Ronnie Bulaong Leave a comment

OnePlus has officially unveiled their own operating system based on Android 5.0.2, and it’s called the OxygenOS.

According to the company, OxygenOS was built with the hopes of providing “faster, more meaningful updates and a better-integrated range of services for every OnePlus user.”

It added that in line with their goal of keeping OxygenOS “light and essential” the OnePlus team didn’t really do a complete overhaul of the Android Lollipop. Instead they kept what makes sense to them and their users and added some subtle improvements on performance and battery life.

Everything you need to know about OnePlus OxygenOS can be found on this link – this includes some of its features, and a pretty detailed guide on how you can flash the OS to your smartphone.
