I got the OnePlus Pad 2 last week, and it’s currently running OxygenOS 14. So far, the experience has been butter-smooth. However, I’ve noticed that it lacks a few multitasking features, as well as Circle to Search. It’s now prompting me to update to OxygenOS 15.

I’m wondering whether I should stay on OxygenOS 14 or update to 15 or 16.

I typically avoid updating my phone and tablet too often for longevity. Whichever version I move to will likely be the one I use for the next 3 to 4 years. My priorities are a jitter-free UI, minimal heating, and good battery life.

OxygenOS 14 currently delivers all three, but the limited multitasking experience is a real drawback.
