OnePlus Launches OxygenOS 16 With AI Hub, Gemini Integration and Staged Rollout

Plus Mind’s on-device Mind Space powers context-aware help alongside expanded links to Macs, Windows and Apple Watch.

Overview

  • An open beta began on October 17, with stable releases starting in November 2025 for the OnePlus 13/12 series, Open and Pad 2/3, expanding in December to the OnePlus 11 and Nord models, and reaching devices like the 10 Pro and CE4 series in Q1 2026; the OnePlus 15 will ship with the new software.
  • Mind Space ties into Google Gemini so the assistant can reference user‑saved content for personalized responses, though reviewers note the Gemini link may not be active in the initial beta builds.
  • Built‑in AI tools include AI Writer for mind maps and captions, AI Scan for documents, AI Recorder with summaries and transcripts, and camera features like AI Portrait Glow and AI Perfect Shot, plus an experimental AI PlayLab.
  • The update adds a visual refresh with Flux Theme 2.0, Liquid Glass‑style blur, deeper lock screen and app drawer customization, and smoother animations via Parallel Processing 2.0 and updated system effects.
  • Cross‑ecosystem features extend to O+ Connect for macOS and Windows and OHealth support for Apple Watch, enabling notifications, messages, exercise sync, phone call support and remote camera control.
