What’s new with Android 15-based OxygenOS 15 update, how to update?

The Android 15-based OxygenOS 15 update for the OnePlus Nord 4 and Nord CE 4 brings some visual enhancements, including new system animations and swipe consistency for third-party apps and apps with WebView interfaces.

The update also brings a parallel drawing architecture, enabling smooth switching between multiple apps. The feature also works for widgets and folders on your home screen. Further, there’s a new Split mode added to the UI that separates notification drawers and quick setting toggles, for those who want to keep things clutter-free.

Both the Nord 4 and the Nord CE 4 get new Flux themes that offer high-quality themes with several customisation options. Flux themes not only integrate well with the home screen, but also with lock screen and Always-On Display.
