The OnePlus 10 Pro made its global debut in China in January. It is the first-ever OnePlus Pro series phone to release first in the brand’s home country. Also, it is the first handset to ship with ColorOS 12.1 Two months later, one of the company executives reveals when the last-generation OnePlus flagship smartphones will get an update to the fresh version of ColorOS.
Liu Fengshuo, the president of the OnePlus product lineup, revealed on Weibo that the last year’s OnePlus 9 and Oneplus 9 Pro will be soon updated to ColorOS 12.1. According to him, these devices are expected to receive the latest version of OPPO’s mobile operating system based on Android 12 by the end of March.
Per his post, the update is still in progress. Hence, if there are any issues with the software builds, then the rollout could get delayed. Hopefully, that doesn’t happen though OnePlus is known for software mishaps these days.
With that being said, the ColorOS 12.1 update for the OnePlus 9 and the OnePlus 9 Pro will be limited to China. Because it is the only country where these phones run ColorOS instead of OxygenOS. In fact, they are the first OnePlus-branded smartphones to ship with ColorOS out of the box.
As far as new features are concerned, ColorOS 12.1 comes with HyperBoost tech for gaming, AI features for a smooth experience, and other minor tweaks.
