Oxygen OS 16 changelog and features 

Oxygen OS 16 brings several new customisations and a visual refresh to the smartphones. OnePlus’ new Parallel Processing 2.0 makes animations run concurrently, eliminating visual lag between interactions. 

The UI now embraces softer edges, translucent backgrounds, and Gaussian blur effects across the Home Screen, App Drawer, and Quick Settings for a more premium aesthetic.

OxygenOS 16 introduces resizable app icons and enhanced tablet support. Users can resize folders or icons, add up to five apps in Open Canvas, and use floating windows for multitasking.

A revamped Flux Theme 2.0 brings dynamic wallpapers and motion photos, while lock screen widgets let users view essential info without unlocking their device. The new Fluid Cloud feature shows live updates, from food orders to sports scores, directly on the lock screen.

Additionally, the update brings Plus Mind, OnePlus’s upgraded AI companion, allowing users to save long-form content, record one-minute voice memos, and share images seamlessly.
