These were OnePlus alternatives to the name of OxygenOS UI

Initially, OnePlus relied on a partnership with Cyanogen, launching its first smartphone with CyanogenMod. But then there was a break in relations. Therefore, the company had to hire developers to present its Android-based user interface in 2015. For Chinese versions of smartphones, it was called HydrogenOS, and for global versions – OxygenOS.

But before finding a name, the company searched for the most successful naming before the OxygenOS variant was finally approved. The staff went through several other namings, including even the banal OnePlus ROM.

Now, the company plunged into history and on its Twitter page published the different names that the branded user interface could receive. It turned out that names such as Opus, Nomad OS, CosmOS, StratOS, Carbon and ElementOS were considered. There were also more interesting names: Karma, Muse and DaVinci.

Why in the end all options were swept aside, and the choice fell on OxygenOS, the company did not announce. Most likely, it wanted to evoke an association with the fact that the OxygenOS interface is like a new breath of air, which is not much different from the original version of Android.

But, there is a possibility that with the arrival of OxygenOS 11, whose announcement may take place in September, the developers will change their strategy. The design of the interface will be close to Samsung’s One UI. We have previously talked about the changes that will occur with OxygenOS 11.

Presumably, HydrogenOS 11 (OxygenOS 11) will debut on the OnePlus 8T line of smartphones in a couple of months. While the current OnePlus 8 smartphone will get the stable update by the end of the year.

Recall that recently, OnePlus has revealed its mid-range smartphone OnePlus Nord, the smartphone has excellent specs and a good design at an affordable price, and here is a reminder of its main specifications:
