The Android 15 beta started in February for Google and late May for select OnePlus phones, delivering exciting changes. Later this year, it'll begin rolling out for multiple OnePlus phones. With the OnePlus Android 15 (OxygenOS 15) beta well underway, here's what you need to know.

As of right now, the Android 15 beta is available on select Pixel phones, along with the OnePlus 12 and OnePlus Open. More models and manufacturers like Samsung will likely join in later this year. Once the final version is ready for the masses, we expect OxygenOS 15 to hit the OnePlus 12 first before moving on to the rest.

When Will OnePlus Release Android 15?

Remember, the version of Android 15 available right now for select OnePlus phones is only the beta, and it may not be entirely stable for daily use. Before OnePlus officially sends the OxygenOS 15 update (Android 15) out to devices, it'll be fully beta-tested for several months.

The phone maker is ahead of many other manufacturers, as the OxygenOS 15 beta, based on Android 15, started in mid-May. If OnePlus follows its previous update cycle strategies, as it did with Android 14 last year, we anticipate the first update will start rolling out to the public in early to mid-November. Again, that'll likely be for the OnePlus 12 and Open, depending on your region.

For the beta, those who give it a try can expect multiple updates throughout the summer as OnePlus and Google continue to fine-tune the experience, fix bugs, and integrate new features. Then, in the coming weeks or months, OnePlus will likely add more phones (or the Pad) to the beta program.

Basically, we expect the OxygenOS 15 beta to end sometime after Google officially releases Android 15, likely around August or September. Then, OnePlus will start finalizing things and sending it to all the eligible devices.

For example, last year, the OnePlus 11 5G received Android 14 on November 16th in India, then eventually for other regions. Phones like the OnePlus 10, Nord, and more had to wait until December, January, etc. The older OnePlus 9 didn't see it until March 2024 in the United States, and it won't get Android 15 this year. We expect a similar early 2025 arrival of Android 15 for older phones like the OnePlus 10.

What to Expect From OxygenOS 15

The OxygenOS 15 update will deliver many changes and new features from Google, thanks to Android 15, while the rest will come from the developer teams at OnePlus. It'll combine new goodies with UI changes and other advancements.

The first beta doesn't have a ton of new stuff, but as more betas arrive throughout the summer, we'll have a better idea of what to expect. For example, owners can expect all sorts of AI, naturally. OnePlus devices will be
