OnePlus has dropped its latest software feature, which might be one for fans of mobile devices that can integrate better with their Windows laptops or desktops. It also allows the user to access files on their PCs right from their hand-held screen. The brand's premium new Pad 3 tablet is now eligible for the upgrade, as is a number of OnePlus' current and former flagship smartphones.

The OnePlus Pad 3 launched just a few weeks ago in June 2025, yet its software is being upgraded already. Its new version of the brand's popular OxygenOS skin for Android is rated to allow an owner to use its generationally enlarged 13.2-inch 144Hz display as a "remote control" for their Windows PC.

The new feature found in OxygenOS 15.0.1.500 for the Pad 3 augments a Connect to Mac tool found in earlier OnePlus changelogs.

The augmented cross-platform functionality is also now available for the OnePlus 13, 13R and 13s - not to mention their respective forebears the 12, 12R and 11R (yet not the 11 for some reason). 

The feature is also included in the new OxygenOS 15.0.0.830 for OnePlus' Open

It has only been released to units of the foldable smartphone sold in India thus far, however, which is also the case for the 13R, 12 and 12R, as it is for the 11R and 13s that are exclusive to that market.

The global and EU variants of the 13 are in line for this update, however, meaning that Remote Control for Windows PC might go global for more of the devices as above soon.
