How OnePlus has Changed

Carl pei Resigned from OnePlus around October 2020. This created a lot of curiosity and doubts among the Tech world and the General public. Since then OnePlus is facing a steady decline both in the image and with some mediocre launches.

Oxygen OS

Oxygen OS which is a favorite for everyone is at its peak in Oxygen OS 10. After that Oxygen OS 11 is inspired by the OneUi One-handed software approach. People got used to it even though some people are slightly disappointed about it.

Color OS Merge and Oneplus Joined Oppo

Then came a shock among Oneplus fans and users that OnePlus is now a sub-brand of oppo and the oxygen OS is no longer the Oxygen OS it used to be. It’s now more of a color OS. Most People are disappointed with Oxygen OS 12 update.

Benefits of Color os and Oppo merge

  • Fast and Stable updates
  • better Battery back-up
  • more features and theme support
  • Oppo inspired Camera processing
  • Ui animations is smooth

Demerits of Color Os and Oppo Merge

  • Original Oxygen OS stock feel is gone
  • All the OnePlus Apps are slowly becoming Oppo apps
  • Oxygen OS 12 is exactly like Color OS 12. But Color os 12 Rom is more stable than Oxygen OS 12.
  • No MSM unbrick tools and fewer kernel sources that are actually useful for third-party Rom developers

Can we Trust Oneplus Now?

  • OnePlus is in a transition phase and 2021 is a bad year for OnePlus regarding updates.. example OnePlus 7series OOS11, OnePlus 6series oxygen OS 11, OnePlus8 and 9 series also have some bad updates which bricked devices( crashdump mode) and force reboots. L1 and L3 situation.
  • More people are installing custom ROMs because of bad Oxygen OS 11 updates and now Oxygen OS 12 updates.
  • OnePlus is officially a sub-brand of oppo with improper Kernel sources, Bootloader unlock is there for the present OnePlus, but may go in the future. Gcam modders issues about oxygen os 12 with color os 12 base. Fewer custom Roms now than usual.
  • keeping it all aside Oneplus is still a good option to consider.
  • Under ₹25,000- Realme and Xiaomi have much better devices than OnePlus.
  • So OnePlus Nord CE, Nord CE 2, and Ce2 lite are Not a standout.
  • ₹25,000 to ₹50,000 – OnePlus is too strong in this market to beat. iQOO, Realme, and Moto are trying Their best to catch up but OnePlus is doing it’s best as always.
  • Above ₹50,000 – iPhone and Samsung are obvious choices. OnePlus coming third. So in flagship territory, Oneplus has a lot of work to do to even match Samsung’s level .
  • So only Android smartphone manufacturer which is doing good than OnePlus is Samsung with its stable OneUi and longer software support, great cameras for price.

Things we hope OnePlus should do

  • Bring back Stable and clean Oxygen OS software again
  • Improve the camera performance Further
  • Do not ditch the Alert slider at all
  • Continue with easy Bootloader Unlock
  • Release Timely Software updates and fewer Buggy Builds
  • Don’t Release too many smartphones like other Brands
  • Don’t Kill Custom ROM development at all which is also a plus point for OnePlus.
  • Bring 90fps back in Bgmi or Pubg
  • Do not Ditch Chargers in the name of Environment

Conclusion

  • OnePlus is not dead or Rip and won’t be in the future also because it has the backing of a big Oppo Company. It’s in the transition phase now and struggling. Samsung is doing Very well with OnePlus and Iqoo and Realme also is so Close to capturing the Oneplus Market share in the 25k- 50k segment.
  • So we can still buy OnePlus phones but Buy only Good Oneplus phones.
  • OnePlus provides 3years of OS updates for the Flagship series and R or T variants.
  • 2year OS updates for Nord series.
  • 1-year OS update for Nord Ce variants. We have to see whether Oxygen os 13 will be as good as they claim. Let’s Hope Oneplus will be as good as it used to be 2 years ago.
