OnePlus 12R gets Android 15-based OxygenOS update

The new OxygenOS 15 brings deeper integration with the Camera app and filters to allow users to perform faster post-editing.

Last month, OnePlus launched OxygenOS 15 beta testing for OnePlus 12 and 12R. Now, the company has rolled out the Android 15-based update to the OnePlus 12R in global markets including Europe and India.

The company confirmed the news on its official community forum. The latest OnePlus OxygenOS 15 update brings new features, refreshed user interface, animations with improved visual effects and more.

With the new graphics engine, parallel processing extends to elements such as widgets, components, and folders, providing seamless transitions and smooth animations, even during frequent interruptions, said the company.

The new update also brings flux themes with numerous customisation options for wallpapers and personal photos, to personalise their user interface on the home screen and lock screen.

The new OxygenOS 15 brings deeper integration with the Camera app and filters on the OnePlus 12R (review). It will allow users to perform faster post-editing, and alter, or remove applied filters in the photos.

The latest update brings resizable split-view windows. This enables users to drag the divider or tap to expand the display area as needed.

One of the most notable additions to OxygenOS 15 is the OnePlus Share feature. This feature will allow users to share file transfers with iOS devices faster than ever before.

OxygenOS 15 update will bring new refreshing user-interface to OnePlus phones.

To improve the longevity of the battery's power-carrying capacity, OxygenOS 15 brings a "Charging limit" feature. It halts charging at 80 per cent. This way, it reduces the pace of the battery's chemical degradation.

Also, if the phone is connected to a charging point for too long, it will notify users to remove the device.

As far as security is concerned, the OxygenOS 15 brings a new app control feature. It offers the option to the users to block unwanted pop-ups and background activities, improving system security and battery efficiency.

And, it brings a new anti-theft feature. Theft Detection makes full use of the on-device AI tech and sensors to instantly know the phone has been snatched and initiates the screen lock process.

The roll-out process is conducted in phases, so it will take a few days to reach all regions.

Here's how to install Android 15-based OxygenOS 15 on OnePlus phone:

Step 1: Go to Settings

Step 2: Select About device

Step 3: Click the OxygenOS card to check for updates. You get notification and just follow the onscreen instructions.
