The release date of OxygenOS 12 , the customization layer (for now) of OnePlus based on Android 12 is still a mystery but the firm, through the Indian division, has given us more details of the next system update. for your smartphones.
The continuation of OxygenOS 11, launched last year, will probably be the last seen by the brand’s smartphones after the symbiosis with OPPO. The firm assures that OxygenOS will continue to exist in the global market but none of us dare to speculate on how long this strategy will last. Be that as it may, we already know the models that, for now, are guaranteed to receive Android 12.
Phones ready to receive OxygenOS 12
OnePlus never finishes announcing the new Oxygen OS 12 update for its phones , but based on the lifespan of each of them and what the firm has already done years ago, these are the ones who should receive it sooner or later:
- OnePlus 9 Pro
- OnePlus 9
- OnePlus 8T
- OnePlus 8 Pro
- OnePlus 8
- OnePlus Nord
- OnePlus Nord CE 5G
- OnePlus 7T Pro
- OnePlus 7T
- OnePlus 7 Pro
- OnePlus 7
The bad news is that lower-end devices like the Nord N10 or Nord N100 won’t enjoy this layer of customization. The reason is that these smartphones are guaranteed 3 years of security updates, but only one operating system. For this reason these smartphones would stay on Android 11.
Not even the OnePlus Nord N200 that hit the market last week will go much further as the brand officially confirmed in an interview that this model will only receive a three-year security patch update. Unfortunately, the announcer of this decision also confirmed that this device will only get a major Android version update.
What does OxygenOS 12 add to OnePlus phones?
Currently the Android 12 beta is currently limited to the OnePlus 9 series and is not yet available on most of the cited models. To test its news, you must sign up for the trial version by following the steps indicated by OnePlus in its forum .
The system has not yet been officially presented but it is quite clear that the interface of the devices will change as it happens with Android 12 , paid and free themes would be added giving users more options to choose how to personalize their mobile and would influence the management of notifications, in addition to the classic bug fixes and performance improvements compared to the previous version of the software.
