Popular premium smartphone maker OnePlus has confirmed that it will launch the much-anticipated OxygenOS 16 update in India this month.

OnePlus OxygenOS 16 Launch in India: Check Date

The company confirmed that OxygenOS 16 will be officially unveiled on October 16, 2025, in India. According to OnePlus, the Android 16-based update will introduce a brand-new Material-3 Expressive UI, offering a more refined and visually engaging experience for users. It is also expected to enhance overall system responsiveness and deliver a smoother user experience across supported devices.

Live Sports Tracking & Dynamic Island-Like Feature Expected From OnePlus OxygenOS 16 Update

One of the most talked-about potential features of OxygenOS 16 is an innovative live sports tracking tool. Reports from Android Authority suggest that OnePlus might be developing a feature similar to Apple's Dynamic Island - an interactive display element located at the top of the screen.

If introduced, this feature would allow OnePlus users to track live sports scores in real time without needing to open separate apps or use widgets. The interaction could work via a small expandable display area that updates automatically during matches - a particularly appealing option for sports fans in India.

On Apple devices, Dynamic Island was introduced with iOS 16.1 and offers interactive elements that expand with a long press to show more detailed information, such as scoreboards. A similar execution on OxygenOS 16 would significantly improve how notifications and live updates are delivered.

Eligible Devices and Models For OxygenOS 16 Update

The OxygenOS 16 update is expected to be compatible with a wide range of OnePlus smartphones and tablets. Confirmed eligible devices include:

• OnePlus 13, 13R, 13S
• OnePlus Open
• OnePlus 12, 12R
• OnePlus 11, 11R
• OnePlus Nord 5, Nord 4, Nord 3
• OnePlus Nord CE 5, CE4, CE4 Lite
• OnePlus Pad 3, Pad Lite, Pad 2, and original OnePlus Pad

Notably, this update will serve as the final software upgrade for a few devices, specifically the Nord CE 4, Nord CE 4 Lite, and OnePlus Nord 3, in accordance with OnePlus's standard policy of offering two to three years of software support.

AI-Powered Enhancements & Google Gemini Integration

While the full changelog is yet to be officially released, OxygenOS 16 is expected to include advanced AI-driven functionalities. Among these enhancements are deeper integrations with Google Gemini, promising smarter interactions and greater automation capabilities within the UI.
