Today, OnePlus officially confirmed that the OnePlus 9 series will adopt ColorOS instead of OxygenOS, which OnePlus has been using since the beginning of its smartphone manufacturing.
According to the official announcement, older phones like the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 7 series will continue to receive maintenance and updates on OxygenOS.
According to reports on the OnePlus Forum, an early experience version of ColorOS was launched today for OnePlus 8 users. The official statement also noted that OnePlus and OPPO accounts currently do not support interoperability, and data or information cannot be shared.
It is worth mentioning that OPPO owns ColorOS. Since the brand’s inception, all OPPO smartphones have run on ColorOS. Realme smartphones also previously used this system, but now the company has moved to its own Realme UI.
The latest version is ColorOS 11, developed on Android 11, and has many new and unique features.
The OnePlus 9 series will be launched on March 23.
