Ever since OnePlus 7 Pro came out, I was quite overwhelmed by OnePlus innovation. Especially, the 90 Hz refresh rate and the oxygen OS on OnePlus 7 Pro has transformed the user experience into the next level.
Now speaking about Oxygen OS, it is a OnePlus made android skin that runs only on OnePlus smartphones, which means it cannot be installed on any other android device.
But hey, with the introduction of Project treble, now you can run oxygen OS on any compatible hardware & that completely depends on the developer.
That being said, a well-known developer from XDA has ported an Oxygen OS port for Redmi K20 Pro from OnePlus 7 Pro. Thanks to SOC on REDMI k20 pro which indeed made it possible to run oxygen OS as smooth as it can. As of now, the oxygen OS is in the alpha stage, which means it won’t work as intended and You may expect some bugs, which would encounter while using this phone as a daily driver.
Bugs:
- Front Camera Issue. Every time you reboot the phone the front camera may pop out. You need to turn it off, every time with Motor Control App
- Bluetooth Won’t Work with Audio Modules
