A little over half a year has passed since the merger between OPPO and OnePlus became official . This decision was made in order to join forces to improve in terms of production in the not too distant future. What is clear is that OxygenOS will become ColorOS.
This is the proprietary software that OPPO uses for their respective smartphones and that is characterized, like the case of OnePlus, by its great optimization with the Android operating system. However, the second is experiencing problems with its Personalization layer transformation.
Complicated migration
It has been the CEO of OnePlus himself who has made public information regarding this fact. Pete Lau affirms that it is difficult to get ColorOS 12 to those mobiles that run HydrogenOS through an update.
For those who do not know, the Asian company differentiates the software of its devices sold in China and abroad. In the case of those distributed in the country of origin, they include the one mentioned at the end of the previous paragraph, while the versions for the rest of the territories carry OxygenOS.
The CEO has also clarified that users have nothing to worry about it, since many thought that the migration to the OPPO layer would mean a factory reset of the phone, something that Lau himself has denied . This means that those who own a OnePlus terminal should not be afraid of losing their files and applications when updating the system.
Deployment process
Pete Lau has confirmed that the team is working on a fix as soon as possible. At the moment the update to ColorOS 12 is already available for the top of the range of the American company, OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro, although only in China.
The company has not made any official information regarding this situation, as it is expected that only those sold in the Chinese market will experience this evolution. This means that users in Spain who have one of their smartphones will be able to continue using OxygenOS as normal. In the event that the cell phones that will enjoy it were to arrive, they would be the OnePlus 8 and 7 series.
In addition, those who have been able to test in their own hands mobiles such as the OnePlus Nord 2, a mid-range of the company that incorporated ColorOS since its arrival , have provided their impressions when using this “new” system.
Most of them agree that both in terms of aesthetics and performance, no major changes have been perceived compared to other models that still have the previous version. This is great news, since if the firm’s phones were to undergo the layer change at some point, it would not lead to significant modifications.
There were many people who bet on OnePlus given the immense amount of customization functions that its software hid and luckily it seems that this facet will not be affected . On the other hand, it will be necessary to be attentive to the news to know more details about this issue.
