OnePlus has already delivered OxygenOS 15-based on Android 15 to a couple of its flagships, but there are still a lot of high-end OnePlus phones that haven’t yet received the highly-anticipated update.
If you’re one of the many customers who bought one of OnePlus’s mid-range phones instead, specifically the Nord CE4 Lite, then you’re in luck. The Chinese handset maker has just announced that it’s now rolling out OxygenOS 15 to the OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite 5G.
For the time being, the update is only available in India, but it’s probably safe to assume that OxygenOS 15 for OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite will be available in other regions soon, despite the fact that the company did not confirm anything about it yet.
If you’re running a OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite as your daily driver and live in India, you should be notified about the OxygenOS 15 update this week. The new firmware version CPH2619_15.0.0.303(EX01) includes the following new features and improvements:
Visual effects
The Home screen is revamped with newly designed icons, presenting a fresh look with balanced proportions and enhanced colors for fuller and sharper visuals.
Numerous system function icons are overhauled for improved visual uniformity throughout the system.
The rounded corner design is enhanced for uniformity and continuous curvature is applied throughout the system.
Themes
The new flux themes feature a vast array of high-quality themes, allowing customization with system wallpapers and personal photos for a personalized touch.
Live Alerts
The new Live Alerts design is concentrated on efficient information visualization, positioned centrally for a balanced and streamlined display.

The new globally reversible photo editing capability saves previous edit settings for seamless subsequent edits, ensuring uninterrupted creative flow.

The resizable Split View windows allow you to drag the divider or tap the window for a more extensive display area.
Notifications & Quick Settings
