from the control panel, much like iOS 18. Users can swipe from the right to access the control center and from the left for notifications. This streamlines the user interface, making it easier to manage both quickly.
Dynamic Island: A Smarter Way to Manage Notifications
Taking a page from Apple’s Dynamic Island, OnePlus introduces its own Dynamic Island in OxygenOS 15. This feature integrates seamlessly with the notch on the screen, providing a less intrusive and more engaging way to manage notifications. The Dynamic Island ensures that important notifications are easily accessible without interrupting your workflow.
Introducing Live Photos for OnePlus Users
Another exciting addition in OxygenOS 15 is the Live Photos feature, which allows users to capture moments with slight motion—similar to Apple’s Live Photos. This adds a new dynamic to photo-taking, making memories more lively and engaging. For photography enthusiasts, this is a welcome feature that brings the OnePlus camera experience closer to iPhone-level functionality.
Battery Saver and Satellite Connectivity
OxygenOS 15 introduces a powerful Video Battery Saver mode that optimizes power consumption while watching videos, extending battery life without sacrificing quality. Coupled with Android 15’s satellite connectivity support, users can now stay connected even in remote areas with no cell coverage—an invaluable addition for adventurers and those on the go.
AI-Powered Features and Theft Detection
OnePlus leverages AI to bring smarter features to OxygenOS 15, including theft detection. This feature uses AI to lock your device if it's snatched from your hand, helping prevent unauthorized access and data theft. It’s another layer of security designed to protect both the user and their personal data.
How to Get OxygenOS 15
The beta release of OxygenOS 15 is expected soon, giving eager users a chance to test the new features. Interested users can sign up for the beta program on the OnePlus website. If you’re wondering how to install OxygenOS 15 beta, follow the instructions provided in OnePlus' software update section. This beta period will allow users to provide feedback and help OnePlus refine the final product.
Conclusion
OxygenOS 15 represents a major step forward for OnePlus, blending its unique design philosophy with iOS-inspired features to offer users a refined, enjoyable experience. From the redesigned Control Center to the innovative Dynamic Island and new Live Photos, OnePlus is proving once again that it's listening to its users.
