OXYGENOS TO INTEGRATE DUO INTO DIALER

New Delhi, Feb. 17: Duo and Allo were initially announced back in 2016. While the Google Assistant-infused messaging application didn’t receive much love, the video calling platform gained a lot of popularity. It has over one billion downloads and 3 million mostly positive reviews on the Google Play Store. It even comes built-in to most Android devices.

Google has also integrated it in the Phone application. As far as we’re concerned, none of the device manufacturers followed the lead, until now.

Today, OnePlus announced that Duo will be officially integrated into OxygenOS’ dialer, contacts, and messaging apps.

As the company describes, the reasoning behind the decision is that Duo received the highest ranking in a call quality study. Because of this, Duo will now be a first-party video calling solution on the OnePlus 3/3T, OnePlus 5/5T, and OnePlus 6/6T.
