OnePlus announced a deeper integration with Oppo, and said that the move will enable the companies to capitalize on shared resources, and streamline operations. OnePlus said that the integration will allow it to deliver faster and more stable software updates for the handsets. Earlier this month, the company announced its latest update policy for the range of devices and revealed that its software development team is working with Oppo to integrate the codebase of OxygenOS and ColorOS. Now, in an interview with XDA, Oliver Zhang, Head of Product, OnePlus, has shared that the OnePlus Nord 2 5G will be the first OnePlus handset to feature an OxygenOS firmware that will be based on the integrated codebases.
Oliver also revealed that the upcoming OnePlus Nord 2 will boot OxygenOS 11.3, based on integrated OxygenOS and ColorOS codebase. Oliver also said that the codebase integration will not change the user experience, and users will have the same fast and smooth experience that they have come to expect from OnePlus.
