After its early January, China-exclusive launch, the OnePlus 10 Pro is finally coming to more regions. The company announced at Mobile World Congress 2022 that its latest flagship is coming to the US, Europe, and India "by the end of March." It also reversed its decision to launch the phone in these markets with the unified OS it developed with OPPO. OnePlus confirmed that "global OnePlus devices will continue to run OxygenOS," while their China counterparts will stick to ColorOS.

The OnePlus 10 Pro will launch with OxygenOS 12.1, but it will soon receive the OxygenOS 13 update. OnePlus emphasized that the OxygenOS and ColorOS share a "clean and lightweight" unified OS codebase, but OxygenOS gets a "lighter" stock Android experience to appeal to global users.
