The OnePlus 10 Pro has finally started receiving the Android 13 OS based OxygenOS 13 update in China. The company’s flagship smartphone had already received the update in other regions, and around the same time, the update was also made available in the brand’s home market as well.

Although, this update was only exclusive to all the users that had participated in the beta program for the major update. Now, the official version of the OxygenOS 13 stable build has made its way to China. So for those looking forward for the update, make sure to backup any important personal data before making the update.

In an official thread, the company also stated that public beta build users do not need to register for the official version and can directly upgrade to the official version through system push notification. So those interested, you have to make sure that your OnePlus 10 Pro is already update to the basic version A.18.

OnePlus unveiled the OnePlus 9 series in China on March 24. The company had opened the on pre-order and it already crossed 2 million reservations in the country. The devices finally went on sale for the first time earlier today in China and OnePlus has posted the official details on the sales.

In a Weibo post, the company has officially said that the entire OnePlus 9 series has sold for about 300 million yuan worth in the first sale in China. This record, which took place at 10:00 AM Beijing time sale has happened in just 10 seconds.

Back in April 2020, OnePlus unveiled the OnePlus 8 series in China, and the first sale clocked about 100 million yuan worth of sales in 1 minute. Cut back to present times, the first sale of the successors seems to have tripled in the home country.

OnePlus launched two devices under the OnePlus 9 series in China- OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro. However, the biggest change this time around is the transition from HydrogenOS to ColoroS 11 in China. That’s not all as the devices are sold with an official 2-year warranty there which doesn’t void even if you root your device.

Apart from bringing the newer devices to the ColorOS, OnePlus has also revealed a list of older devices that would get the update later in the future in China. Talking about the price, the OnePlus 9 starts at ¥3,799 ($582) while the ‘OnePlus 9 Pro‘ variant is sold from  ¥4,999 ($766). Both the devices come in 8/12GB RAM and 128/256GB internal storage.

Along with the OnePlus 9 series, the company also launched its first smartwatch, the OnePlus watch(classic edition) for ¥999 ($153) in China.

OnePlus devices in China run a Chinese version of the OxygenOS and it is called the HydrogenOS. Looks like it won’t be the case in the future as an XDA report says the company might switch over to OPPO’s ColorOS in the future.

According to the report, an XDA Senior Member hikari_calyx has found an announcement on the OnePlus QQ Official group. A screenshot says that the official website of the HydrogenOS will shut down on March 24 which is the launch date for the OnePlus 9 series in China.

Anyway, the announcement also says that the OTA servers of the HydrogenOS will subsequently be shut on April 1. If this is true, the company would be withdrawing the developments on HydrogenOS after so many years. Besides, OPPO and OnePlus aren’t that apart to begin with.

The majority of OnePlus and OPPO shares are owned by Oujia Holdings Ltd.(OPlus) and Pete Lau is the Senior Vice President at OPlus since August 2020. Back then, OnePlus had confirmed that he will also serve as the CEO of the company.

Additionally, the company merged its R&D department with OPPO back in January 2021 but said that software features will be unique. Cut back to present times, the alleged announcement says that OnePlus devices will switch to OPPO’s ColorOS and be sold via the OPPO store in China.

Before OnePlus could confirm this news as true/false, forums in China have spread this info and the reactions are mixed. While this is happening, an OnePlus spokesperson has confirmed to XDA that OnePlus devices will continue to run OxygenOS globally.

Few users also say that OnePlus might unveil this news at the OnePlus 9 series and the device may run the OS out of the box. However, these are early guesses, and let’s wait for the official info in the coming days.

OnePlus is looking to expand its offline channels for sales of its electronic products like smartphones and more. As of right now, the company has already opened up about 200 physical stores in China.

Back in November 2015, the Chinese company had issued an announcement that it was closing down its 45 OnePlus experience stores across the country. The move was made to further grow its online channel and reserve its limited finances at the time. Back then the company had only offered 3 smartphone models with which it could not sustain due to it cutting into the OEMs profits.

Jumping forward to now, the company has seen great success with its e-commerce approach. A notable example is the Indian market where its handsets were well received and even became a top runner in the premium segment in recent times.

Earlier today (20th January 2020), Pete Lau, the CEO and Co-Founder of OnePlus, stated that the company has over 200 offline stores, which include its experience stores and even authorized sellers, with more expected to arrive soon after. These stores will include, and are not limited to, smartphones alongside the peripheral accessories like earphones and more.

The senior executive shared this news on Weibo, the Chinese microblogging website, through his official account. It is indicative of the company’s success and its plans on expanding the physical distribution of its electronic products. The expansion primarily focuses on the home country, China, but will also include overseas expansion soon after.

OnePlus started rolling out stable Android 10 to OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro users in India as well as internationally around late September 2019. However, due to issues in the initial release, the company has to pause the rollout. OnePlus resumed the update sometime in mid-October for international users. Now, OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro users in China are finally getting the stable HydrogenOS based Android 10 update.

The stable Hydrogen OS 10.0.1.GM2 update for the OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro comes after four public beta updates that fixed all the bugs and refined the software. Those who are on HydrogenOS’s Android 10 public beta 4 can directly flash the new ROM via the local upgrade method. The OnePlus 7 Android 10 Hydrogen OS stable ROM can be downloaded (here) and the OnePlus 7 Pro Android 10 HydrogenOS stable (here).

Unfortunately, the stable update brings the old October 2019 security patch to the devices. So users will have to wait for a few days more to get the new November patch. While this completes the worldwide Android 10 push to the OnePlus 7 series, 5G users will have to wait until Q1 2020 to get the new Android version.
