When it comes to OnePlus’ changes in OxygenOS 13, the list is quite long, but we’ll mention some changes. It brings the so-called ‘Aquamorphic Design’ theme colors, while it also adds a shadow-reflective clock.
The Quantum Animation Engine has been pushed to version 4.0
The Quantum Animation Engine has been updated to version 4.0. UI has been optimized for a “clearer and neater” experience. The fonts have been better optimized for readability, and so have the system icons.
Large folders have been added to the home screen, while you now have more markup tools for screenshot editing. The Sidebar Toolbox has been added, and the OnePlus Shelf has been optimized.
Private Safe has been optimized, while the Dynamic Computing Engine has been thrown into the mix to “improve the system speed, stability, battery life, and app experience”. When it comes to gaming, OxygenOS 13 brings upgrades to HyperBoost GPA 4.0.
