I was wondering the same while I was making my purchase decision a month ago. When choosing a new smartphone, we often take into account the battery life first and in my case, it is the first criteria. Being in the online industry to conduct research over phone and switching between apps are fundamental. We measure a phone’s autonomy by how long it can function between battery charges. Despite some changes in the software as of 2022, Oxygen OS still remains an extremely popular Android OS. It is worth mentioning that the latest OxygenOS release comes with new features and designs as well.
Oxygen OS has the best battery backup for smartphones as per reports. The battery lasts up to 11 hours with Oxygen OS as per reports. There have been no official announcements from OnePlus regarding battery drain issues with its smartphones. Hopefully, developers will keep their OS update as often as necessary and provide solutions when necessary.
Over the past two years, Oxygen OS has become the world’s most popular operating system. Most major manufacturers offer it because of its simplicity, excellent battery life, fluid interface, and availability.
In addition, to having good mail and social networking capabilities, Oxygen OS Android devices often come with buttery smooth touchscreens, and there are also many apps to choose from. One major flaw is that manufacturers tend to delay sending software updates to their devices, causing it to take a long time to be updated
Recently, OnePlus has made a monumental statement regarding software updates for its forthcoming line of devices, promising Oxygen OS users about OS update. For a limited time in 2023, OnePlus will guarantee 4 important OxygenOS upgrades and also 5 years of security fixes for select smartphones which in turn will improve the battery life as well. According to reports, OnePlus 11 pro will offer OxygenOS 13 and receive major software updates and security patches for at least 4 years after it launches on February 7 at the company’s Cloud 11 event.
