The news OnePlus users have been eagerly awaiting has arrived. Last week, the company gave the first hints about its new Android interface, OxygenOS 16, and has finally officially announced its launch date: October 16! Given that Google released Android 16 in June, this announcement may have taken some time. However, true to its name, OnePlus is preparing to release its new Android 16-based interface to users in the middle of this month. Here are the details.
OxygenOS 16 Theme: “Intelligently Yours”
As clearly evident in the released promotional image, OxygenOS 16’s primary focus will be artificial intelligence (AI). The new interface will be marketed with the slogan “Intelligently Yours.” OnePlus has previously hinted at a deeper integration with Google’s advanced AI model, Gemini.
This integration will allow Gemini to access OnePlus’s own built-in apps, making the user experience more personalized and intelligent. The release date for OxygenOS 16 is closely tied to the release of the new flagship phone. The OnePlus 15 is expected to launch internationally with OxygenOS 16; some rumors suggest this launch will take place on November 13th.
On the other hand, there’s also a possibility that the phone could be announced earlier for the Chinese market, perhaps on October 16th, the same day as the launch of OxygenOS 16. All eyes are on this date to see how OnePlus will shape its new AI-enhanced mobile experience.
