While the merger between OPPO and OnePlus was to materialize with a unified overlay of the software interface, OnePlus officially announces that it is working on OxygenOS 13.
A new operating system that shouldn’t exist, and yet.
OxygenOS 13 announced
The end of OxygenOS is not for now. In the continuity of the merger between OPPO and OnePlus, the two firms had announced that they were working together to develop a unified overlay for their smartphones. This merger of the two software interfaces is expected for the end of 2022, but it will obviously still be waiting. While OxygenOS 13 is not supposed to exist, OnePlus has opened a new topic about it on its official forum.
The Chinese brand will indeed organize an “Open Ears” session around the next version of its operating system on February 28. Planned online, it will welcome several people responsible for the creation of OxygenOS 13 who will come to exchange with a restricted group of users. ” If you are interested in OxygenOS 13, join us, and let’s create a perfect OxygenOS for OnePlus together. “, specifies the brand in its message accompanying the announcement.
A delay for the unified overlay?
This announcement sows confusion, given the common objectives displayed by OPPO and OnePlus. The unified overlay was supposed to land in the second half of 2022, but could be delayed, as some rumors point out. This version would therefore not be ready in time for the arrival of Android 13, on which it is based. He too is expected for the second half of the year.
According to information fromAndroid Authoritythis unified OS should nevertheless make its debut on a flagship OnePlus flagship. It will not be the OnePlus 10 Pro, released in China under ColorOS at the beginning of the year, which would rely on OxygenOS during its European launch, according to several leaks. If the hypothesis of a “T” version to inaugurate this union is not to be excluded, it will most certainly be necessary, to find out more, to wait until spring, the season in which the brand presents its new encrypted series.
In its early days, OnePlus only offered one smartphone at a time. Since then, the Chinese brand has come a long way, to offer a much wider range of phones. Today headed by the Oppo brand with which it shares its research and development activities, OnePlus still proclaims its independence loud and clear.
