OnePlus and Oppo merge OxygenOS with ColorOS
5.7.2021
Translation: Jessica Johnson-Ferguson
The organisational merger of OnePlus and Oppo is showing first effects. The two Android versions of both brands are to become one. Visually, nothing should change for users. And the brand has promised extended updates.
We believe that OxygenOS will continue to offer the best Android experience possible for you.
While the existing user interfaces will remain unchanged externally, more development resources will be available internally as a result of the merger.
Extended update promise
Shorter periods apply for the cheaper OnePlus models. OnePlus North and North CE are to receive two major Android updates and three annual security updates. For the Nord N series starting with the N10 and N100, there will be just one major Android update but three annual security updates.
Two brands, one group
Although OnePlus has the image of a small start-up company, it has always belonged to BBK Electronics – just like Oppo and, for that matter, Vivo and Realme. In June 2021, OnePlus announced that the two brands would be merged internally, but would remain separate externally.
