OxygenOS 16 update rolling out in November 2025

Eligible Devices and Rollout Schedule

OxygenOS 16 began rolling out in November 2025, with a phased approach prioritizing newer devices:

OnePlus has officially unveiled OxygenOS 16, a groundbreaking update based on Android 16 that promises to redefine the smartphone experience. With the tagline “Intelligently Yours,” this update brings a stunning visual overhaul, powerful AI capabilities, and performance enhancements that make it one of the most anticipated software releases of 2025.

A Design That Breathes Life

OxygenOS 16 introduces a major visual transformation guided by two design philosophies: “Breathe With You” for refined, consistent visuals, and “Thrive with Free Expression” for enhanced customization. The star of the show is the new Liquid Glass design language, which applies Gaussian blur effects throughout the system, creating a translucent, premium aesthetic reminiscent of frosted glass.

The update features a translucent floating bottom bar in the Photos app, home screen search, app drawer, and recent apps screen. Quick Settings has been reimagined with a two-panel layout – one for quick actions and another dedicated to notifications, giving users better control and organization.

AI-Powered Intelligence

OnePlus has integrated cutting-edge AI features that genuinely enhance productivity and creativity:

Performance That Flows

OxygenOS 16 introduces Parallel Processing 2.0, an enhanced version of OnePlus’s animation framework that processes app transitions in parallel. This extends to the App Drawer, Shelf, and three-button navigation, creating seamless, fluid animations that make the entire system feel incredibly responsive.

The new Flow Motion framework ensures content opens and closes fluidly from the exact point you tap, implemented across the Notes app, Photos, Quick Settings, and even the always-on display. Combined with optimized battery management through tiered power-saving modes, OxygenOS 16 delivers both speed and endurance.

Cross-Device Ecosystem

Breaking down barriers between platforms, OxygenOS 16 introduces comprehensive cross-device connectivity through the new O+ Connect app. You can now seamlessly sync clipboard content, share files, mirror your screen, and even control your OnePlus phone’s camera using an Apple Watch. The integration works beautifully with Windows, macOS, Android Auto, and OnePlus tablets, creating a unified ecosystem that rivals Apple’s continuity features.

Customization Unleashed

Flux Themes 2.0 brings extensive customization options to the lock screen, including support for motion photos and videos as wallpapers. The word art feature now allows custom text effects instead of just presets. App icons can be scaled with quick actions, the dark mode features new light effects when tapping icons, and the overall experience feels more personal than ever.
