OxygenOS 13 and also ColorOS 13 share greater than a couple of resemblances – they are properly the very same OS impersonating as various “variations.” Throw in Realme UI 4.0 and also it’s a troublesome reality that BBK shows up resistant to have up to.
Considered That Pete Lau asserted OxygenOS and also ColorOS’s merged system was readied to be strolled back, it’s even more discouraging as we as soon as admired the previous as the “ideal Android experience.” It’s remarkable to see just how much times have actually transformed the sector’s disrupter. Some may state that this has actually been unavoidable. None of this is extra noticeable when making use of ColorOS 13 and also OxygenOS 13 side-by-side.
Sharing elements and also equipment manufacturing pipes is something, however, for several, the essence of why they still remained to stand firm with OnePlus was OxygenOS. Simply what remains in shop? Right here’s every little thing you require to understand – the excellent and also the poor.

Combining done in Android 13
We saw the initial steps of the merging in between ColorOS and also OxygenOS with the Android 12 upgrade. It’s a lot more obvious this time around about, to the factor that it’s proactively tough to inform both Android skins apart. The resemblances are so obvious that it’s practically much easier to explain the small adjustments than what coincides.
Notice facility
There allow adjustments immediately in the pull-down Notice facility in OxygenOS and also ColorOS 13. It is strangely similar to the Android 11 Designer Sneak peek 1 wherein the media controls were examined inside the Quick Setups panel along with usual toggles. You can definitely see some iphone affects, yet the enhancement of the Android 12 Wi-Fi and also Bluetooth pill-style toggles are an essential change.
It’s tough to suggest that this does restrict energy and also does so at the cost of some identification. With several Chinese OEMs doing comparable points, it’s a bit unsatisfactory to see the straightforward Quick Setups panel and also Notice facility eliminated for this iOS-lite mix.
Setups web page adjustments
A variety of adjustments have actually been made in the Setups food selection and also a variety of connected submenus to make sure that OxygenOS 13 is a lot more like ColorOS 13. You can see it quickly from the shot of shade to the Setups sectional symbols. There are various other adjustments such as to the Around phone display, which is currently the same on both gadgets consisting of the “share” switch to send out or publish your tool specifications to applications and also various other solutions.
If you’re in any kind of uncertainty concerning whether the adjustments are totally combined throughout, also the SystemUI symbol within the procedures and also battery area currently has the very same symbol in OxygenOS and also ColorOS 13 based upon Oppo’s system symbol layout.
AOD functions
For many years we wished that OnePlus would certainly include Always-on screen assistance and also ultimately it was presented with OxygenOS 11 and also Android 11. Ever since, the function has actually progressed, and also to be reasonable to OnePlus the execution has actually been strong total.
A situation in factor is the new Spotify widget for the Always-on screen. Spotify is pressed like a banner advertisement within the Rack area right here as well, which some may discover invasive. Nevertheless, if you do make use of the songs streaming solution, you can allow a brand-new widget that will certainly show up when the Always-on screen feature is energetic. It’s a cool assimilation yet is unnaturally restricted. We’d like to see it involve even more streaming and also media solutions or simply have a common choice offered.
Since a lot of the software program is currently hemorrhaging right into ColorOS, single special Canvas AOD features are currently offered to Oppo phones. Also the special Parsons Institution of Layout “Understanding” function is currently component ColorOS 13. Much of the widgets and also modification choices are readied to be provided to Oppo and also OnePlus proprietors.
Homescreen adjustments
A variety of adjustments have actually been made to the homescreen consisting of to just how points look and also run, yet, once more, every little thing shows up throughout both variations of OxygenOS 13 and also ColorOS 13. Among one of the most remarkable adjustments that seems like it has actually been raised right out of Absolutely nothing OS is the capacity to increase the size of any kind of homescreen folders for much easier accessibility.
ColorOS 13’s “Aquamorphic” symbol design is offered right here as well, which is one more sign of the combining aesthetic identifications. Google’s themed symbols have actually additionally made the dive over to ColorOS and also OxygenOS for the very first time. System applications and also any kind of sustained Google applications will certainly abide by your predetermined system wallpaper shades. This trusts better assistance for Dynamic shade with wallpaper-based theming offered extra thoroughly by means of the “Wallpaper & design” application in the Setups area.
This operates in a comparable fashion to the Shade scheme function in One UI. You can choose from some predetermined standard shade examples with sneak peeks of simply exactly how specific food selections and also application controls will certainly look. It’s absolutely nothing brand-new, it’s simply tuned right here once more in Android 13. Also the brand-new wallpaper option in OxygenOS 13 and also ColorOS 13 have resemblances. The supply option seems like an imitator without the initiative being made to conceal it.
Worldwide tool search remains in the help the Application cabinet in both variations of Android 13. This resembles it is mosting likely to operate in a comparable fashion to just how Pixel gadgets use the search operates when swiping up from the homescreen. It’s not totally useful or doesn’t seem at this phase, yet this is an excellent step no matter.
Rack changes
The OnePlus Rack feature has actually leapt over to ColorOS for the very first time in Android 13. This is just one of minority functions along with Zen Setting and also Work-Life Equilibrium that has actually endured the UI overhaul. You can still trigger by swiping down at the homescreen yet it’s right here in ColorOS 13 for the very first time.
There is no capacity to include toggles or on-device storage space information with a minimal option of widgets consisting of an Action tracker, Weather condition information, Notes, Clock, Photos, and also Spotify manage tab. Regretfully, it resembles the capacity to pick an ideal edge swipe motion to accessibility this fast panel has actually additionally been totally eliminated as you can just toggle by means of a homescreen swipe down right here in Android 13 in ColorOS 13 and also OxygenOS 13.
O-haptics
OnePlus and also Oppo are amongst the very best on Android when it pertains to haptic responses. The O-haptic function has actually been offered awhile yet signed up with OxygenOS 12.1 and also ColorOS 12.1 when the Locate X5 Pro introduced. With Android 13, it’s most likely involving a lot more OnePlus and also Oppo gadgets. This allows you tune the haptic strength and also just how resonances “really feel” when energetic.
Billing computer animations
For many years OnePlus and also Oppo have actually continued to be determined that Warp Cost and also SuperVOOC billing used various innovation in spite of proof on the contrary. Currently also the billing computer animation equals throughout OxygenOS and also ColorOS. It’s rather good as well, yet the “SuperVOOC” branding is currently extra noticeable after hemorrhaging right into OnePlus gadgets over the previous 18 months.
Elimination of OnePlus identification
You can really quickly suggest that the OnePlus identification is gradually being airbrushed out of presence, and also there are a couple of crucial locations where that appears right here in the Android 13 beta. Certainly, adjustments can be merely as a result of the truth that ColorOS and also OxygenOS 13 are still in the very early sneak peek stage. We’re not fairly as persuaded provided the mass of adjustments over the previous number of years. Nevertheless, right here’s a couple of crucial locations you’ll observe the thinning down of the OxygenOS branding:
No Never Ever Clear Up in Rack
The valuable Rack function has actually progressed in time to consist of several brand-new tweaks and also features, yet you’ll detect immediately that the famous “Never ever Clear up” tagline and also branding has actually been cleaned from the pulldown area. ColorOS 13 has actually included the Rack function to include yet extra complication. It looks and also operates similarly.
Absence of 1+ calculator easter egg
An additional elimination in the OxygenOS 13 beta is the preferred calculator easter egg. For those not aware, you can introduce the supply calculator application and also go into “1+” after that touch “=” to expose a computer animated “Never ever Clear up” logo design in the result box. Trying to do this in the current OxygenOS beta not does anything.
OxygenOS logo design eliminated in Setups
In the Setups food selection, there disappears space for the standard OxygenOS logo design that has actually been utilized for a variety of years. You’ll typically discover this by heading to Setups > Concerning phone > Software application variation. While Oppo’s ColorOS logo design is decorated within the very same pane on Locate X5 Pro, it’s strangely enough missing on the OnePlus 10 Pro. This can be an easy oversight within the Android 13 sneak peek, considered that the computer animated OxygenOS logo design continues to be in position upon tool start-up.
Last ideas
Oppo and also OnePlus require to quit this deception of attempting to assert that ColorOS and also OxygenOS are various builds. While there might be under-the-hood distinctions, at the very least functionally both are currently the same. Several of the identification of OnePlus has actually been given up and also for solidified followers, the absence of openness is not just discouraging, yet it’s additionally disparaging.
It’s aggravated as OxygenOS 13 and also ColorOS 13 are, as a matter of fact, definitely great. Actually, ColorOS has actually come a lengthy method in recent times. It was as soon as fairly bad and also currently it’s really excellent in its very own right. Oppo’s third-party Android skin can depend on its very own with a variety of remarkable functions, efficient areas, and also really valuable adjustments.
A larger issue with this upgrade option is that the OnePlus of years passed can practically offer gadgets thanks to the tidy, light-weight variation of OxygenOS that supplied an authentic choice to the Google Pixel series.Things degraded over the previous couple of years and also any kind of originality has actually been torn from the brand name. Followers will certainly be dissatisfied, and also we’re distressed as well. It practically makes it tough to advise that you head out and also get a OnePlus phone, because, from Android 13 onwards, you’re getting an Oppo phone in all yet name.
