First-gen OnePlus Pad gets a taste of OxygenOS 15 with stable update

Last month, OnePlus started pushing the stable Android 15-based OxygenOS 15 update for the OnePlus Pad 2. The update was available for the global variant of the OnePlus Pad 2 including Europe and India. Now, according to an official post, the first-generation OnePlus Pad is receiving the stable Android 15-based OxygenOS 15 update.

Notably, the update is currently live for OnePlus Pad in India, with the update rolling out in other regions in the coming weeks. The update lands on the OnePlus Pad with build number OPD2203_15.0.0.301(EX01) and brings several new features including animation effects, AI Retouch, AI Notes, Flux themes, floating window and split view, etc.

Here is the complete changelog of the update:

Changelog

Ultra animation effects

  • Adds system-level swiping curve coverage for third-party apps, including WebView interfaces, ensuring a consistent scrolling experience throughout the system.

Luminous rendering effects

  • Redesigns Home screen icons which now feature new and improved icons with the most natural and comfortable proportions and colours for fuller and sharper visuals.
  • Redesigns a vast number of system function icons, ensuring greater visual consistency at a system level.
  • Optimises the rounded corner design by standardising its specifications and extending the application of a continuous curvature.

Live Alerts

  • Adds a new Live Alerts design that is focused on the visualisation of information, offering better information display efficiency. Live Alerts is also positioned in the centre, creating a more balanced display.
  • Optimises the way you interact with Live Alerts capsules – just tap a capsule and see it expand into a card. You can quickly switch between multiple live activities simply by swiping left or right on the capsules in the status bar, making it more efficient to view information.

Photo editing

  • Introduces globally reversible photo editing capability that remembers the settings for your previous edits so they can be applied to subsequent edits, keeping the creative flow uninterrupted.
  • Improves integration between Camera and filters, so filters that are applied to photos when taken can be edited, changed and removed later in Photos.

Floating Window and Split View

  • Introduces new Floating Window gestures: pulling down a notification banner to bring up a floating window, pulling down a floating window for full screen display, swiping up to close a floating window and swiping to a side to hide a floating window.

Notifications & Quick Settings

  • Adds the Split mode for the notification drawer and Quick Settings. Swipe down from the upper-left to open the notification drawer, swipe down from the upper-right for Quick Settings and swipe left or right to switch between them.
  • Redesigns Quick Settings with an optimised layout that offers more appealing and consistent visuals and more refined and rich animations.

Battery & charging

  • Introduces "Charging limit" to stop charging at 80% to extend battery lifespan and slow down degradation.
  • Introduces battery protection reminder to turn on Charging limit when your device is connected to a charger for too long.

Privacy protection

  • Improves Private Safe with the new categorised browsing features for images, videos and documents, making it easier to manage private data.
