ePlus devices. Based on the latest Android 15, OxygenOS 15 brings with it several new UI changes along with a smattering of AI features.

I would've loved to know if there were any improvements to the gallery app, the system clone and usage of third party launchers which is terrible on the current version 😢

      I move from S24+ to OP 12 because of Oxygen OS.
      OneUI is very good, don't get me wrong, especially with Good lock features.
      But interaction of OP haptics with fluidity and speed of Oxygen makes it more enjoyable device to use

You can act like a baby who doesn't know to respect other people's openion, a child who doesn't want to hear others. In neither of my comments, I took it personal but you seem to respond in a personal way. But I gave used all these myself and all my statements are based on my experience and not any YouTuber. I don't bother about people who makes childish judgementa but open to any statements that are based on stats, facts, experience and reasonable points. I only pasted my view on it and did not force anyone to accept it

              Am I the one person who actually likes colorOS? As a oneplus 12r user, this update is great other than the pointless AI. But as long as it's not too intrusive, I'll manage

                still looks coloros-ish bruh

                    you're like that kid that says "c'mon guys this isn't cool, my mum said so!!"

                    lmao, just use what you want. Aesthetics don't change usability, and there's no point in arguing with you about the software update practices of Samsung or Google either, you're not smart enough to understand that. So yeah, go to Google or Scamsung, just don't act like you know everything without trying anything.

                      TwitterPlus, 25 Oct 2024"It reminded us of those pointless videos on YouTube, ... morenot really, this was actually a cool thing to showcase, Samsung has a problem and Oneplus showed they can be better than them in that specific scenario. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that this is an advertisement so it has perfect conditions and the fact that this is a super rare situation to be in. Whatever the case, pretty sure if the phone shown wasn't Samsung/Apple/Google they wouldn't have minded it lmao

                        jiyen235, 25 Oct 2024what are you gonna move to? Sony? LMAO. Samsung? LOL. GOOGL... moreYou can laugh as loud as you can, but Samsung on. SD chip and and Pixel by all means are way way better than Color OS. Although I tried iOS for an year, I ran away from it as the OS experience sucks. (excellent camera though). If OnePlus is going the iOS way, what's the point? In yerms of Software experience Samsung with SD is much better in that aspect despite some boatware and Pixel is supreme in terms of software experience. I don't mind waiting for TSMC Tensor G5. Moto isn't great with OS upgrades since Lenovo took over and has significant delays. OnePlus is no different about the timento upgrade older phones that are still under OS Upgrade Window. Both Samsung and Pixel does extremely well in getting the latest OS in timely manner after the new ones are released... So I don't see an issue going Samsung way or later Pixel way as they have android identity and not the funny iOS identity which is more like neither there nor here.

                              The new Phone Manager application is very necessary, at least it allows you to serve the OnePlus operating system, and at the same time not search for similar applications in Google Play. 
                              In general, OnePlus has a problem with its own software (elementary, there is no audio player of its own)

                                    Nowadays every UI component is supposed to be a rounded corner and have no shades, for instance, how many people can correctly distinguish the Setting app UI of OneUI from that of HyperOS, ColorOS or OriginOS? Unless you're a phone nerd it's becoming essentially impossible for you to figure it out.
