OnePlus confirms the launch date of the Android 15 update

• OnePlus will launch OxygenOS 15 based on Android 15 next week, on October 24, 2024.

• OxygenOS 15 introduces AI-powered features.

• OnePlus has not announced which devices will support the update.

It’s only been a few days since Google started rolling out the Android 15 update to its devices, and now other brands are starting to follow suit. While companies like Samsung have confirmed that their Android 15-based One UI 7 update won’t arrive until next year, OnePlus is moving faster this time. The company just announced that the OxygenOS 15 update, based on Android 15, will arrive next week.

OnePlus has confirmed in a press release that it will officially launch OxygenOS 15 at an online event on October 24, 2024 at 3:30 PM IST (6:00 AM ET). The event will be streamed live on all of the company’s official platforms, including its YouTube channel. The company claims that OxygenOS will introduce 15 new AI-powered features and a more seamless design, promising to be the fastest and “most user-friendly OxygenOS” yet.

OxygenOS 15 will bring AI features to OnePlus phones

OnePlus has yet to specify the exact AI features that will be included in OxygenOS 15, but the company states that these will focus on “maximizing productivity and creativity.” While OnePlus has consistently made some of the best smartphones on the market, it has lagged in integrating AI features into its devices. Earlier this year, the company confirmed that some AI features would be coming to its devices, and it looks like OxygenOS 15 will finally deliver on that promise.

OnePlus has yet to confirm which devices will support OxygenOS 15 or when the rollout will begin. We’ll probably have to wait until the official event to get the full details, but we expect the most recent models, like the OnePlus 12, OnePlus 11 and OnePlus Open, to receive the update relatively quickly.

As for Android 15 itself, it doesn’t appear to be a major upgrade over Android 14. Many of the new features, such as improved multitasking for foldables and Private Space, are already available on OnePlus smartphones. However, it remains to be seen what unique features OnePlus will bring with OxygenOS 15. Besides OnePlus, Vivo has already started rolling out its Android 15 update and Asus recently launched a beta for one of its high-end models.
