Key Features & Improvements
The update delivers dramatically smoother animations throughout the interface. Dragging icons, widgets, and folders feels fluid and natural, while the text selection magnifier fades seamlessly. Opening Quick Settings or the notification drawer no longer causes jarring transitions, and audio controls animate elegantly.
OnePlus Connect now shares clipboard content between devices, while the new My Devices feature in Quick Settings lets you control connected gadgets with ease. Floating windows support two apps simultaneously for enhanced multitasking, and customizable 2×1 tiles give you quick access to brightness, audio, and device controls.
Performance & AI Enhancements
The Trinity Engine automatically optimizes power and performance during gaming, video playback, and multitasking. AI-powered features include an intelligent writing toolkit for drafting emails and social posts, Mind Space for organizing scattered information, and enhanced cross-device connectivity.
The new swipe-back gesture shows previews of previous pages and allows mid-gesture cancellation for better control.
How to Get the Update
Check manually by navigating to Settings > System > Software Update. Since this is a staged rollout, it may take one to two weeks to reach all users. Ensure you have sufficient storage space as the update weighs approximately 7GB.
