OnePlus has officially rolled out the OnePlus 13R March 2025 Update bringing the highly anticipated OxygenOS 15.0, based on Android 15, to users. The update is marked with the build number CPH2691_15.0.0.701(EX01) and is now live for global users. This is a stable OTA release, and it introduces a host of exciting new features, design refinements, system improvements, and enhanced security.
With Android 15 at its core, this update not only integrates Google’s latest improvements but also adds OxygenOS-specific optimizations that make the user experience even smoother and more customizable.
Let’s take a deep dive into what the latest OnePlus 13R software update brings to the table.
Refined User Interface and Home Screen Enhancements
One of the biggest visual upgrades in the OnePlus 13R March 2025 Update is the improved Home screen customization. Users can now resize folders on the Home screen by dragging them to either 1×2 or 2×1 layouts. This allows for better organization of apps and a more personalized look.
Additionally, the dock has been upgraded. Even when the Home screen is configured to display 4 apps per row, the dock can now accommodate 5 apps, helping users keep their most-used apps within easy reach.
A new feature allows users to rename app groups by long-pressing on their shortcut on the Home screen. This small yet convenient addition is perfect for users who like to keep things organized.
The update also brings the ability to fine-tune the size and appearance of third-party widgets (especially 2×2 widgets) to ensure a more consistent and visually pleasing layout. This setting can be accessed from:
Settings > Home screen & Lock screen > Optimize widget appearance
Improved Notifications and Widget Designs
The update refines animations across the board, particularly within the notification shade and Quick Settings, resulting in a more fluid and responsive feel.
Live Alerts have also received attention, especially for music lovers. Spotify controls within Live Alerts are now more intuitive and easier to use.
Shelf widgets for popular Indian apps like Zomato and Blinkit have been enhanced to better reflect real-time app status and offer improved functionality directly from the Shelf interface.
Security Boost with March 2025 Android Security Patch
In terms of privacy and security, this update brings the latest Android Security Patch for March 2025, safeguarding the device from recent vulnerabilities and threats.
A key addition is the improved process for managing the privacy password. Users will now be prompted to link their privacy password to their OnePlus account. If you ever forget your password, you can reset it using your linked account, allowing you to regain access to private data with ease and security.
Enhanced Connectivity and Interconnection Features
The OnePlus 13R March 2025 Update also brings optimizations to wireless connectivity. Wi-Fi network switching and mobile data roaming have been fine-tuned for more stable and seamless transitions between networks.
Bluetooth connectivity also gets a boost with better compatibility across a wider range of headphones and wireless audio devices, ensuring consistent audio performance during calls and media playback.
Conclusion
The OnePlus 13R OxygenOS 15.0 Stable Update is a significant leap forward in both performance and functionality. With Android 15’s powerful base and OnePlus’ UI optimizations, users can expect a more seamless, fluid, and feature-rich experience.
Whether you’re a power user looking for more control over the Home screen, or someone who values security and reliable connectivity, this update has something for everyone. If you haven’t received the update yet, be sure to check under Settings > System > System Updates.
