On March 22, Pete Lau, founder and CEO of OnePlus, announced that the OnePlus 9 series will be pre-installed with ColorOS 11 at the factory, while older models with OxygenOS will continue to receive maintenance and updates.
We know that previous OnePlus models all used OxygenOS, while the OnePlus 9 series comes pre-installed with ColorOS 11, an operating system deeply customized by OPPO’s software department based on Android 11, which was released in late September 2020.
This time, ColorOS 11 brings infinite Always On Display, multi-level dark mode adjustment, and other features, supporting dark color adjustment of different intensities. It also supports personalized customization, such as new custom ringtones, different system color styles, and inspirational wallpapers.
In addition, ColorOS 11 introduces the Smart Sidebar feature, which allows you to instantly switch to a small-window mode with an upward swipe gesture and enables even more convenient floating windows, fully meeting the needs of quick use in various scenarios.
OnePlus stated that the OnePlus 9 series has broken 13 display records, received DisplayMate A+ certification, and supports true 10-bit color depth, 120Hz refresh rate, 8192-level brightness adjustment, and automatic color temperature sensing.
The OnePlus 9 series will feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset, LPDDR5 memory, and UFS 3.1 storage. OnePlus has also optimized the internal structure and adopted a new cooling system. Additionally, this series has dual stereo speakers.
The OnePlus 9 series will feature the IMX789 main camera, supporting 4K video recording at 120 fps and capturing 12-bit RAW photos with up to 6.87 billion colors.
