OnePlus 10 Pro launch

OnePlus 10 Pro will hit global markets by the end of March. The company is expected to launch the device at the same time. OnePlus has yet to confirm a launch date. We can expect more details in the coming days.

At MWC 2022, OnePlus also confirmed that it was reversing its decision to merge Oxygen OS with ColorOS. Instead, the company will release Oxygen OS 13 based on Android 13 later this year. Citing community feedback, OnePlus and Oppo have decided to release their Android skins as independent updates. However, they will be developed on the same code base.

“Our software philosophy for OxygenOS has always been to offer users a lightweight and clean experience that is close to stock Android and geared towards global use. With OxygenOS 13, we want to deliver an experience that longtime OnePlus users will be familiar with, ensuring that it maintains OxygenOS hallmarks such as fast and smooth operation, simple design, and ease of use. OxygenOS 13 will retain its unique visual design and a range of exclusive customization features,” the blog post reads.

In addition to this, OnePlus has also confirmed that it will launch a new smartphone with 150W fast charging powered by Oppo SuperVOOC technology. The new 150W SuperVOOC charging technology can charge a 4500mAh battery from 0 to 50 percent in 5 minutes. It also supports other charging standards and protocols such as PPS, PD and QC. This means that the SuperVOOC charger can also be used to charge tablets, laptops and mobile game consoles.
