They called him Unified OS. This was the name that some colleagues wanted to give to the unified operating system that OnePlus was working on. We use the verb in the past tense since, apparently, these are no longer projects. To announce it it's the same Pete Lau on the official community via a dedicated thread. One thing that perhaps we already knew from the beginning, considering that there were traces of the OxygenOS 13. But let's go see the details of the news.
After all, we knew it: OnePlus will not abandon OxygenOS 13 and therefore will not continue the project for a unified operating system with Oppo
Chinese manufacturer OnePlus announced on Monday, March 28 that it had given up making a unified operating system derived from OxygenOS and ColorOS based on Android 13. This means that it is focusing its efforts only on OxygenOS. Specifically, OxygenOS 13 that we talked about earlier. In recent months, OnePlus has had to deal with many criticisms by its trusted users due to its operating system. The manufacturer then has merged its code base with ColorOS. And hence the decline.
The move came to try to provide faster updates to the Android skin. However, with this "commercial alliance", OnePlus also lost one of its differentiators, which was a clean and well optimized software for the hardware it offered. In its statement, OnePlus stated that OxygenOS and ColorOS will continue to be developed on the same code base, to enable faster updates and better software build quality. However, no unified OS.
The company noted that both systems will continue to be owned by independent brands.
