OnePlus ๐ฑ has officially begun the rollout of its February 2026 software update ๐, bringing the OxygenOS version B40P02 to a wide range of smartphones and tablets. The deployment kicked off on February 5, 2026 ๐๏ธ, and is proceeding in a staged manner. Users can expect the update to reach all eligible devices by approximately March 5 โณ. As is standard with OTA updates, patience is key ๐งโโ๏ธ; the notification will arrive incrementally rather than hitting every device simultaneously ๐.
Technically identified as version B40P02 (build number BRB1EX01 for smartphones and BRB3EX01 for tablets), this release is more than just a security patch ๐ก๏ธ. It introduces significant refinements to the Photos app ๐ธ, expands the capabilities of the AI Writer โ๏ธ, enhances Private Safe functionality ๐, and bolsters overall system stability โ๏ธ.
The most user-facing changes in this update focus on the Photos app ๐ผ๏ธ, which has received a comprehensive suite of upgrades. Navigation is now more fluid, with smoother gesture animations when swiping through your gallery ๐. Video enthusiasts will appreciate a robust set of new editing tools ๐ฌ, including the ability to cut, split, and stitch multiple clips, as well as add music, text, and speed adjustments directly within the app ๐ต. On the AI front, the AI Eraser has been fine-tuned ๐ค to leave fewer digital artifacts behind when removing objects, resulting in cleaner edits โจ. Similarly, the Remove Reflections tool is now more effective at eliminating glare from document scans and portraits of subjects wearing glasses ๐.
Creativity gets a boost with a new โPopoutโ feature in the Collage mode ๐จ, allowing subjects to overlay the frame for a dynamic, layered look. Organization has also been streamlined ๐, with filters now supporting Motion Photos, screenshots, and screen recordings to help users sort content easily. Furthermore, a new Auto Straighten tool helps salvage tilted shots of landscapes or architecture during the cropping process ๐. Users on OxygenOS 16 with supported hardware will also notice faster thumbnail parsing, making gallery browsing significantly snappier โก.
Productivity features have also been expanded ๐ผ. The AI Writerโexclusive to OxygenOS 16 on select devicesโnow boasts a versatile โWrite anythingโ option ๐. This allows users to generate a variety of text formats, from formal business proposals and job descriptions to video scripts and personal letters, simply by prompting the AI ๐คโ๏ธ.
For privacy-conscious users running OxygenOS 14 or higher, the Private Safe has been optimized for better workflow ๐. Adding files to the safe is faster, and notably, users can now edit photos and videos directly within the secure environment without needing to unlock or export them first ๐ก๏ธ. Under the hood, the update applies general stability fixes to ensure a smoother daily experience ๐ ๏ธ.
