Keep your OnePlus 11 protected from your slippery fingers
Winkey W., head of OnePlus’ OxygenOS Operations Team, hinted on the OnePlus Community forums that the wait for OxygenOS 15 update, which will presumably be based on Android 15, on the OnePlus 11 “ends next week.” Although no exact date or rollout details were shared, OnePlus typically begins with an Open Beta for older devices before releasing the stable update to all users.
OxygenOS 15 for OnePlus 11 is just around the corner
Nonetheless, the post confirms that OxygenOS 15 will soon arrive on the OnePlus 11 in some form. OnePlus has been impressively quick with its Android 15 rollouts this year, not just for smartphones but also for tablets — the OnePlus Pad 2 also received the update recently. It’s quite encouraging to see OnePlus improving the speed of major OS updates for its devices, an area where the company has lagged historically.
As for features, it remains to be seen what OxygenOS 15 will bring to the OnePlus 11. On other devices, the update introduced a new graphics engine for smoother animations, new multitasking gestures, support for the flux theming engine, an iPhone Dynamic Island-inspired feature called Fluid Cloud, and much more. OnePlus has also rolled out its first AI features with the OnePlus 12’s OxygenOS 15 update, though it’s unclear if these will make it to the OnePlus 11.
Thankfully, with OxygenOS 15 expected to arrive on the OnePlus 11 within a week, we won’t have to wait long to see what it offers. While brands like Samsung have delayed their Android 15 rollout to next year, it’s impressive to see OnePlus delivering the update so soon after Google’s Android 15 release for Pixel devices.
