It may be time to breathe a sigh of relief for OnePlus fans who in recent months had been inundated with increasingly insistent rumors that spoke of the imminent birth of a single operating system for OnePlus and OPPO (which could have been called H 2 OOS ).
However, based on Android. In fact, with a press release issued a few minutes ago, Pete Lau, co-founder of OnePlus, declared that OxygenOS and ColorOS will coexist while sharing a common basis.
In September, OnePlus announced the birth of a unified code between OxygenOS and ColorOS, in order to create a single operating system, globally, for both brands.
Community feedback messes up OnePlus and OPPO’s original plans
It is now official that OxygenOS and ColorOS will continue to coexist but will be developed on the same base code to ensure faster updates and better quality.
To bring the two brands back “on the right path” the community thought about it through numerous feedbacks, showing OnePlus and OPPO the desire that the two operating systems remain separate, each maintaining its own distinctive characteristics.
Below, are the words of Pete Lau, directly from the post on the official OnePlus blog:
Our software philosophy for OxygenOS has always been to offer users a light and clean experience, similar to that of stock Android and geared towards global use. With the OxygenOS 13, we want to offer an experience that old-fashioned OnePlus users will feel at home with, ensuring that it retains the hallmarks of the OxygenOS, such as a fast and fluid experience, lightweight design and ease of use. OxygenOS 13 will retain its unique look and feel, as well as a range of exclusive customization features.
In short: with the OxygenOS 13, which we will see later in 2022, OnePlus aims to win back its long-time fans of OnePlus. Could this be the right time?
