OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G users can now upgrade to Android 15 based OxygenOS 15
OnePlus has officially confirmed the rollout of stable Android 15-based OxygenOS 15 for its Nord CE 3 Lite users. The build number of the update is OxygenOS15.0.0.400. However, this OxygenOS update doesn’t have as many features as it does to the flagship models. There are no AI features to begin with. This could be probably because of the weaker hardware we get on the device.
Anyway, the update adds luminous UI rendering along with live alerts, advanced window management, upgraded floating windows and other features. Here is the official changelog of the update:
Luminous rendering effects
- Optimises the rounded corner design by standardising its specifications and extending the application of a continuous curvature.
Live Alerts
- Adds a new Live Alerts design that is focused on the visualisation of information, offering better information display efficiency. Live Alerts is also positioned in the centre, creating a more balanced display.
- Optimises the way you interact with Live Alerts capsules – just tap a capsule and see it expand into a card. You can quickly switch between multiple live activities simply by swiping left or right on the capsules in the status bar, making it more efficient to view information.
Floating Window and Split View
- Introduces new Floating Window gestures: pulling down a notification banner to bring up a floating window, pulling down a floating window for full-screen display, swiping up to close a floating window and swiping to a side to hide a floating window.
- Introduces resizable Split View windows. Simply drag the divider to resize the window not fully displayed for a larger display area. You can also achieve this by tapping the window.
Notifications & Quick Settings
- Adds the Split mode for the notification drawer and Quick Settings. Swipe down from the upper left to open the notification drawer, swipe down from the upper right for Quick Settings and swipe left or right to switch between them.
