OnePlus Pad 2 Receives Stable Android 15 Update
The OnePlus Pad 2 has become the first Android tablet to receive the stable Android 15 update, according to an announcement on OnePlus’s community forum. This rollout is now available in Europe, India, and other global markets, though North American users, including those in the US, will need to wait until later this week for the update.
Key Features of the Android 15-based OxygenOS 15 Update:
- Live Alerts: This feature mimics the functionality of Apple’s Dynamic Island, allowing users to view and interact with live activities through simple gestures, enhancing multitasking capabilities.
- Floating Window Gestures: New gestures let users manage apps in floating windows more efficiently. Dragging down on a notification opens the app in a floating window, and swiping gestures allow quick resizing, hiding, or closing of these windows.
- Redesigned Quick Settings and Notification Drawer: The update brings a more streamlined split-screen mode, offering easier access to key settings and notifications.
- Visual Improvements: Enhanced animations and icons provide a smoother, more consistent experience. Home screen icons now have natural proportions and refined colors, contributing to a polished overall look.
- Battery Management: A new Charging Limit feature caps charging at 80% to extend battery life, along with a reminder if the device remains connected to the charger for too long.
- Privacy Enhancements: The Private Safe feature now organizes images, videos, and documents, and hidden apps can be accessed via a dedicated Home screen entry protected by a privacy password.
Conclusion
This update underscores OnePlus Pad 2’s leadership in the Android tablet space, offering significant improvements in multitasking, privacy, and performance. With features like Live Alerts and Floating Window Gestures, the OnePlus Pad 2 maintains its competitiveness in the Android tablet market, with timely updates positioning it ahead of rivals like Google’s Pixel Tablet and Xiaomi’s Pad 7.
