The OnePlus 15 has been on the market for only a few weeks, and the company is already pushing its second major software update to enhance real-world usability. The latest OxygenOS 16.0.1.305 update (build CPH2745_16.0.1.305(EX01)) is now rolling out in India and introduces meaningful upgrades across system stability, camera performance, network optimization tools, and overall user experience. The update is being released in batches, meaning only a limited number of users will receive it today, with a broader rollout planned in the coming days.

OnePlus 15 OxygenOS 16.0.1.305 official changelog
OxygenOS 16.0.1.305 is designed to refine several areas of functionality on the OnePlus 15. While the update content may vary by region, Indian users are currently the first to receive this release. Key improvements include smoother feature activation, a faster and more accurate camera experience, better heat management, and a redesigned AI LinkBoost Network Engine interface.
One of the standout refinements in this build is the enhanced activation of Circle to Search. Users relying on gesture navigation can now access the feature even when the gesture guide bar is hidden. A long press on the area where the bar normally appears will still trigger Circle to Search, making the feature easier and more consistent to use.
The camera on the OnePlus 15 receives significant attention in this update. The app now launches faster, making photography more responsive across different scenarios. OnePlus has also addressed issues involving inaccurate color reproduction in specific lighting conditions. Photo color inaccuracies and incorrect video color output captured on cloudy days have now been resolved, ensuring more reliable visual results.
The update includes important system optimizations aimed at improving stability and user confidence. The face unlock system has been fine-tuned to increase its success rate. Additionally, OnePlus has enhanced the device’s thermal management to handle overheating more effectively in certain conditions. Users should also notice smoother day-to-day performance, as general system stability has been improved.
Network performance receives one of the most notable upgrades in OxygenOS 16.0.1.305. The AI LinkBoost Network Engine has been redesigned with an interface that displays the number of network optimizations made and the amount of lag time reduced during operation.
Users will now receive real-time notifications whenever network acceleration activates under weak network conditions. The device can also test network speeds directly, offering details such as latency, upload speed, and download speed.
As with most OnePlus OTA releases, OxygenOS 16.0.1.305 is being pushed out in stages. A limited group of users will get the update first, followed by a wider distribution afterward. OnePlus encourages users to share feedback or report bugs through the OnePlus Community app under the Bug Report section. Users can also dial *#800# to access the built-in feedback tool.
The latest OxygenOS update for the OnePlus 15 brings a thoughtful mix of refinements that directly address user-reported concerns. From camera fixes and smoother gestures to improved stability and a more transparent network optimization engine, OxygenOS 16.0.1.305 is set to enhance the overall experience for early adopters. As the rollout continues, more users in India will soon benefit from these improvements.
