Oxygen OS 12 release date in India, features, download, supported devices, and more

Oxygen OS 12 release date, feature, and list of supported devices, among other things, have officially been announced by OnePlus. The new custom skin that is based on Android 12 offers much tighter integration with OPPO’s ColorOS. This doesn’t come as a surprise as earlier this year OnePlus announced that it’s merging its research and development department with its sister company OPPO. The new Oxygen OS 12 for OnePlus devices is said to help you focus on and move seamlessly between work, rest, and play. The custom skin comes with streamlined and subtly textured visuals, along with Work Life Balance 2.0, OnePlus Scout, better integration with the smartwatch, enhanced dark mode, and more. Here’s everything you need to know about Oxygen OS 12:

Oxygen OS 12 release date in India

Oxygen OS 12 open beta update is already out for the flagships OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro. OnePlus has also started a closed beta update for OnePlus 9RT and OnePlus 8 series. The Oxygen OS 12 stable version update is expected to roll out by the end of this year.

As for the OnePlus Nord N10 5G and OnePlus Nord N100, the handsets are unlikely to get Android 12-based OxygenOS 12. The company would reportedly seed only one major Android update for the OnePlus Nord N series phones. Both the OnePlus Nord N10 5G and the OnePlus N100, to recall, were announced with Android 10, which means Android 11-based on Oxygen OS 11 will be their last update.

Oxygen OS 12 features

OnePlus has announced a host of new features for the Oxygen OS 12 update. Let’s take a look at them

Work Life Balance 2.0

This will allow users to shift from Work and Personal profiles, with customised notification and app access, seamlessly. The feature was previously exclusive to a particular region; however, with Oxygen OS 12, the Work Life Balance will be available for all across the globe.

Three different levels of Dark Mode

The Oxygen OS 12 has three different levels of dark mode that are said to make content easier to read. It’ll allow users to adjust the level of darkness on OnePlus devices. The feature has been a direct pick from the ColorOS.

Clean interface

OnePlus’ new custom interface also brings more streamlined visuals than ever before, as well as accentuating light and space, simple geometric lines and shapes to ensure a clean interface with fresh elements. 

OnePlus Scout

This nifty little feature lets you find anything on your phone, from documents, contacts, music tracks, to web entries, with a quick search. The OnePlus Scout also comes with a voice search feature for faster results. It’s coming to all OnePlus devices with Oxygen OS 12.

Shelf

The shelf is the OnePlus take on widgets. It’ll allow your Oxygen OS 12 to display glance cards on your screen for quick information on weather, step counter, data, storage and more. You can also interact with them with a simple tap.

Redesigned Gallery app

OnePlus Gallery app on Oxygen OS 12 has been upgraded to offer intelligently curated photos in a pleasant dynamic layout. The feature looks similar to Google Photos highlights.

Canvas 2.0

OnePlus has added new customisation options to Canvas for Always-on Display with Oxygen OS 12. Previously with Oxygen OS 11, the feature would only allow users to set wireframe pictures based on the lock screen wallpaper of the phone. However, Canvas 2.0 will let you personalise your lock screen experience with inspiring visuals and portraits.

Private Safe

Another notable feature of Oxygen OS 12. It safely secures your data, including images, videos, audio, and documents, inside a virtual lockbox. This way your files will be isolated from other apps while remaining personally accessible to you.

These were among the noteworthy features of the Oxygen OS 12 update. In addition to this, the custom skin also comprises several Android 12 features, a system booster and Quantum Animation Engine 3.0 for faster and smoother performance, a Theme store, enhanced gaming modes, and OnePlus Watch integration.
