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?

It's a tradition for OnePlus to launch its flagship series early in a year and an upgraded version of the devices later. Last year, the company skipped the 8T Pro and introduced only an 8T instead. In 2021, CEO Pete Lau has confirmed that there will be no 9T coming out. Therefore, for those who are waiting for the device, you might now go with the OnePlus 9.

Here’s a list of the top 5 things smartphone manufacturers should be doing or features they should include in future products.

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.

Some of you may have heard about it and it's true, OnePlus will merge its business with OPPO together but not as what you think it is. In fact, the brands will still work independently and the reason for it is more about better operations for their products.

Xiaomi users have been complaining about MIUI takes up the RAM of the devices. For that, the company might be offering a fix soon by utilizing virtual expansion. It is said that Xiaomi devices' RAM could be expanded using internal storage when it reaches its limit in the future. 

Fast charging technology is becoming somewhat a norm on Android phones, but we are about to go faster. If you are an OPPO, OnePlus and realme user, you'd be happy to know that some new phone models with 125W fast charging are launching in the second half of 2021.

OnePlus Malaysia has officially announced that they will be hosting the ‘Sembang-lah! OnePlus’ talk show, which will be held on 18 March 2021 from 12PM onwards. The talk show will be broadcasted on platforms such as OnePlus Malaysia’s official social media accounts, as well as on OnePlus’ official Flagship store on Lazada.

Based on a statement by letsgodigital, it seems that OnePlus might be working on a smartphone that’s equipped with an in-bezel front-facing selfie camera. While not much is known in regards to which smartphone will actually come with the aforementioned feature, it does give us a better idea on what to expect when it is officially available in the local market.

After leaving OnePlus, the co-founder has found himself another probably-going-to-be huge thing that he can focus on to continue his journey in the industry. Last month, Carl Pei has announced the name of his new startup and it's called Nothing. At that time, he didn't mention anything about the products that the brand will be making, but now it has been revealed that the first product will be a pair of wireless earbuds.
