Update: OnePlus has confirmed this leak isn't its OxygenOS. Staff member Carl Pei took to the firm's forums to debunk the leak, stating: "Guys, this isn't OxygenOS. Have faith in that we understand our users better than what these leaks suggest."

Just a few days ago OnePlus announced its new Android-based operating system, OxygenOS, which is set to replace CyanogenMod in the company's upcoming phones, including the OnePlus 2.

Now we've caught our first glimpse at what the ROM may look like, as GizmoChina has received alleged images of OxygenOS in action.

Assuming the pictures are legitimate it seems that OxygenOS will have a clean look with a flat design. Going by one of the screens, which is likely the app drawer, apps appear to be sorted into categories with different colour splashes highlighting the divides.

Simply the best?

The other images seem to show various lock screens, each with a different colourful abstract background and a simplistic weather display, showing just the temperature.

Although OnePlus is seemingly going for a minimalist design here it seems likely that the weather icon would be a bit more informative than that, which suggests this isn't a final version of the software, so even assuming the images are real it could well change before launch.

So far it certainly looks stylish, but fans of CyanogenMod may not appreciate the change and with just the app drawer and lock screen on display there's still a lot left to see.

In announcing the ROM it was revealed that the OxygenOS name was suggested by a OnePlus forum member and chosen because "as an element, Oxygen is the epitome of simplicity, yet it's also extraordinarily powerful." With these images we've seen the simplicity, now we just need to see the power.
