OnePlus 8 series smartphones will be updated to ColorOS in 2022

OnePlus 8 series phones — OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro and OnePlus 8T — will get the ColorOS update next year. This was announced by OnePlus COO, Liu Fengshuo via a post on Chinese microblogging site Weibo. The update, as per the post, is scheduled for the first quarter of 2022.

It does not specify whether the global units or only the users in China will get the update. Most likely, the ColorOS update for OnePlus 8 series will arrive for Chinese units only.

OnePlus phones usually come with OxygenOS. But that changed with the OnePlus 9 series when the Chinese variants of the phone were announced with Oppo’s ColorOS. But, the global units still run on OxygenOS.
