OxygenOS 15 Ready To Come With New Features And Fresh Design
JAKARTA - OnePlus will soon release the latest version of their custom interface, OxygenOS 15, which will be based on Android 15. This update is expected to begin testing in the beta program this month or early next month, while the stable version is scheduled for release around November. Although there has been no official announcement yet, a number of leaks have revealed some new changes and features that will be coming to OxygenOS 15.
One of the biggest changes expected is the redesign of the control center. OxygenOS 15 is expected to adopt an iOS and HyperOS-inspired display, with two large buttons at the top followed by media players, brightness controllers, and a neater-ordered volume panel. These control centers are also designed to be more personal, allow users to reset icons, hide some features, and adjust the layout according to their preferences.
Additionally, OxygenOS 15 will introduce a new feature that separates the control center area and notifications. The sliding motion from the right of the screen will open the control center, while sliding from the left will display all notifications. This is expected to increase the ease of access and separate key functions more efficiently.
For loyal OnePlus fans, there is an interesting surprise in the form of the return of the iconic "Never Settle" egg ether that can be found in the calculator application. By typing "1+" and pressing the same sign, users will see this Egg emitter appear, giving a nostalgic touch to old users.
Some of the features inspired by iOS are also likely to be present on OxygenOS 15. One of them is the Dynamic Island feature, which is placed in the center of the screen at the top, as well as the return of the Live Photos option on the camera app. This feature allows users to record short videos while taking photos, creating a more dynamic experience in capturing moments.
OxygenOS 15 is also predicted to offer a wider key screen customization option. Users can change the size, position, color, and font clock on the lock screen as desired. Various presets will also be provided to make it easier for users to choose a view that suits their style.
Another innovation is the "video battery saver" feature developed to optimize battery usage when certain video apps drain power. While it will extend battery life, the viewing experience may change slightly to support this power saving.

Satellite connectivity support will also be one of the important features that comes with OxygenOS 15, allowing users to send text messages even without a mobile network, as long as the device is under the open sky. This feature will support SMS, MMS, and RCS applications to take advantage of satellite connectivity, providing users with more flexibility in emergency situations.
In addition, this operating system will be equipped with a new security feature, namely the theft detection key. This feature uses artificial intelligence (AI) to detect if the user's phone has been taken by force, and automatically locks the device to protect data. Even if the phone is reset, the device will not be able to activate without entering the Google account previously used.
To increase productivity, OxygenOS 15 will introduce a feature that allows users to create shortcuts for separate screen app pairs, which are very useful on devices with large screens. App filing features will also make it easier for users to delete unnecessary applications without data loss, allowing them to resume use after reinstalling the app.
With these new advanced features and innovations, OxygenOS 15 will certainly provide a fresher and more functional experience for OnePlus device users, as well as take advantage of the most up-to-date Android 15 capabilities.
