OnePlus has officially announced the launch of OxygenOS 16, its next major software update based on Android 16, set to debut on October 16, 2025. The rollout will begin with the OnePlus 15 series in India, followed by a global release through over-the-air (OTA) updates. This marks another step forward in OnePlus’s commitment to delivering seamless, AI-powered experiences across its ecosystem.
Enhanced Google Gemini Integration via Mind Space Hub

Users can now leverage Gemini to handle smart note-taking, reminders, and task management—making everyday productivity more intuitive. This integration aims to blend AI assistance natively into the user experience rather than relying solely on third-party apps.
Performance Boosts: Faster, Smoother, and More Stable
Beyond AI features, OxygenOS 16 focuses on core performance enhancements. Users can expect smoother animations, faster app launches, and better overall system stability. The update also optimizes resource allocation for multitasking, ensuring consistent performance even during heavy usage.

The new OxygenOS 16 will be available for a wide range of OnePlus devices, including:
- OnePlus 11, 12, and 13 series
- OnePlus Nord models
- OnePlus Open foldable
- OnePlus Pad and Pad Go tablets
The update will roll out in stages, with the latest flagship models receiving it first, followed by older and mid-range devices.
A Step Toward a More Connected OnePlus Ecosystem
By integrating AI deeply into OxygenOS, OnePlus aims to create a more connected, intelligent, and personalized ecosystem for its users. From productivity to multitasking and entertainment, OxygenOS 16 reflects the company’s push toward merging performance with intelligent software experiences.
