OnePlus has announced OxygenOS 16, its take on Android 16, with upgrades to its Mind Space AI tool including complete integration with Google Gemini. Other updates include new lock screen customizations, improved connectivity options, and design tweaks throughout.

Mind Space is where the biggest changes have been made. When it launched in June, Mind Space only allowed you to save screenshots, which the AI would then analyze to extract information or create calendar entries. Now you can also save longer, scrolling screenshots to the AI locker, and record 60-second voice memos to add more information for the AI to work with.

More importantly, OnePlus has worked with Google to integrate its Gemini AI Assistant, which is capable of handling tasks based on the information in your Mind Space. Save lots of screenshots of hotels, flight options, and attractions for a vacation, for example, and you can ask Gemini to create a travel itinerary based specifically on what you’ve saved.

Other changes to OxygenOS 16 include significantly more flexible lock screen customizations that echo Apple’s additions in 2022’s iOS 16. Connectivity with other products has been improved too: you can now tap to share photos between an Oppo phone and an iPhone, connect to an Apple Watch for basic notification syncing, and take remote control of both Macs and now Windows PCs, all through the O Plus Connect app.

All that, plus the promise of smoother performance, more fluid animations, and a glowing “Optical Light” effect in some UI elements that bears a passing resemblance to Apple’s Liquid Glass. Most of the changes seen in OxygenOS are shared by Oppo’s ColorOS 16, on which it’s based, also revealed in full today alongside the Find X9 flagship phones.

OxygenOS 16 enters an open beta tomorrow, October 17th, and will first launch officially together with the upcoming OnePlus 15 before rolling out to older devices.
