ColorOS is auser interface created byOppo based on theAndroid Open Source Project. Initially,Realme phones used ColorOS until it was replaced byRealme UI in 2020. Realme UI uses some of ColorOS's apps.[2] Starting from theOnePlus 9 series,OnePlus will preinstall ColorOS on all smartphones that are sold in mainlandChina instead ofHydrogenOS (Chinese version ofOxygenOS).[3]
The first version of ColorOS was launched in September 2013. Oppo had released plenty of Android smartphones before then. It was not stock Android, but Oppo did not label it as ColorOS. Over the years, Oppo launched new official versions of the operating system. Major version 4 was skipped due to thesuperstitious nature of the number. To make things less confusing, in 2020 the company revealed that it would adopt the same numbering scheme as mainline Android, and as such, ColorOS jumped from ColorOS 7 to ColorOS 11 with the launch of Android 11.
It was announced that ColorOS, OnePlus' Oxygen OS, and Realme's Realme UI will merge to form a single Android skin that will appear on all OnePlus, Oppo and Realme phones.[4] However these plans were cancelled as the three UI's are being developed on the same codebase, but they are separate.[5]
