Oneplus is switching to ColorOS, the variant of Android used by Oppo smartphones. The move was announced on OnePlus’ forums by Gary C, the product lead on OxygenOS.

‘we truly believe this customized new operating system will bring our Chinese users a software experience that is better suited to their liking’.

Hydrogenos is the China-specific version of Android that OnePlus had previously been using for all of its phones that shipped in the mainland.

Coloros is already used by a lot more people in China than hydrogenos. Oppo recently became the biggest smartphone brand in its home country for the first time.
