Will OnePlus’ new unified OS be called H2OOS?
After OnePlus’ merger with OPPO, a lot has been changing for the premium smartphone brand. Whether it’s the hardware or software, the company has been doing things a little differently now than it used to. The merger may have been announced last year, but OnePlus shifted gears much before that with the introduction of the Nord lineup and diverting from its one (and later two) flagship a year ideology. One of the odd moves by the brand was introducing the OnePlus 10 Pro in China months before its global announcement, something common among the Chinese manufacturers, but not something OnePlus is known for. And much before that, we got the news of OnePlus’ merging the OxygenOS with OPPO’s ColorOS to create a unified operating system.
There have been talks going around OxygenOS and the upcoming unified OS. The internet is widely divided here — some like the new ColorOS-based OxygenOS 12, while some think it’s the end of OnePlus. And, do you guys even remember Hydrogen OS? OnePlus’ Android skin for China. It’s been killed and has been replaced by the ColorOS. But, as per new rumours, OnePlus isn’t over with the word “Hydrogen” yet.
According to a recent finding by tipster Mukul Sharma, OnePlus and OPPO’s unified operating system might be named H2OOS. No, it’s not a formula for some chemical compound, but it certainly is a mouthful. However, there are some concerns regarding this branding.
The main reason to not take this ‘H2OOS’ branding seriously as the official name of the upcoming unified operating system is that OnePlus filed the trademark for this seven years ago in 2015, i.e seven years ago. To refresh your memory, that was when the company launched the OnePlus 2 and introduced the HydrogenOS in China. As many companies do, H2OOS would be among the many names trademarked at the time considering Hydrogen and H2O go hand in hand.
And, of course, OnePlus was operating solely as a standalone brand at that time, so there were no plans of a unified OS with OPPO in 2015.
Nonetheless, OnePlus having the trademark for H2OOS could mean that the brand can still use the branding for the unified OS. It surely can, and we do think the name would be odd, but anything is possible.
