OxygenOS 15 (Android 15) is actually awesome.

[@SchioAlves]

This swipe on the corner to access the controls and switching between notifications and controls is something that was present on Cyanogenmod of Android up to KitKat, quite before the swipe on the corner debuted on iOS. It's good to see them going looking back for good ideas.

[@themonkeyman2790]

But we all know they are not actually "going looking back for good ideas", it's just that since now it's a trend among all the Chinese skins to be as close to iOS as possible, and when your biggest competitor(HyperOS) has done it, you must implement it too. I genuinely wonder how much, if any, role does Oneplus actually have in creating or designing the ColorOS-OxygenOS base from scratch, in the sense that they seem to only modify OxygenOS slightly, to "look" different from ColorOS, but in reality it's mostly just Oppo engineers doing the from scratch work.

[@SchioAlves]

I just updated my OnePlus 12 this morning. So far,so good. I need to play around with it some more. I have a backup phone that is an iPhone so I was able to check out the send to iPhone feature and it works, but it was a little cumbersome and there wasn't much in the way of instructions on how to use it, but I got it to work for both receiving and sending photos back and forth between the devices.

[@downsouthlouisiana]

Battery limits was already there. Im lost... But the phone is definitely smoother than before. I'm actually impressed with how they got it out so quickly. I've only had the update a couple hours but I'll keep digging on.

[@mohamedabdelsalam6094]

How did you get this update? Till now i didn't receive it

[@downsouthlouisiana]

@mohamedabdelsalam6094 It came on the phone when I bought it. I've been having the phone since it came out. The only difference is now the battery limit works with wireless charging also. Before it only worked when u plug it into the USB C port. I have the U.S version if that helps.

[@AuraMaster_7]

The change is that now battery limit will automatically turn itself on if you left your phone charging for too long, even if you have the feature turned off. It's a nice change. I like to charge fully to 100%, but this means I don't have to worry about destroying my battery if I accidentally leave my phone plugged in.

Coming from a Pixel 7 Pro, my OnePlus 12 has always felt a little less "smart" if, you will. (Though snappier & superior in battery life and other areas as well). I'm very much looking forward to trying out OnePlus' new AI features. Circle to search will be a welcome addition for sure!

[@downsouthlouisiana]

Certainly closer to stock Android than oxygen OS or one UI. All of that said it is true that Google's particular launcher is not especially feature-rich in terms of customization. But I don't really care that much about stock launchers because it's Android and you can literally do anything you want with third party launchers. I mean it's nice to have a stock launcher but I might use it 20% of the time. Less if it's one UI

[@TaureanSmoke]

Normally I would agree but OnePlus doesn't have a significant hate campaign against them like Google does! Nobody says OnePlus phones overheat nobody says they're slow no one says they're bad devices! But when it comes to Google they actually have real hate campaigns they only got 12% market share but anytime you see a video you see a ocean of people saying the phone's overheat which they don't and if they did they wouldn't have been gaining market share all this time and also this big jump with the pixel 9! There are a lot of grifters on the internet but I don't think OnePlus is facing any significant negativity from those hate campaigns. The only phone brand in America that gets unfounded hate like that is Google! There's a bunch of people who have never touched a single pixel device a day in their life but saying the phones overheat just sitting in your pocket! It's not as lucrative to hate on OnePlus like it's lucrative to hate on Google! Google hate videos get millions of views versus OnePlus hate videos virtually no one watches them I think OnePlus is biggest problem is their fan base has dwindled because they lost the edge they had in the market. And that edge was they were releasing phones for 30% less money than the flagships but their phones had almost 30% more features speed or really good quarks etc etc! OnePlus has lost that because Apple Samsung and Google have bossed up so much in these past couple years it's hard to compete with them at this point.

OxygenOS has completely lost its identity. What was once a clean and performance-focused interface has now become just a rebranded Chinese skin, trying so hard to mimic iOS that it’s almost embarrassing to use a OnePlus phone. It's far from what made the brand stand out in the first place. I was a OnePlus user in the past, but I can't see myself returning because of the software.

[@TaureanSmoke]

I never use the OnePlus phone but back in the day they were really making tsunamis! I think a brand like OnePlus can only thrive when competition amongst the brands is low and all the phones feel the same in a market like that OnePlus can thrive because they're able to show how different they were from the competition but now it literally just seems like a Chinese phone!
