Earlier today, Oppo unveiled ColorOS 15 (based on Android 15) with a detailed roadmap for updating old devices – including OnePlus phones in China. OnePlus is still branding its software OxygenOS for its global devices and version 15 of that will be officially unveiled a week from now.
OxygenOS 15 is coming on October 24 (next Thursday) and will be launched under the motto “Speed meets AI”. No surprises here, ColorOS 15 also heavily focuses on AI.
OnePlus is mum on details for now, but the company has been working on AI features for months now – from the AI Eraser tool in April, to Gemini and more recently Gemini Live (a conversational version of Google’s AI). You can read more about Gemini Live here.
Naturally, we expect future phones from the company to launch with the new OS out of the box – the OnePlus 13 is expected later this month, at least in China (the global launch might be in early 2025). It will use the latest Snapdragon chip as it was featured in a teaser video from Qualcomm – the chip itself should be unveiled a few days before the first batch of phones.
