OnePlus 10 Pro could still run OxygenOS 12 outside of China

By

Soon after confirming its integration with Oppo in late 2021, OnePlus announced that its 2022 flagship phone would be the first to run a new unified OS. For those who aren’t aware, the company is merging OxygenOS with Oppo’s ColorOS. The OnePlus 10 Pro in China already runs ColorOS 12.1. However, it looks like the global variant of the device will still feature the latest version of the beloved OxygenOS.

According to a report from 91Mobiles, tipster Yogesh Brar, the launch of the unified OS has been delayed. As a result, the OnePlus 10 Pro could run OxygenOS 12 outside of China. While this might come as good news for OnePlus fans, it also means that the launch of the upcoming OS has been delayed, so the phone won’t get a unified OS until a future update at an unspecified date.

Speaking with Digital Trends, Pete Lau, Oppo’s chief product officer and OnePlus co-founder, justified the unification of the operating systems by saying that the approach would be efficient and effective for the upcoming product portfolio. However, if the new report is to be believed, the unified OS is very much still under development. The upcoming OS is touted to be fast, smooth, reliable, feature-rich, and lightweight. OnePlus has also committed to providing at least three major Android updates and four years of security patches with the new unified version of the OS.

Using the OnePlus 10 Pro again made me worried about the OnePlus 11
Holding The OnePlus 10 Pro.

It's hard to believe, but we're quickly inching toward the OnePlus 11. The phone is already available if you live in China, but for the rest of the world, we only have to wait until February 7 for OnePlus to host its big 'Cloud 11' launch event in India.

In anticipation of the OnePlus 11, I decided to bust out my OnePlus 10 Pro and see how it's holding up in early 2023. In short, there are a lot of things I still love about the phone, and it's admirable how great it feels a year later. But even more than that, using the OnePlus 10 Pro in 2023 reminded me of how some key things have changed. As a result, I'm more nervous than excited about what we'll get with the OnePlus 11. Let me explain.

The OnePlus 11 will have its global launch on February 7 at an event in New Delhi, but on January 4, it was announced in China, where it will go on sale ahead of its international debut. This means we know a lot about the phone before we've even had the chance to get our hands on it. If you're excited about the OnePlus 11, here's what you need to know about it.
OnePlus 11 screen and design

OnePlus says the design of the OnePlus 11 has been inspired by black holes. It's an unusual source of inspiration, but there is something black hole-like about the massive camera module on the back of the phone, which is made of stainless steel. The body of the phone itself seems like it is a glass sandwich design with a thin metallic frame between the glass slabs. The glass is curved on either side of the frame, and you may be able to tell that the front screen has a subtle curve because of this. On the front, the display has a hole-punch cutout in the upper-left corner, housing the selfie camera.

OnePlus is planning on starting the new year off with a bang by revealing the much-anticipated OnePlus 11. Launching on February 7 during the company's annual first-quarter showcase, the OnePlus 11 boasts the return of two user-favorite features: the company's signature alert slider and Hasselblad photography integration — both of which were absent on the OnePlus 10T.

Although OnePlus is still keeping most of the official details about the OnePlus 11 under wraps until February, there have been plenty of leaks and rumors surrounding the phone — and they've painted it as a worthy successor to the OnePlus 10T, the company's most recent flagship.
