OPPO officially released the new ColorOS 12 system today, bringing a burden-free and comfortable experience with smart technology. At the design level, ColorOS 12 adopts the borderless concept to completely redesign the icons and interface, making them look and feel more relaxed and realistic. In terms of interactive experience, it brings the latest quantum animation engine, coupled with the self-developed AI self-smooth engine, to bring users more extreme lasting smoothness.
The newly-added cross-screen interconnection, smart sidebar, Car+car linkage and a series of practical functions make ColorOS 12’s functions and usage scenarios more complete. ColorOS’s powerful privacy and security functions have also been further improved, providing users with more knowable and controllable security protection through functions such as application behavior recording, safe photo sharing, and permission reminders.
ColorOS 12 redesigned the entire set of system icons based on the design proposition of realism and noise reduction. The light and shadow effects of acrylic material are used to enhance the texture of the icons and introduce real-world elements, which can help users identify icon types more quickly. At the same time, ColorOS 12 redefines information density. Through the design of white space processing, text contrast enhancement, and color brightness and darkness, it helps users to obtain the required information faster, reduces reading pressure, and enhances the comfort of long-term use.
ColorOS 12 has upgraded the well-received quick overview function with a quick overview card design. Through 44 card services, users can obtain the real-time key information of high-frequency applications at a glance, such as Xiaobu suggestion cards that can intelligently remind users of Flight information; parking card can automatically record the parking location; the device lights up the card to see the real-time power of earphones, watches and other devices at a glance.
In addition, ColorOS 12 also brings a brand new avatar system-Omoji, which can provide a very high degree of custom style options, and supports the combination of more personalized avatars. The Omoji avatar can be used not only in the system’s account avatar and screen display, but also in WeChat video calls, Tencent meetings, ZOOM, and DingTalk applications to achieve more interesting video communication.
The leading Omoji uses the photon vision engine developed by OPPO to abstract more than 20,000 face grid points into 50 groups of expression bases, which can accurately map the movement of each muscle, whether the user is twisting his head sharply or speaking. Changes and eyebrow changes can be accurately restored in the image of Omoji.
ColorOS 12 also brings an upgrade in terms of functional ease of use. The newly designed free-floating window function allows the application to switch smoothly between full screen, small window and mini window by simply dragging and dropping with simple gestures. Task parallel processing efficiency. Smart Sidebar 2.0 adds 6 new utility tools and supports scene-based smart responses. For example, when users are shopping on an e-commerce platform, the Smart Sidebar will recommend recognition and price comparison functions to help them choose more affordable products.
Smart Sidebar 2.0 also supports WeChat applets for the first time, allowing WeChat functions such as health codes and ride codes to be permanently located in a readily accessible location. In addition, the brand-new shared atlas function allows users to be unlimited when transferring photos on WeChat, and will not cause the images to expire or become unavailable because they are not downloaded in time.
ColorOS 12 further enhances the experience of multi-device integration. The newly-added cross-screen interconnection function allows you to use all mobile phone functions on the computer with one-click IGRS, such as using mobile phone WeChat, Douyin, takeaway and other applications on the computer, and there is no need to work between the computer and the mobile phone.
Files and data between devices can also be quickly shared. In addition to the extremely fast mutual transmission of up to 45M/S, you can also edit the documents received by the mobile phone directly on the computer. In addition, cross-screen interconnection has a very high degree of adaptability, supporting most mainstream-brand computers on the market with Windows 10 and above.
In terms of car-machine interconnection, the newly added car-machine projection screen supports multiple third-party applications, such as Kuwo Music, Himalayas, Baidu Maps, Gaode Maps, etc., and can be quickly managed in my device functions. Smoothness has always been the focus of OPPO focus. ColorOS12 has an AI self-fluid engine from research, which effectively reduces fragmentation by processing hot and cold data separately.
After OPPO laboratory testing, with this set of technology, when the simulated mobile phone is continuously used for 36 months, the performance degradation of reading and writing is less than 5%, and the overall comprehensive aging rate is only 2.75%. The AI self-smooth engine can also make priority recommendations for applications according to users’ different machine habits, so as to be truly smooth and power-saving.
Thanks to the latest design science and technical engineering, ColorOS has upgraded the new quantum animation engine 3.0, adopted more than 300 improved animations, and introduced the quality concept of mechanics for the first time to achieve dynamic effects in line with real-world physics. The new animation will be able to simulate the physical habits of resistance, inertia, and rebound, making the overall experience more in line with the cognition and habits of the human brain, and each sliding movement is more realistic and smooth, and intuitionistic.
When the increasingly complex Internet environment meets the ever-increasing demand for personal security and privacy, ColorOS12 also improves the security and privacy functions with high specifications. When a third-party application calls the user’s microphone, camera, and geographic location, the sensitive permission call reminder will be prominently prompted in the status bar to prevent the third-party application from improperly obtaining user data.
At the same time, ColorOS 12 provides refined authority management, allowing users to understand and manage application authorization in more detail. Among them, clipboard permissions can help users intuitively understand which third-party applications will read their own clipboard content, and guard their private information in a more comprehensive manner.
When sharing a photo, the personal information contained in the photo is also very likely to be stolen. Therefore, a secure sharing function has been added to ColorOS 12, which can erase sensitive information and data in the photo. Even if the original image is uploaded, there is no fear of privacy leakage. At the same time, this function also supports the safe sharing of videos.
The new ColorOS 12 will be pushed to hundreds of models at home and abroad, among which the Find X3 Pro Photographer Edition is the first model equipped with ColorOS 12. Find X3 series and a plus 9 Series will be held in October to open a limited beta upgrade, FindX2 series, Reno6 series will be held in November to open a limited beta upgrade, Reno5 series, K9, A95, A93, Ace2 series, will be a plus 8 December Open the limited upgrade public beta. This upgrade plan will cover about 150 million users, which is the largest upgrade in the history of ColorOS 12. At the same time, OPPO also promised to bring three major Android version upgrades and four years of update maintenance for flagship series users.
