News & Reviews:   Hydrogen OS

Last week, OnePlus announced that it will be looking to release the new version of HydrogenOS on 10 August 2020. Well, HydrogenOS 11 is now officially in China and it brings new features to OnePlus devices. Included in the bunch are the always-on display mode, an improved dark mode, and more.

OnePlus has always been one of the forerunners when it comes to Android implementation. Not long after Android 11 beta was released, OnePlus got in quickly and started testing it. While Android 11 isn't going to be officially released till 8 September 2020, OnePlus is already looking to unveil its latest Hydrogen OS 11.

A report online stated that OnePlus is set to combine their two branches into a single OS for faster and better OS development for their customers. Oxygen OS – used in OnePlus devices in the general market – and Hydrogen OS – used in OnePlus devices in the China market – is set to combine together in the near future. Will this news hold water?
