OxygenOS 15: What is new
OxygenOS 15 integrates Google’s Gemini AI model, introducing a range of advanced features. These include Intelligent Search for streamlined file and note searches, AI Notes for writing assistance, and AI Reply for crafting quick responses in messaging apps. The update also adds new photography tools, such as AI Detail Boost for upscaling images, AI Unblur for fixing blurry photos, and AI Reflection Eraser to enhance photo quality.

The design and animation updates bring smoother app transitions through parallel processing. Redesigned icons and user interface improvements enhance the quick settings menu and notification bar.
Built on Android 15, OxygenOS 15 also introduces advanced security features such as Theft Detection Lock and Remote Lock to strengthen device protection.
