OnePlus has started rolling out its December update, and it’s packed with some neat improvements, especially for photo management (OxygenOS 15 only) and those widgets we use daily. Let me break down what’s new in this OxygenOS V20P01 update.
First up, here’s the official changelog:
Photos (OxygenOS 15 only)
- Adds a filtered view of photos, videos, and favorites to Photos.
- Now you can see the date of photos when dragging the side slider.
- Now you can lock a whole photo/video album for efficiency.
- ProXDR can now be kept after editing photos with watermarks.
- Boarding passes can now be recognized and added to Google Wallet.
Weather
- Optimizes the widgets of Weather on the Home screen for better style and layout.
Clock (OxygenOS 15 only)
- Optimizes the widgets of Clock on the Home screen and adds various styles.
System
- Improves system stability.
If you’re wondering when you’ll get this update, OnePlus is rolling it out gradually from December 2, 2024, and aims to reach everyone by January 2, 2025. The update’s coming to quite a range of devices – from the latest OnePlus 12 Series all the way back to the OnePlus 8 family.
For those running OxygenOS 14 & 15, that’s the OnePlus 12 Series and Nord CE4 5G. If you’re on OxygenOS 14, this includes the OnePlus Open, 11 Series, 10 Series, 9 Series, 8T, various Nord models, and both OnePlus tablets. Even older devices running OxygenOS 13.1.0 and 13.0.0 aren’t left out.
Want to check if the update’s available for you? Just head to Settings > About device > tap the OxygenOS card. You might not see it right away though – OnePlus is starting with users in Asia-Pacific regions like India and Malaysia, plus Middle Eastern countries, before expanding to other areas.
