· TechRadarNews By Jamie Richards published 18 October 2024
OnePlus has announced that it will release an Android 15-powered update to its OxygenOS operating system on October 24 via an online event on official OnePlus channels.
The company says OxygenOS 15 will bring “meaningful AI features” and a “distinctive design style”, with a focus on user-friendliness and speedy performance.
Though we don’t have specific details of the mentioned AI features yet, OnePlus says these have been “strategically designed across multiple common scenarios”.
It’s not yet clear whether these AI tools will be proprietary or based on those built into the Android 15 operating system.
OnePlus says the underlying animations of the Android operating system have been reconstructed for OxygenOS 15, with the aim of providing a smoother experience.
OxygenOS 15 will be the first version of OnePlus’ proprietary wrapper to make use of Android 15, the source code for which was released on September 4.
However, it’s only recently that phone makers have begun to implement the latest version of the world’s most popular operating system, with Android developer Google rolling out Android 15 to its Pixel phones on October 15.
On October 17, we reported that Motorola had begun issuing an Android 15 update to select devices in beta, with Xiaomi and Honor going the same route in global markets.
