Today, the company has 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.
As per the official post, older phones like the OnePlus 8 and the OnePlus 7 series will continue to be maintained and updated on the OxygenOS.
According to the OnePlus forum news, the early adopter version of ColorOS has been released for the OnePlus 8 today. The officials also stated that the OnePlus and OPPO accounts are temporarily not interoperable, and data or information cannot be shared.
It is worth mentioning that OPPO owns ColorOS. All OPPO smartphones have used ColorOS from the very beginning. Realme’s smartphones were also equipped with it, but now the company has moved to its own Realme UI.
The latest version is ColorOS 11, which is based on Android 11 and has many new and unique features.
The all-new OnePlus 9 series will be launched on March 23.
