OnePlus has officially announced that the next major software update, Oxygenos 16, will arrive in India on October 16, 2025, only one day after Oppo Coloros 16 unveiled in China. The update is expected to bring a series of new functions, including a unique approach to live sports tracking that could appeal to fans throughout the country.
A dynamic function for sports fans?
According to messages from Android authorityOnePlus may introduce a function that is inspired by Apple's 'Dynamic Island' on iPhones. The proposed functionality can offer a small, interactive area at the top of the screen, designed to display live results of current sporting events. Users could follow games in real time without opening special apps or trusting widgets, making it a useful tool for sports enthusiasts.
On iOS devices, Dynamic Island has made similar interactions possible since iOS 16.1, including the possibility to expand the function for a detailed scoreboard by pressing for a long time. If implemented, the adjustment of OnePlus could significantly improve the user experience by keeping notifications unobtrusive yet informative.

- OnePlus 13, 13R, 13S

This update in particular marks the latest software upgrade for the Nord CE 4, Nord CE 4 Lite and OnePlus Nord 3, in line with the company's two to three-year support policy.

Fans can look forward to a more intuitive experience that combines advanced software options with a user -friendly design.
Oxygenos 16 could mean a significant step forward in both functionality and user involvement for OnePlus devices, especially for those who want to remain connected with live sports and AI-controlled functions.
