OnePlus now uses ColorOS on its smartphones in China. Even in global markets, the company has started shipping the same software but continues to call it OxygenOS. Earlier this year, the brand announced that its older flagship phones will be upgraded to ColorOS in its home country. These devices are scheduled to receive the update in 2022. Ahead of that, the firm has now shared a rough timeline for Open Beta and Stable releases.
According to an official announcement post on OnePlus Community China, all the OnePlus flagship smartphones released in China in the last two years will be updated to ColorOS by the end of 2022.
OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro, and OnePlus 8T will be the first to receive the ColorOS Open Beta update in early 2022. The ColorOS Stable update for these handsets will be released in the first half of 2022.
On the other hand, the ColorOS Open Beta update for OnePlus 7, OnePlus 7 Pro, OnePlus 7T, and OnePlus 7T Pro will be delivered in mid-2022. Whereas, the ColorOS Stable update will be made available in the second half of 2022.
OnePlus previously said that it could not upgrade these phones sooner because of various bugs. Hopefully, the company does not roll out a broken software next year.
Having said that, OnePlus does not mention the version of ColorOS these handsets will be receiving. Anyway, we believe that they will most likely get the upcoming ColorOS 12 based on Android 12.
