OnePlus 12 starts receiving stable Android 15 update, but there's a catch

OnePlus 12 received its last open beta version of OxygenOS 15 update about a week ago. Today, the Chinese handset maker announced the stable version of the highly-anticipated OxygenOS 15 update is making its way to OnePlus 12 units all over the world.

Typically, it takes OnePlus a few months to roll out a major OS update. With OnePlus 12, however, the company seems to have skipped a few steps and decided to provide users with the Android 15 update much earlier than we have expected.

But there's a reason for that! Apparently, none of the new features and improvements included in this update are related to AI. OnePlus confirmed that in order to be able to provide its customers with a timely Android 15 update, AI-related features will be gradually integrated in future versions by the end of this month.

Even without the AI-related features, the OxygenOS 15-based on Android 15 update brings quite a lot of new features and improvements. Here are some of the most important changes that you should get with this specific build:

Animations

Visual effects

Numerous system function icons have been updated to improve visual uniformity, creating a cohesive aesthetic throughout the system.

The rounded corner design has also been refined to ensure uniformity, with smooth, continuous curvature applied across all elements.

Photo editing

Floating Window and Split View

Notifications & Quick Settings

Battery & charging

Sounds & vibration

Safety

Privacy

Private Safe now features categorized views for images, videos, and documents, simplifying data organization.

A new Home screen shortcut for hidden apps provides quick access by tapping the folder and verifying your privacy password.

Wi-Fi

OnePlus says that it has already stated the rollout across India, North America, Europe and other regions. The company also confirmed that this is a staged release, which means the update will continue to reach more users in batches throughout this week. Depending on where you live you should be looking for these firmware versions:

Keep in mind that if you want to submit bugs, you can do so by opening the Google Dialer and typing *#800#. You'll be presented with a menu that allows you to submit bugs. It's worth mentioning though that this is only available in India for now, so if you live in another country, you'll have to share your feedback directly on the OnePlus forums.
