OnePlus to release HydrogenOS ROM on May 28

Chinese renowned smartphone manufacturer, OnePlus, has announced that it will release the Chinese variant of its OxygenOS ROM, HydrogenOS, on May 28. Based on Android 5.0 Lollipop, the HydrogenOS will be a lightweight operating system focused on performance and battery life.

Since it's based on Lollipop, you may think that it'll look like vanilla Android, but it won't. According to the company, HydrogenOS features some tweaks and tricks to differentiate it from vanilla Android. In the Chinese market today, there're lots of iOS lookalikes, but OnePlus CEO, Pete Lau, maintains that HydrogenOS won't look like that, in fact, its looks will be entirely new and different.
