It’s been over a decade now since OnePlus first burst onto the smartphone scene with a plan to do issues just a little bit in a different way. We’ve come a good distance from these early days the place you’d want an invitation code to even purchase a OnePlus cellphone, and the corporate’s new OnePlus 13 flagship is definitely its best-executed handset so far. Despite the fact that it solely simply debuted, the cellphone’s already been receiving some main updates, just like the assist we simply noticed it get for Google’s on-board Gemini Nano mannequin. Not content material to relaxation on its laurels, the corporate is already pushing out one other replace, full of enhancements of its personal.
This week, OnePlus has began seeding its OxygenOS 15.0.0.405 replace to the OnePlus 13 in markets across the globe. And whereas that features a few little stability and efficiency tweaks, the extra impactful adjustments right here concern digicam efficiency and AI options.
With AI, we’re speaking particularly about translation, and this replace delivers some new performance that feels like it’s going to significantly enhance the consumer expertise. Right here’s what the changelog stories:

On the digicam facet, you may look ahead to some zoom refinements and extra correct shade sampling:
- Improves the colours in images taken with Grasp mode.
- Improves the tone of images taken with the rear digicam in Photograph mode and improves the zoom perform.

That feels like barely much less of an improve than the language instruments, however we’ll need to do a before-and-after on the colour enhancements earlier than we will actually say simply how excited you ought to be.
OnePlus says this replace is headed out to the OnePlus 13 in batches, so in the event you haven’t seen it hit your cellphone simply but, simply wait just a little longer — it needs to be accessible by way of an OTA notification earlier than you understand it.
