ColorOS 15.0.0.840 Rolls Out to OnePlus 13: Packed With Smarter AI and Camera Upgrades
OnePlus has officially begun rolling out the ColorOS 15.0.0.840 update for its flagship OnePlus 13 in China. This software update brings a robust mix of camera improvements, new AI-powered tools, smarter system interactions, and enhanced voice assistant capabilities — all designed to elevate user experience.
Here’s a complete look at what’s new in this feature-rich firmware upgrade.
New Camera Features: Soft Light Filters for Better Night and Photo Shots
One of the headline upgrades in this update is the soft light filter support in both Night and Photo modes. This enhancement gives photos a smooth, glowing finish — especially useful for low-light environments where harsh lighting can ruin ambiance.
With this feature, users can create more cinematic, visually pleasing shots directly from the native camera app, eliminating the need for third-party editing.
Gallery App Gets AI-Powered Editing Tools
Smart Story & Best Expression
The Gallery app now includes two impressive AI-powered tools:
-
Smart Story: Automatically selects the best photos, edits them for lighting and color, and compiles them into a visually engaging format.
-
Best Expression: Analyses group photos and intelligently replaces facial expressions to ensure every person looks their best in the final shot.
These AI tools reduce manual editing time while helping users effortlessly create perfect memories.
Breeno Assistant Just Got Smarter
The Breeno Assistant in ColorOS gets major improvements tailored for productivity and convenience:
-
Voice-Activated Meal Reordering: Now works with platforms like Meituan and Ele.me.
-
New Home Screen Card: Offers quicker access to Breeno functions.
-
Event Reminders: Supports ticket alerts for Damai event purchases, China’s largest ticketing site.
Improved Screen Recognition
Breeno’s Screen Recognition now offers better image extraction, and gesture activation is limited to a two-finger press to reduce accidental triggers.
Real-Time AI Call Translation Now Available
Perhaps one of the most groundbreaking features is the AI call translation. This tool enables real-time bilingual call translations — available both as voice playback or on-screen text. It can be activated via the Phone app > AI Call Assistant settings.
This is especially useful for international users or business travelers needing seamless communication across languages.
In-Car Display & Audio: CarLife Integration and LE Audio Boost
CarLife Upgrades
The in-car screen casting feature now includes:
-
Resolution and frame rate controls
-
Gaussian blur effect
-
Refresh rate limiter for smoother display transitions
LE Audio Enhancements
Bluetooth pairing with LE Audio has been optimized to reduce audio latency, particularly useful during mobile gaming and media consumption.
Productivity Boost: Multi-Screen Touch and Notification Controls
The update also introduces various UI and multitasking enhancements:
-
Multi-screen touch support
-
Temporary mute for banner notifications
-
Widget stacking for better home screen organization
-
Improved mini window movement to make multitasking seamless
Security Patch and System Stability
The July 2025 Android security patch is bundled with this update, enhancing system protection and patching known vulnerabilities.
Important Note: This Update Is for the Chinese Variant
It’s worth noting that this update applies only to the Chinese version of the OnePlus 13, which runs on ColorOS. The global variant operates on OxygenOS, and any similar updates will roll out on a separate schedule.
A Solid Update Focused on Intelligence and Everyday Usability
The ColorOS 15.0.0.840 update for the OnePlus 13 isn’t just about polishing the interface — it’s about real, useful functionality that improves how users take photos, communicate, and multitask. The combination of AI-driven features, camera upgrades, and real-time voice translation positions the OnePlus 13 as a smarter and more capable Android flagship.
If you’re a OnePlus 13 user in China, this is a must-have update. If you’re waiting for the global rollout, stay tuned — features like these could soon make their way to the OxygenOS version as well.
