The highly anticipated OxygenOS 15 update based on Android 15, is now available for OnePlus Nord 4 users. This stable release brings an array of exciting features, design updates, and performance enhancements, making the user experience smoother and more customizable than ever. With a hefty update size of 3.46 GB and software version CPH2661_15.0.0.300(EX01), it is packed with improvements across the board.
Smoother Interactions and Enhanced Animations
One of the highlights of this update is the focus on buttery smooth interactions. The system graphics engine has been upgraded to deliver superior rendering and animation performance. A parallel drawing architecture ensures uninterrupted visuals even when multitasking, while animations now cover widgets, folders, and components for a seamless transition experience. Scrolling consistency has also been extended to third-party apps, including WebView interfaces, making navigation feel uniform across the system.
Revamped Design and Themes
OxygenOS 15 introduces a revamped design for the Nord 4, featuring newly designed icons, balanced proportions, and enhanced colors for a fresh and modern look. The rounded corner design ensures a consistent curvature throughout the system, adding a polished feel to the interface.
The update also brings new flux themes, allowing users to customize the Always-On Display, Lock screen, and Home screen with options like blurred wallpapers, AI depth effects, and clock color blending. These features make personalization easier and more dynamic than ever before.
Live Alerts, Photos, and Editing Improvements
Live Alerts have been redesigned for better visualization, now featuring interactive capsules that expand into detailed cards for quick access to multiple live activities. The new animation system adds fluid and dynamic effects, enhancing the overall display.
For photography enthusiasts, live photos now last up to 3 seconds, capturing more memorable moments. Photo editing also receives a boost with globally reversible edits and enhanced integration between the Camera and filters, offering greater flexibility for edits.
Better Multitasking and Notifications
The update enhances multitasking with new gestures for Floating Windows, allowing users to resize, open, or close windows quickly. Split View has also been improved, enabling users to drag dividers for better control of display areas. Additionally, the Recent Tasks view now guides users back to their last-used app, streamlining navigation.
In terms of notifications, a Split Mode separates the notification drawer from Quick Settings, offering easier access. The revamped Quick Settings layout and animations further enhance the usability and aesthetic appeal.
Battery and Privacy Enhancements
The Charging Limit feature is a significant addition for battery longevity, halting charging at 80% to reduce degradation. A new battery protection reminder prompts users to activate this feature during prolonged charging sessions.
Privacy features also see improvements, with an optimized Private Safe offering categorized views for better data management. Hidden apps can now be quickly accessed through privacy password verification, ensuring security without compromising convenience.
