OnePlus Explains New Changes For OxygenOS 11; Samsung One UI Resemblance Is Incidental

OnePlus will be rolling out its new OxygenOS 11 update to all eligible devices soon and it recently gave us an early look at the revamped user interface through a beta update. While the new changes do look appealing and add a modern touch to the OS, a lot of users pointed out resemblances with Samsung’s One UI.

The smartphone maker has now come up with an explanation giving relevant details and the thought process behind the implementation of the new UI design. According to OnePlus, stock Android is a good starting point but adding more features on top makes the experience far better. One of the most important factors that OnePlus considered while working on the new OxygenOS update is how the increasing real-estate of displays is changing the way we use our phones. “As screens increase in size, so does the unused white space. We wanted to make the most of that space while keeping the interface easy to use,” said OnePlus in a forum post.
