OnePlus has started rolling out the OxygenOS 16.0.9.400 update for the OnePlus 15 (review) in India, and this one brings more than just minor fixes. The update adds new fingerprint animation styles, smoother multitasking, fresh camera filters, gaming audio tweaks and a few useful quality-of-life features, making it one of the more feature-packed OxygenOS updates for the device so far. Let’s take a detailed look at it below.

OnePlus has also added two new camera filters: Primrose, which aims for warm, film-like portraits, and Bold B&W, which is designed for dramatic black-and-white photography.
For gaming, the update brings an equaliser inside Game Assistant so users can fine-tune game audio more precisely. It can be accessed via Game Assistant > Tools > Sound Boost > Equaliser. OnePlus has also improved Sound Boost so it works with more games and can emphasise effects like footsteps or vocals more clearly.
The update also adds remote PC lock support, letting users lock and unlock their PC from the phone after connecting remotely. It also introduces a backup face option for device unlock, which should help if glasses or makeup interfere with regular face recognition.
OnePlus says the update includes the July 2026 Android security patch as part of the rollout. Since this is a staged release, only a small percentage of users are getting it first, with a wider rollout planned in the coming days. Some users are also reporting dual eSIM support with this update, which would make it an even more useful upgrade for people who rely on multiple cellular profiles.
As the company’s newest flagship, it makes sense that the OnePlus 15 is getting the update first. Since this is an OxygenOS 16-based rollout, other compatible phones (check out the entire list of supported devices) should follow in the coming weeks. That includes the OnePlus 15R, OnePlus 13 series, OnePlus 12 series, OnePlus 11 series, Nord 6 series, Nord 5 series, Nord 4 series and more supported devices.
This update is not a major OxygenOS overhaul, but it does bring a good mix of useful additions for OnePlus 15 users. If you want the latest security patch and dual eSIM support, this is a good update to install. If you prefer to be cautious, you can wait a few days because the rollout is still staged.
The update adds new camera filters, smoother app and multitasking animations, gaming audio improvements, remote PC lock support and backup face unlock, along with the July 2026 Android security patch.
Some users are also reporting dual eSIM support, which is a more substantial upgrade. It brings the OnePlus 15 in line with other high-end phones that let users juggle physical and eSIM profiles. This is particularly useful in markets like India where people often run separate personal and work numbers or switch between operators.
