Just in time for MWC 2022 in the year 2022 OnePlus offers a handful of changes to make available to its business. They relate to the larger worldwide launch of OnePlus 10 Pro, its new plans for OxygenOS as well as its launch of a new model for retail pilot in India and the broadening of its product offerings.

OxygenOS 13

The most significant announcement by OnePlus is the announcement of plan to launch OxygenOS 13. It’s true, OnePlus is indeed working on OxygenOS 13 as we saw early in October.

This is a change from the plans OnePlus was able to announce last year regarding their “unified OS” along with the OPPO. At present, OxygenOS and ColorOS share the identical codebase. The original goal for 2021 was to take one step further than this integrated codebase to combine the “fast and easy experiences of OxygenOS along with the security and capabilities offered by ColorOS”. However, the plans have changed after 2022 and OnePlus is determined to maintain OxygenOS in the same place and distinct from ColorOS in response to feedback of its users. There’s no longer a need become the case of a “unified OS” as such, as well as each of OxygenOS as well as ColorOS will remain in existence.

In this regard, OnePlus mentions that is working on OxygenOS 13 for its devices. It will have the best features of OxygenOS including a quick seamless experience a simple design, and user-friendly and a variety of unique customization options. Although it isn’t specifically specified, we can assume the possibility that OxygenOS 13 would be built upon Android 13 too.

Beyond OnePlus announcement of a possible new skin, there are a few points to consider. OxygenOS as it is in its current state currently, is similar as an experience skin on ColorOS. This isn’t a problem in and of itself (since we believe ColorOS has its own advantages) however, it raises the question: what changes in the announcements apart from a decision not to change the names? We know that the OPPO Reno 6 5G, that of the OPPO Reno 6 with 5G as well as the OPPO Reno 7 5G (Global), and the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G have the identical software (and If you didn’t realize this now you know). There’s also been features transfer between the two OS such as that of the AOD Canvas feature being moved to OOS into COS. and the Hasselblad camera app on OOS changing onto COS in the OPPO Find X5 Pro, in contrast, those with OxygenOS 12 devices have the ColorOS camera application. OOS 12’s Private Safe is COS’s feature and so on. OxygenOS can be described as ColorOS and, therefore, although both brandings are distinct, they remain unifying.

Maybe the direction of the feature or UX development might be different? It is only speculation at this point, since the two companies haven’t mentioned anything about this. We’ve inquired with OnePlus what their differentiators are between OxygenOS as well as ColorOS in an environment where they have a common codebase, however they don’t have a single OS yet, but haven’t been able to get a response as of yet.

OnePlus 10 Pro wider launch outside of China

The most significant announcement by OnePlus is the fact that OnePlus 10 Pro can officially be available beyond China in the month of March 2022. It will be launched on North America, India, and Europe before the close of March. OnePlus has also announced that the phone will be running with OxygenOS 12.1 on the global market. The flagship was launched using ColorOS in China however that has been the case for quite a long time.

If you’re wondering about the reason behind the gap of three months between a China release and an international release, OnePlus mentions the fierce competition within the Chinese market as well as the absence of investment in it has allowed rivals to profit from the current situation. There are many OEMs release their flagships in the months of December and January in China. In order to have a simultaneous release globally, OnePlus needs to have global software builds that are ready and certified. This is an extremely lengthy procedure. It is therefore more efficient to launch an initial Chinese release, and then follow that up with the global release later like most others OEMs do. The company is currently evaluating ways to reduce the period between delay in launch dates in the future.

HyperBoost Gaming Engine and 150W SuperVOOC

OnePlus is currently working on a number of gaming-focused functions under the HyperBoost Gaming Engine banner, and they will be available with the OnePlus 10 Pro soon after its launch in the world. These comprise GPA Frame Stabilizer O-Sync and GPU Load Control (GLC).

Global expansion through more diverse product line

OnePlus offers India and its home country of India as well as the US, Europe, and China as its main markets. However, this year, the company will simultaneously explore new markets as well. The company plans to increase its offerings to Mexico as well as Canada in the coming year offering users more choices to choose from. New markets are being planned to be added for South America, Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East.

OnePlus will also release additional 5G phones across more price points as well as a launch of the most affordable 5G smartphone available in India and Europe as of. OnePlus will also be expanding to different IoT categories and launch more IoT products.

The first retail model to be introduced in Pakistan

OnePlus will unveil an innovative store model Pakistan in the near future. In India, customers will be able to purchase the product online, and then quickly pick it up at a nearby retail store. This will let customers benefit from offline channels, for instance, set-up guides, while providing the convenience of placing orders on the internet.
