OnePlus had back in June 2021 announced a deeper integration with OPPO along with plans to develop a unified operating system that will power offerings from both. Following this, HydrogenOS was ditched in China in favor of ColorOS and OxygenOS became nothing but a rebranded ColorOS.
But OnePlus has not settled just yet and recently announced the launch of a unified OS. A new report has now revealed some additional information about it.
While the official announcement stated that the unified and upgraded global operating system will be launched sometime in 2022, tipster Yogesh Brar (via MySmartPrice) says that it will be during the second half of the year. The OS, which is reportedly still in its early development phase, has also been revealed to launch alongside the OnePlus flagship handset.
Some may think that the handset in question is the OnePlus 10 Pro, but the device has already been launched in China running ColorOS 12.1, so that’s out of the question.
Yogesh further revealed that the unified OS will be based on Android 13. This is quite reasonable considering an H2 2022 launch date sits well with Android 13’s expected release date.
Some rumors have suggested that the upcoming OnePlus unified operating system could be called H2OOS, although that’s yet to be confirmed officially. Not much is known about it at the moment but an official infographic from last year had revealed that it combines the best bits of ColorOS and OxygenOS.
