News & Reviews:   oxygenos

2025 is the year of AI-powered smartphone UIs. More brands are integrating AI features into their devices, and OnePlus is no different. Recently, the company launched the latest version of OxygenOS - OxygenOS 16. This new version has a heavier focus on AI, while promising a smoother user experience.

In March, OnePlus announced it would release a new flagship foldable device in Q3 2023. And now that it's July, some news has leaked through the cracks. For instance, we now have a name for the device and possibly the UI details.

OnePlus has recently withdrawn the rollout of its latest OxygenOS 13 update after the firmware upgrade caused bricking issues on several OnePlus 9 series devices. The update, which is based on Android 13 was released in December 2022 and a OnePlus software team member on its community forum has advised users to not install the update.

If you’re a fan of OnePlus or have used its smartphones in the past, then you must be familiar with its custom Android OS, OxygenOS. Well, if you got opinions regarding the OS and would like to share it with the Chinese tech company, then now’s your chance to do so as OnePlus has just launched an open survey regarding OxygenOS.

Yup, you read the headline title right - the next OnePlus device (which isn't the OnePlus 9T series) won't be using OxygenOS purely but merging with OPPO's ColorOS. This was confirmed in an interview between The Verge and OnePlus CEO Pete Lau recently. But what does that mean for the future of OxygenOS?

By now, most OnePlus and OPPO fans have already taken note of the merging between the two tech brands. Each company is still working independently, but some of us wondered if the operating system could appear on each other's device. Well, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has the answer.

For many OnePlus fans, updating to the beta of OxygenOS 11 was too risky for their taste. But if you are eager to try the new Android 11 features, you won't have to hold back for much longer. OnePlus has confirmed that a stable version of OxygenOS 11 will be rolling out for the OnePlus 8 series soon.

Previously, we reported that the upcoming OnePlus 8T might not have a pro variant and depends on your view, it could be a good thing since the OnePlus Nord was released not too long ago. Now in this new report by XDA Developers, they spotted a new code inside the OxygenOS 11 beta program and it's hinting that there could be an 8K@960FPS video recording mode update soon.

Recently, OnePlus launched the OnePlus Nord which is equipped with notable tech specs such as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset and up to 12GB RAM, starting from the price of RM1799. While the smartphone offers amazing value for money when it comes to the tech specs, the OxygenOS is what makes the OnePlus Nord really stand out. Let's have a closer look at the functionality the operating system provides.

So the OnePlus 8 series is finally revealed last night and there were a couple of things OnePlus showcased. One of them was announcing new features coming up on their upcoming OxygenOS patch, which includes a dark-themed user interface, some dynamic wallpapers, Smooth Battle 2.0, and many more. Without further ado, let's check it out.
