OnePlus has officially begun the rollout of its February 2026 software update , bringing the OxygenOS version B40P02 to a wide range of smartphones and tablets. The deployment kicked off on February 5, 2026 , and is proceeding in a staged manner. Users can expect the update to reach all eligible devices by approximately March 5 . As is standard with OTA updates, patience is key ; the notification will arrive incrementally rather than hitting every device simultaneously .

Technically identified as version B40P02 (build number BRB1EX01 for smartphones and BRB3EX01 for tablets), this release is more than just a security patch . It introduces significant refinements to the Photos app , expands the capabilities of the AI Writer , enhances Private Safe functionality , and bolsters overall system stability .

The most user-facing changes in this update focus on the Photos app , which has received a comprehensive suite of upgrades. Navigation is now more fluid, with smoother gesture animations when swiping through your gallery . Video enthusiasts will appreciate a robust set of new editing tools , including the ability to cut, split, and stitch multiple clips, as well as add music, text, and speed adjustments directly within the app . On the AI front, the AI Eraser has been fine-tuned to leave fewer digital artifacts behind when removing objects, resulting in cleaner edits . Similarly, the Remove Reflections tool is now more effective at eliminating glare from document scans and portraits of subjects wearing glasses .

Creativity gets a boost with a new “Popout” feature in the Collage mode , allowing subjects to overlay the frame for a dynamic, layered look. Organization has also been streamlined , 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 . Users on OxygenOS 16 with supported hardware will also notice faster thumbnail parsing, making gallery browsing significantly snappier .

Productivity features have also been expanded . The AI Writer—exclusive to OxygenOS 16 on select devices—now boasts a versatile “Write anything” option . 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 .

For privacy-conscious users running OxygenOS 14 or higher, the Private Safe has been optimized for better workflow . 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 . Under the hood, the update applies general stability fixes to ensure a smoother daily experience .
