OxygenOS has changed a lot over the years, blending its unique features with elements from OPPO’s ColorOS. While last year’s Android 14-based OxygenOS 14 brought a lot of improvements and design refreshes with Aquamorphic Design, it is time to speculate on what OnePlus can bring to the table with OxygenOS 15.
OxygenOS 15 Expected Release Date
This tradition continued as OxygenOS 14 was released last November, just a little while after the Android 14 update. OxygenOS 13 also launched back in November 2022. Following these timelines and having the Android 15 release date set for August 13 during the upcoming Made By Google event, we should see the stable OxygenOS 15 update hit devices in October this year.
