OxygenOS 15 Update for OnePlus 12: What's New

According to OnePlus, the OxygenOS 15 update for the OnePlus 12 introduces visual changes across the UI. The home screen has been refreshed with a new design and iconography for system functions. All the elements have a continuous curvature which is claimed to provide a feel of visual uniformity. There are new flux themes which can be customised with system wallpapers or customised with photos.

Always-on display and lock and home screens also benefit from more customisation options. Users can tweak the lock screen as per their preference with features such as clock colour blending, glass textures, blurred wallpapers, AI depth effects, and AI auto-fills. Glass patterns, blurred wallpapers, and more elements have been made available for the home screen.

OnePlus says OxygenOS 15 improves the rendering and animation performance courtesy of the system graphics engine. It is driven by advanced parallel processing for delivering visuals when running resource-intensive applications or multitasking. Other animation-related changes include the expansion of system-wide swipe consistency to third-party apps and the extension of parallel processing to widgets, components, and folders.

OnePlus 12 users can take advantage of the globally reversible photo editing capability which saves previous edit settings for subsequent edits. The Fluid Cloud has been updated for more compatibility with apps like Spotify, Swiggy, and Zomato and can now sync the information in real-time. Alerts received from apps can turn into detailed cards. Users can swipe in the status bar to get access to multiple live activities.

More gestures have been added to the floating window. It now allows a swiping down action on the notification bar for opening a status window, swiping down again to enlarge it or swiping sideways to hide it. Users can also drag the divider on the split windows to resize them or tap on them to expand their display area. OnePlus has also added an iOS-like functionality which separates the actions for accessing the quick settings and the notification panel.

Other features include a charging limit feature to prevent overcharging of the device, a new battery protection reminder, enhanced Holo Audio for online calls, categorised views in Private Space, a home screen shortcut for hidden apps, and an optimised multi-network experience.
