As it became known, the beta version of the ColorOS shell is now available for users of OnePlus 8 smartphones, which were sold in China.
We previously reported that starting with the OnePlus 9 series, OnePlus phones sold in China will ship with ColorOS. At the time, it was not reported if OnePlus plans to migrate its older devices from HydrogenOS to ColorOS. Now the answer to this question has been received.
As a reminder, OnePlus has two operating systems for its smartphones – HydrogenOS in China and OxygenOS for the rest of the world. The OxygenOS shell continues to be supported, and HydrogenOS appears to be being phased out. The information that the global versions of OnePlus smartphones will continue to run the OxygenOS shell, was confirmed by Gary C. Head of OxygenOS Department.
In his blog, Gary Xi writes that “devices for the Chinese market will now use a customized version of ColorOS, adapted specifically for OnePlus smartphones.” OnePlus 8 users in China looking to upgrade to ColorOS can already install the beta version.
OnePlus was founded by former Oppo employees Pete Lau and Carl Pei. OnePlus uses Oppo’s product lines and supply chains, and some OnePlus devices closely resemble the designs of some Oppo phones.
