Earlier this year, OnePlus announced it is merging its R&D team with OPPO. The company claims it is doing so for streamlining operations and capitalise on shared resources. Moreover, the company claimed Oxygen OS will continue to run on its smartphones in India. According to the company, the major changes will reflect behind the scenes. Now, the company has announced that it will introduce a new unified OS in partnership with OPPO.
With the integration, I would like to say that OnePlus has entered the OnePlus 2.0 phase. I believe we are now a more mature and reliable technology brand that continues to bring top-quality products to users around the world with the same Never Settle spirit as before.

OnePlus 2.0 will debut on OnePlus 10 series in 2022
The next OnePlus flagship launching in 2022 will be the first smartphone running this integrated OS. They also added that there will not be any OnePlus 9T or OnePlus 10 launching this year. Because the existing OnePlus 9 series is already powerful enough and will remain competitive throughout this year. On the other hand, the rumoured OnePlus 9RT might launch at the end of this year as an entry-level flagship offering.
