We were impressed with the OnePlus Pad 2 in our recent review, and we’re back with the news that it’s now receiving the OxygenOS 15 update. We can also confirm that it’s a stable build of the Android 15-based update and not a beta build. We’ve got the full changelog for you after the break.
The OxygenOS 15 update is rolling out in batches to OnePlus Pad 2 units in India, Europe, and Global regions first, with North American models gaining access from next week onwards. The update carries build number OPD2403_15.0.0.201(EX01) and comes in at around 2.5GB.
