New Delhi: OnePlus has finally introduced its latest Android 16-based OxygenOS 16, which features a redesigned interface, smoother animations, wider customisation options, and the latest AI-powered capabilities. The update also marks deeper collaboration with Google, integrating Gemini AI into the Plus Mind hub. OnePlus has strengthened cross-device connectivity through enhanced O+ Connect support and improved compatibility with Apple accessories. OnePlus has stated that the latest OxygenOS 16 comes with a refreshed visual identity with Gaussian blur effects, rounded UI elements, and translucent surfaces across Quick Settings, the Home Screen, and the App Drawer. These design changes extend to OnePlus’ native applications, including the Clock and Calculator.

Support for MotionPhotos and video wallpapers has also been added.
