OnePlus will soon release the next version of it's highly successful Android skin Oxygen OS. This will be the 11th major version of the OS. Developer preview build is expected to arrive on August 10th according to OnePlus. It will be based on Android 11 and supposedly have fresh design elements and highly anticipated features.
OxygenOS always stood out for its clean user interface that's inspired by stock Android, with the skin likened to Google's Pixel Launcher on steroids. That's changing with OxygenOS 11 as OnePlus introduces a new design language that's more in line with Samsung's One UI than Pixel and Android One phones.
With OxygenOS 11, OnePlus has shifted to a heavily skinned interface that looks very different to what you get on vanilla Android, with the manufacturer taking a lot of design cues from Samsung. A lot of the menu elements now sit in the lower 2/3rd section of the screen, and the large headers along with the increased font size makes the skin near-identical to One UI.
