OnePlus OxygenOS 16 set to launch 16 October

OnePlus has officially confirmed that OxygenOS 16 will be launched in India on 16 October 2025, just a day after Oppo unveils ColorOS 16 in China. While details remain scarce, the new iteration is expected to feature deeper AI integration, possibly leveraging Google Gemini, alongside the smooth and fluid user experience that OxygenOS is known for.

OxygenOS 16 is the latest version of OnePlus’ proprietary Android skin. Over the years, OxygenOS has earned a reputation for being one of the fastest and most responsive UIs in the Android ecosystem. Although it shares similarities with Realme and Oppo skins, OnePlus users benefit from these features without ads or unnecessary bloatware.

The OxygenOS 16 update will be available for a wide range of devices, including:

OnePlus 13, 13R, 13S
OnePlus Open
OnePlus 12, 12R
OnePlus 11, 11R
OnePlus Nord 5, 4, 3
OnePlus Nord CE5, CE4, CE4 Lite
OnePlus Pad 3, Pad Lite, Pad 2, Pad

Note: This update will be the final software upgrade for the Nord CE 4, Nord CE 4 Lite, and OnePlus Nord 3, as per the company’s update policy of two to three years.
