OxygenOS 16: OnePlus lists all eligible devices for Android 16 update

OnePlus has officially unveiled its plans for the rollout of the OxygenOS 16 update, based on Android 16, which will begin in November 2025 and extend into the first quarter of 2026. This update promises a fresh user interface, innovative artificial intelligence functionalities, and compatibility with the Apple Watch, while also confirming that the upcoming OnePlus 15 will launch with Android 16 pre-installed. The announcement, shared through the company’s forums, details the devices eligible for the update along with the anticipated timeline. The initial wave of updates, set for November 2025, will target the latest OnePlus devices, including the OnePlus 13 series, the OnePlus Open, and the OnePlus Pad models. In December, users of older devices such as the OnePlus 11 5G and various Nord models can expect to receive the update. The final phase between January and March 2026 will see upgrades for models like the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G and the Pad Lite. It’s important to note that the timing may differ based on regional factors, and this schedule is applicable to global users. Among the standout features of OxygenOS 16 is Plus Mind, a system that centralizes on-screen content into a hub known as Mind Space. Users can access this feature via a special key or by performing a three-finger swipe. Plus Mind intelligently extracts contextual details, such as event dates from posters, and offers suggestions for calendar entries. Additionally, it facilitates long screenshots and allows the Plus Key to be customized for various actions like launching the camera or adjusting sound settings. The update also incorporates Google Gemini, which leverages the content stored in Mind Space to deliver contextual suggestions. For example, users can seek home décor ideas based on their previously saved designs, with Gemini providing tailored recommendations. This integration of Plus Mind with Google Gemini is designed to enhance usability and streamline workflows for OnePlus users, making their experience more efficient and enjoyable.
