Shenzhen, China, December 10, 2024 – OnePlus officially launched its latest OxygenOS 15 operating system for North 4 and North CE 4 smartphones in India, the company announced Monday. This update, based on Android 15, follows a month after the brand started the closed beta test program (CBT) for one of these devices. The new operating system promises greater visual customization, better multitasking capabilities and advanced artificial intelligence (AI) functions, establishing a new reference for user experience.
Global implementation and availability
The OxygenOS 15 update is initially distributed to Indian users in batches. According to OnePlus, the deployment will be extended to other regions, including North American (NA), European (EU) and Global (GLO) markets next week. This blocked approach ensures a gradual transition for users around the world and addresses possible problems during the initial deployment phase.
Improved visual customization with flow themes
One of the strengths of OxygenOS 15 is the introduction of flow themes, which offer a new level of customization. Users can now customize topics with their own photos or choose between system wallpapers. The boot screen has undergone a visual renewal with application function icons and a redesigned system. In addition, the lock screen and still on screen (ODA) now support the flow and traditional modes, offering more options for individual expression.
The update also introduces reversible photo editing capabilities worldwide. Users can save previous editions and visit them later, ensuring greater flexibility to adjust their images. In addition, the duration of Live Photos has been extended to three seconds, improving its visual appeal. Improvements in the camera application include better integration with filters, allowing users to edit or delete them even after the photo is captured.
Improved multitasking functions
OxygenOS 15 takes multi-tasking at the next level with new floating window gestures. Walking in a floating window opens the status window, while a side turn hides it. This simplified approach allows a smoother transition between tasks. The update also separates the quick adjustment access measures and the assessment group, which improves overall navigation efficiency.
Users will appreciate the enhanced functionality of the OnePlus Share app, which facilitates file transfer, including Live Photos, between OnePlus devices and iOS. This multiplatform compatibility is an important addition, which serves users who rely on multiple ecosystems for their digital needs.
On-line alerts and notifications
The live alerts received a remarkable improvement in oxygen 15. Notifications now appear in a targeted format, with detailed maps accessible via warning capsules. This redesign allows users to interact quickly and efficiently with critical notifications, thereby reducing the likelihood of loss of information. The new approach to notifications highlights OnePlus’s approach to creating a more user-centred design.
Improvements by AI
The inclusion of artificial intelligence features further increases the OxygenOS 15. Although the initial announcement did not produce specific AI-based features, the system’s overall improvements suggest that OnePlus aims to provide smarter and more intuitive interactions. From improving camera capabilities to sophisticated and multitasking alerts, AI’s integration demonstrates the company’s commitment to stay ahead in a competitive market.
According to OnePlus, this update reaffirms the company’s commitment to bringing state-of-the-art technology to its mid-range North alignment. By offering features traditionally reserved for flagship devices, OnePlus continues to broadcast lines between high-end and medium-level smartphones.
With its mix of aesthetics, functionality and innovation, OxygenOS 15 presents a more coherent and personalized mobile experience. Next week will likely expand its reach, marking a new step for OnePlus, which strengthens its position in the smartphone market.
