        AnonD-1026503, 10 Dec 2021Shouldve released this update on April 1.There is an unified OS coming soon, we don't know the name yet. If we know OnePlus well enough by now, the OS won't be any better

          ROFL! What a caustically sarcastic jibe at OP and the mismanagement at OPPO.

            507AMS, 10 Dec 2021Where are the MIUI haters now??? I don't see the flock... moreMIUI was sh*t, and still is sh*t. Oxygen OS was Good, now it's sh*ttier than MIUI. Case closed.

              Shouldve released this update on April 1.

                GSMArena likes to "fanboy" certain products and brands.
                This is a breath of fresh air, to see a review that is more acute and critical than normal. Trust that by being as accurate/truthful as possible you will be financially sound, thanks to having a bigger audience, in the future without needing to cave under Bullying attempts and demands by certain companies. Keep it up, guys 👍

                  I'm definitely going to miss the previous iteration of OxygenOS. This new version is no different from using an Oppo phone.

                      Again.. Welcome to the family OP users....lol.. Now you guys can have the same experience as Realme users...

                      ColorOs full of bugs that Oppo never bother to fix... Enjoy!

                          gregzeng, 10 Dec 2021Seem to be many comments from the Apple crew. Open source p... moreThere has been literally only one person who is comparing this thing to iOS in this comment section, how "many" of them do your eyes see LMFAO. And let's get real here, OxygenOS 12, at its current state, is quite messy.

                            So basically: Half-assed implementation of ColorOS with bugginess and some UI elements taken from the stock Android? That sounds like one hell of a mess to me, it makes me wonder why OnePlus simply didn't port ColorOS, change the default accent colour to red and just call it a day. ColorOS is well refined and pretty much bug-free (as far as I'm concerned), so why change it for the sake of making it unique when everything works as they are.

                                I feel 1p is getting a little tight around the waste band, and the only phone I'd probably sping for as android is the Samsung.

                                    it looks very similar to MIUI i must say which doesn't bother me that much cause i am used to it but i guess for Oneplus users it should be a very bad idea.

                                      Time to put a different launcher on my phone. I despise swipe left to open google.
