Hello UI vs OxygenOS 15 (both on A15)
On the left: Hello UI
On the right- OxygenOS 15
1. About Phone screen
2. Settings page
OxygenOS 15's icon colour can be changed while Hello UI uses a stock Android approach.
3. Personalisation & customisation sections
Both are equally well done and look aesthetically pleasing.
4. Opened folder layout and design
Seems like icons in Hello UI are more approachable. OxygenOS has a better folder opening animation.
5. Launcher quick shortcuts
Hello UI lets you quickly change themes and fonts from this menu itself.
6. App Drawer
A significant difference. Both are in White mode.
Hello UI uses the traditional stock Android white app drawer while OxygenOS goes for blur.
7. Widget selection menu
OxygenOS looks outdated and has no search bar or collapsing menus for widgets.
Hello UI is objectively better.

8. Recents app page
Hello UI has a button to capture screenshot of the displayed app but the buttons are awkwardly placed.
OxygenOS displays the icons of the last 4 opened apps for quickly opening them without scrolling.
9. Recent apps menu
Both offer all the necessary options. OxygenOS' way of displaying the menu looks better.
10. Classic quick settings panel
Both offer blur and allow changing toggle colours. OxygenOS offers a volume slider.
11. Split quick settings panel
OxygenOS has bouncy animation when pulling down the tray, better visual feedback when pressing toggles, and slider scrolling haptics.
Hello UI preserves some origin
12. Volume sliders
Top images: Individual media control
Bottom images: Expanded media control
Both are extremely well done. A visual treat for blur lovers!
Flaws here are that Hello UI has very small 'Done' and 'Settings' buttons while OOS covers whole screen when expanded.

13. Sidebar
OOS gets an edge for having options like File Dock and Recent Files which you can use to access and drop images in.
Both allow adding key shortcuts in sidebar.
14. Camera interface
The Camera UI on Hello UI adapts to the device's colour theme.
OxygenOS only has orange accents for Hasselblad-based phones and yellow accents for non-Hasselblad phones.
OOS camera is smoother to operate while Hello UI sometimes has jankiness.
15. Camera settings page
OxygenOS is always in dark mode here while Hello UI changes based on the device theme and also applies Monet theming.
16. Software update page
Clearly OxygenOS looks better here with other options stuffed in the 3-dot menu.
However, Hello UI has an advantage of showing 'Update history' information.
17. Lockscreen with Media player
Hello UI's media player is leagues ahead. It displays notification with a complete opaque background and also has app icon indicators at bottom.
OxygenOS, as always has blur for media player and notifications.

Final thoughts -
Hello UI:
- Major design uplift from MyUX
- Fairly welcoming to use and upto 2025 standards
- Adds tons of blur elements in many areas
- Quick and snappy, but not necessarily fluid
- Still feels and operates like stock Android
- Excellent lockscreen personalisation, although requires more clock styles
- Gets you all necessary features - sidebar, game manager, Moto gestures, icon shapes, colour theming
- Reliable floating windows but need polishing
- Lacks key first-party apps such as Gallery
- Lacks visual & haptic feedback
- No longer shows Screen On Time in Android 15
OxygenOS 15:
- Mostly same design as previous versions but packs several OG OxygenOS elements
- Silky smooth and fluid
- Immaculately designed with good attention to details
- Has blur going for it almost everywhere except apps
- Preserves most Android elements like Monet theming and SOT
- Doesn't feel anything like stock Android
- Good lockscreen customisation visually but doesn't focus on functionality
- Best-in-class homescreen icon customisation including changing shapes and icon pack support
- Has first-party apps for Gallery and Clock providing a cohesive experience
- Immense focus on multitasking with Open Canvas and smooth gestures for controlling floating windows
- Several outdated elements such as media player and widget selection menu
- Excellent vibration haptic feedback integration

Moto Hello UI lockscreen - too goood.
Comes with various customisation options, although limited.
✅ Change clock style & colour
✅ Several app icon indicator options
✅ Add static widgets
✅ Stock Android media player 👌🏻
✅ Peek display for interacting with notifications and controlling music without unlocking phone
Hello UI destroys HyperOS & OxygenOS in terms of practicality of the lockscreen.
However, if you're looking for cool transitions and wallpaper depth effects, Hello UI won't provide that at least on Android 14.

A 20K Hello UI phone is very similar to a 60K Hello UI phone in terms of blur and transitions.
On the other hand, OnePlus does partiality. A 20K phone with OxygenOS 15 is inferior to a 60K phone in all aspects.
Hello UI is clearly better in this regard.
