OxygenOS 15 Update to Reportedly Come With iOS-Like Control Centre, Live Photos Option and More Features

OnePlus
may
be
developing
the
OxygenOS
15
update
for
its
handsets
and
some
of
its
features
have
been
leaked
online.
The
update’s
development
is
said
to
have
been
kicked
off
following
the
global
release
of
Android
15.
It
is
reported
to
include
several
user
interface
(UI)
changes
to
the
Control
Centre
and
volume
slider
that
may
have
elements
similar
to

iOS
and

HyperOS
–
operating
systems
(OS)
for
iPhone
models
and
Xiaomi
handsets,
respectively.

This
development
comes
a
month
after
OnePlus
announced
a new
software
series
for
its
smartphones
and
tablets
in
India
and
other
countries,
promising
to
roll
out new
monthly
software
updates,
in
addition
to
periodic
updates
and
security
patches.

OxygenOS
15
Update
Features

According
to
a
SmartPrix

report,
OxygenOS
15
is
being
developed
by
OnePlus
for
its
smartphones.
It
follows
the
availability
of
Android
15
source
code
on
the
Android
Open
Source
Project
(AOSP)
–
a
repository
which
allows
developers
or
original
equipment
manufacturers
(OEMs)
to
create
custom
variants
of
the
operating
system
(OS)
for
their
respective
devices
and
port
it.

One
of
the
most
notable
highlights
of
the
purported
update
may
be
a
revamped
Control
Centre.
Although
its
layout
is
said
to
be
similar
to
the
existing
Control
Centre
in
OxygenOS
14,
it
may
have
elements
borrowed
from
iOS
and
HyperOS,
with
the
inclusion
of
a
media
player
in
a
2×2
grid,
a
1×2
brightness
slider,
and
a
volume
panel
in
a
1×2
grid.
Similar
to
iOS,
swiping
down
from
the
left
corner
of
the
screen
could
bring
up
the
notification
window,
whereas
doing
the
same
from
the
right
will
bring
up
the
Control
Centre.

The
volume
slider
will
reportedly
take
inspiration
from
iOS
too,
with
it
shrinking
and
expanding
on
presses.
OxygenOS
15
is
also
said
to
include
a
Live
Photos
option
in
the
Camera
app.
Another
notable
change
is
reported
to
be
the
inclusion
of
a
Dynamic
Island-esque
feature
around
the
hole-punch
cutout
for
the
front
camera. 

OnePlus’
purported
Android
15
skin
will
also
reportedly
bring
new
ways
to
customise
the
lock
screen.
Users
may
be
able
to
change
the
position,
colour,
and
font
of
the
clock.
Additionally,
they
may
also
be
able
to
apply
a
depth
effect,
giving
a
3D
appearance
to
the
lock
screen.

While
there
is
no
information
about
its
release
date,
the
report
adds
that
OnePlus
could
introduce
the
OxygenOS
15
beta
version
by
the
end
of
this
month
or
early October.
