OnePlus to merge Oxygen and Hydrogen ROM
OnePlus revealed that the company will be
merging its global Oxygen OS and Chinese Hydrogen OS, in an interview with
xda-developers.
Hydrogen OS is the company's ROM exclusively
for the Chinese market, featuring a skinned UI more in tune with the tastes in
the Chinese market, whereas the Oxygen OS for the global market has a much more
stock UI. Going forward, the company will be merging the two teams as well as
the two products. Having both the teams working on a single product should
produce better results and faster turnaround time for updates. This also means
that the end product should have the best (hopefully) of both worlds, as now
there will just be one ROM for every market.
OnePlus recently released OnePlus 3 OxygenOS
3.5.1 community build, which gives users a first look at what to expect in
future. This is the first product that is the result of the merger of the two
teams. It is still very much a work in progress, though, and future releases
should include more changes, for better or worse.
