OnePlus smartphones are famous for their hardware and design, but one of the strongest selling points of these smartphones has been the OxygenOS that offers a clean and intuitive user interface. Despite recent versions of OxygenOS being heavily derived from Oppo’s ColorOS, it still maintains its charm by providing bloatware-free experiences, especially in the high-end segment.
OxygenOS 14, the latest version based on Android 14, has become richer in experience and features, now including AI functionalities for web page summarisation and image editing. Here are some of the best features of OxygenOS that every OnePlus smartphone user should know about.
Note that some of these features are only available on the latest models, but previous-generation devices are expected to receive these capabilities via software updates.
AI Eraser harnesses the power of generative AI to help users remove or replace backgrounds, objects, humans, or animals in an image. This tool is user-friendly and can edit images in seconds, though the quality of the final result depends on the original image’s quality.
The AI Summarise feature on select OnePlus smartphones, including the newly-introduced Nord 4 (review), can condense an entire web page into a short, easy-to-read format, saving you time. The best part is that this feature works on any web browser.
While most modern OnePlus smartphones offer a 120Hz screen refresh rate, they also allow granular control over the refresh rate for specific apps. For instance, you can set a lower refresh rate for a video player through the settings menu. This feature is also useful for gaming, as the phone will automatically run the game at a higher refresh rate. Performance varies depending on the phone’s hardware capabilities, and running some apps at a lower refresh rate can help extend battery life.
Auto Pixelate 2.0 on OxygenOS can automatically blur sensitive details with just a single click. It blurs names, phone numbers, and profile pictures, and one can use this feature as soon as they take a screenshot.
OnePlus smartphones are also known for their fast-charging capability, and the company’s latest Nord 4 can charge at 100W. While fast charging has gotten better over the years, it can still have a negative impact on the longevity of the battery health. Hence, one needs to manually enable smart rapid charging to get the fastest charging experience, which can be done from the battery settings menu.
By manually enabling high-performance mode on OnePlus phones, one can experience smoother gaming at the cost of increased power consumption and a bit of heating. If you are looking to get the most out of your OnePlus smartphone, then you need to enable high-performance mode from the battery settings menu.
These are the top six features of OxygenOS that can significantly enhance the daily experience and performance of your OnePlus smartphone.
