OnePlus has already launched the OxygenOS 16 with the Chinese premiere of its new flagship, the OnePlus 15. That device will have its global premiere on November 13, but the new software has started appearing for some of the company’s older models. The OnePlus 13, last year’s flagship, got the Android 16-powered update in India on November 1, and there are reports it has also reached global devices.OxygenOS 16 is focused on performance improvements and various AI-powered features. Gemini can now interact with the personal data hub Mind Space and provide personalized results based on the notes, screenshots, and other content saved there. The software introduces a major redesign, including a new Flux Theme 2.0 with MotionPhotos and even video wallpapers.
Android 16 was launched in June and was first available for Pixel 9 series devices. The first phones to launch with it pre-installed were the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. Samsung has been rolling out the Android 16-powered One UI 8 update for about two months, with other brands just starting to receive the latest version of the OS.
Well done, OnePlus
OnePlus is not the fastest to launch a new software update, but I’m glad it’s keeping things on schedule. I’d much rather have an update a bit later than being fed empty promises.
