Yesterday we saw a really interesting new teaser from OnePlus One on their official Weibo account. Now Google just confirmed the introduction of their first own OS ‘Oxygen OS’.

Yesterday OnePlus simply posted a teaser with a periodic tablet, with their tagline “Never Settle”. This immediately let rumors start wildly. Many reports thought we would get a new metal back cover, made from metal. Following their teaser OnePLus send a Gplus Post with another teaser ” Back to Basics”.

Well OnePlus just announced that the leak has nothing to do with a new metal case at all. Instead OnePlus Users will get new self built OS by OnePLus. As you might know OnePlus had some issues with Cyanogen MOD in India, their current OS in most countries. Since then it has become much more likelry that we would see One Plus devices in the future without Cyanogen Mod. We also already saw OnePlus devices turning up in the US completely without Cyanogen Mod Branding.

Well, now OnepLus confirmed the Introduction of their first full operating OS. OnePlus launched a competiton a while ago, where users could propose a name for their new OS. It seems like OnePLus decided on the name “Oxygen OS”.This why you got the teaser with the Periodic table”.

According to OnePlus: “Oxygen is all around us. It’s part of us and everything we do. It creates the water that carves out valleys and moves mountains. By itself, it’s simple and pure—a fundamental building block. But, as a part of something greater, it can do amazing things. Just like us”

The OnePlus News does not stop there though. Oxygen OS is only the Operating system that will be used on “Global Devices”. The phrase came up the first with the whole India Issue with Cyanogen Mod. Back then Cyanogen Mod announced that they will be providing Cyanogen Mod updates only for their global devices. Now it seems like there will be a different OnePlus OS for these “non-global” devices. These devices will be launched with “Hydrogen-Os” or HSOS in short.

In conclusion OnePLus announced two new operating Systems today, one for their global oneplus one devices and one for non global. Oxygen OS and Hydrogen OS, one will be used in China only and one worldwide. How much those two operating systems differ, we cant say yet. One thing is very clear though, it seems like the parnership of Cyanogen MOD and OnePlus is indeed coming to an end. What do you think of Oxygen OS?
