Sharing my experience.
I bought OP12 China version that comes with ColorOS. I read that China model flashed with OxygenOS cannot be updated OTA. So I just give ColorOS a try.
I like that I can uninstall almost every single app (except the essential ones like Phone, Messages, Photos, App Market, etc). I can add them back via Settings -> Apps -> Recover system apps.
I enabled Google Play Services, and Google Playstore gets installed automatically. I don't need to download separate APK. I replaced all app with Google Apps, and all works great. Even Work Profile works fine too. I don't have Android Auto supported player, so couldn't try, but I was able to install it, and it appears in Settings -> Connection & Sharing.
So far so good! Looks like I don't need OxygenOS, since it's just a toned-down version of ColorOS. For RM3.1K with charger and casing, it's very hard to justify for Malaysia set at RM4K++, with no charger.
An update after further use.
1. No notification from Work Profile apps.

2. Work Profile Google Keyboard crashed every now and then.

3. Haptic feedback is nice! Much better than Samsung S24U.
4. Long press power button brings up a dialog in Chinese.

Basically 0.5s to trigger the assistance (Not Google Assistance), and 3s for power off option.
5. The width of this phone is just nice for my hands. It's shorter/narrower than S24U and Pixel 8 Pro.
6. UI responsiveness is far far better than Pixel 8 Pro. No micro stutter.
Anyone use OP 12 Global Set with Work Profile?
