Business Standard Working closely with Oppo to feature integrated OS in 2022: OnePlus

Chinese handset brands OnePlus and Oppo are working together to bring an integrated operating system experience, and the unified experience will be launched with the next flagship series in 2022, OnePlus founder Pete Lau said.

Earlier this year, the two companies had announced merging their product and R&D teams.

Both brands have also integrated their research and development capabilities in India.

Lau - who is the Chief Product Officer of both the brands - said with the merging of teams, the companies have looked at creating the best possible software experience for users.

"With this approach, we have been working on the creation of an integrated operating system (OS) combining the very best strengths of Oxygen OS (OnePlus'OS) as well as Color OS (Oppo), particularly focussing on the fast, smooth, and clean experience that everyone has come to know with Oxygen OS and combining that with the very stable, quality aspects and features of Color OS - which allows us to create a unified operating system experience," he added.

Terming the integration with Oppo as a starting point of 'OnePlus 2.0', Lau said the unified OS experience will first launch on the 2022 flagship and then further across other devices.

Asked about the India R&D teams, Lau said "directionally, things are moving to having teams focus towards the integrated OS". "...it's important to note that across software, there are different teams, focusing on different aspects, including, for example, chipset and the chipset integration...there are other software teams that are focused on the overall screen experiences, animation, things related to the screen...directionally, everyone is moving towards the focus on this integrated OS," he added.
