While most OnePlus telephones had been made out there globally earlier than “reaching” China, that wasn’t the case with the OnePlus 10 Pro, which has up to now been China-exclusive since its early January launch. That’s about to vary, as the corporate introduced at MWC that its newest flagship cellphone will lastly be headed to the US, Europe and India “by the end of March.”

But what’s extra attention-grabbing is that OnePlus seems to have reversed its resolution — at the least for now — to share a unified OS with Oppo.

In the case of the worldwide OnePlus 10 Pro, it is going to launch with OxygenOS 12.1 however will quickly obtain the OxygenOS 13 replace. No phrase on the mannequin after that, although, apart from the truth that it’s going to launch with Oppo’s upcoming 150W SuperVOOC quick charging a while in Q2 2022.

OnePlus careworn that each OxygenOS and ColorOS already share a “clean and lightweight” unified OS codebase, with the primary differentiation being the “lighter” inventory Android expertise on the previous to cater to world customers. That mentioned, the corporate acknowledged that some customers weren’t happy with OxygenOS 12, to not point out the OnePlus 9 rollout which was so buggy that it needed to be briefly suspended. OnePlus must show itself worthy with OxygenOS 13.
