I am considering to get the CN version and I am curious is there any list on what features are lacking/not working compared to Global ROM?
*
1. Google Timeline not support
2. No 6Ghz support on Wi-Fi 6E or 7
3. No eSIM support
4. No Google smart unlock (body, location & bluetooth unlock) but have smart lock (only support bluetooth devices). However, Google smart unlock max is 4 hours but ColorOS smart lock no restriction.

Currently using ColorOS instead of OxygenOS due to faster OTA & more features.

Just got myself another unit last week.

I just want to know if OTA works with Color OS on the CN version?
OTA arrive on your Color OS without problem right? Any delay or missed notification on Color OS?

OTA can be updated with no issue in ColorOS.

No msg delay as long as you get it running background set properly. Just few clicks, simple task.

High power consumption on
Autostart on & other permissions.

That would depend on how fast and how lucky you are. Grabbing the voucher is easy but applying during checkout is the challenge.

Yup. If your finger fast enough, sure no issue.

From the recent posts, it seems like the CN ROM version isn't too bad. The tradeoffs are somewhat made up by the significantly lower pricing.

Really regret missing out on a superb deal during 6.6 @ Lazada:

No worry, 7.7 is coming. Mine no coins to deduct or else may be lower than 1.5k.

OP13 CN version definitely the best & cheaper SD8 Elite all-rounder phone in the market, beside iQOO 13 CN version.

i saw the Global ROM price at around Rm4k++ for 16+512gb , huge price compared to China ROM LOL ,  and some Laz/Shopee Seller that mention the oneplus 13 they sold was done "FLASH" to oxygenos OS , i do read some on reddit that if flash to Oxygen OS then each time OTA have to re-format the phone , or ROOTING the phone to get the OTA , but might sacrifice banking-apps because bank apps might detect your phone rooted and not able to use. That make me confuse a little bit so i'm here to looking for the answer.

Yes. It flashed with OxygenOS but OTA function is disable, you will see no network connection when enter the update section.

Banking apps are not affected even if you're rooted as long as you get the KernelSU Next & its components updated & running well. So far banking apps I tried (HLB, PBB, MBB, UOB & CIMB), even e-Wallets app (TNG, Grab & Boost).

You can always use unlock the bootloader again, flash back to ColorOS & lock the bootloader if you want hassle free. I found no advantages using OyxgenOS beside bunch of bloatwares needed to be remove in ColorOS. Performance wise, it's almost identical plus faster OTA.

Owh , that the answer i would like to heard !!

so basically if the china rom flashed to oxygenOS , then the phone i use wont ever receive OTA anymore right ?  biggrin.gif  Base on your explanation , mean that each time there is OTA update , i have to go xda to download the latest OTA and manually flash to the phone? If without doingt his , then i will be using the same firmware until the phone rosak right  laugh.gif
People who wish to flashed to OxygenOS is just to get those Google Assistant active? As i know China Rom can't active the "hello google" , i believe the OxygenOS can be use right as its consider as "GLOBAL" Rom. And also might can be use the AI feature in the phone due to china ROM might not able to use some AI feature in here as it cloud base , like the china IQOO i;m using something will miss connect to the cloud base to china while using the AI function.

The china version with OxygenOS bootloader is locked, so you cannot flash it manually unless you unlock the bootloader. In order to do this, your data will be wiped everytime bootloader is locked or unlocked.

As long as you know the steps, OTA manually is quite simple just not that convenient as doing on the phone itself.

ColorOS comes with Breeno (小布) & OriginOS is BlueLMCopilot (小v), both is powerful enough to do most the tasks that other AI tools can do with better integration with the OS itself, unlike Gemini AI which is works better in Pixel phones with full features.

Now it make me more understand , no wonder i keep on read the comment on reddit saying that if want to OTA then have to wipe the data everytime. So anyway to update the OTA without needed to Wipe the data?
Yes i'm using the 小v , just that sometime it will need sometime to load to give me answer as it need connect to china cloud base , sometime might get Network error and fail to give answer  laugh.gif  , now i using chatgpt & Gemini more as it can give me more faster answer , just need to enter the apps to get my answer each time , more steps , but it work 100%  biggrin.gif

If next time i would like to try Oppo/Oneplus , definitely just use their ColorOS15 instead of flash to Oxygen OS.
*
The only way to OTA without wipe data is rooted & bootloader unlocked. No other way, for OxygenOS. If you are OK with ColorOS then no need, everything is working fine included OTA.

For Breeno AI, there is slight delay on response due to server located in China. It depends on your ISP routing, so far UNIFI & UMobile is working fine for me, for sure not as fast as Gemini or ChatGPT.

Hey, I recently bought the China version flashed to OOS on version 15.0.0.305(EX01). Everything went pretty well but the banking apps like MAE or Cimb Octo loads ridiculously slow (compare with my previous OP11 on OOS as well). It will load eventually but there seems to be huge delay every time I launch the app.

Do you experience the same? Any further insights will be much appreciated. Thanks.
*
OOS 15.0.0.305(EX01) version is the version that preloaded by CN version, I didn't use this because I already restored all back to COS latest version, has no issue with the MAE & CIMB app with lock bootloader.

I think u should update to latest OOS before you setup u phone, now if u do u have to wipe data & redo all again, or just settled down with the slow app issues but do u think it's MAE or CIMB app issue or OOS itself if other apps running fine? biggrin.gif

What email apps you guys use? I notice my hotmail have issues with notification when i use gmail app. Need to open the app before the email come in , eventhough i already set the necessary autolaunch/ enable background in settings.

Tested the hotmail account on the phone's default mail app and the notifications are coming in with no problem.

Don't think it's setting issue because Gmail all the while has issue in getting Hotmail sync on times. It's more like on & off has issue, better get Outlook app for Hotmail account.
