TL;DR

  • OnePlus says that Oxygen OS 15 on its “next generation flagship phone” (i.e. OnePlus 13) is nearly 20% smaller than Oxygen OS 14 on the OnePlus 12.
  • The company announced during a briefing that this results in 5GB+ more storage space available to users.
  • It accomplished this by removing redundant features, reducing preloaded resources, and reducing the space needed for future Android versions.

TL;DR

  • The adaptive refresh rate (ARR) feature in Android 15 enables the display refresh rate to adapt to the frame rate of content.
  • The ARR feature reduces power consumption and jank as it lets devices operate at lower refresh rates without the need for mode switching.
  • While previous versions of Android supported multiple refresh rates, they did so by switching between discrete display modes.
