With the official introduction of Android 12 from Google, all the different manufacturers are starting to test it, including OPPO in the form of ColorOS 12. OPPO has partnered with entities like Xiaomi, OnePlus, Vivo and others to work closely with Google developers to improve the smartphone’s software experience.
The new version of Android has been shown off at Google I/O 2021, and the company has officially released the first developer preview of the OPPO Find X3 Pro. And after the official announcement, let’s see which smartphones will receive the update.
OPPO announces ColorOS 12: Here are the new features of Android 12
Find all the innovations introduced by OPPO with ColorOS 12 in a dedicated article. Summarizing the main changes, the ColorOS team has updated the aesthetic language, reviewing some of the aesthetic components of the UI. They have improved animations, as well as an AI engine that drives their performance, to take advantage of fluidity and impact on available resources.
Among the new features, we find improvements in Soft Cast, Smart Sidebar 2.0, PC Connect for PC mirroring, connected cars and more. OPPO has also introduced its own Omoji, a custom avatar for photos and video calls.
One of the cornerstones of Android 12, and therefore of ColorOS 12, is the binding of security and privacy. A topic that OPPO has always taken very seriously, it has used various features in the current version of ColorOS to protect its users. In new versions of Android, we’ll see new implementations such as being able to leverage a GPS approximate location.
A useful function to return a “fake” geographic location in the form of a generic area to people we don’t think need to know our exact location All applications. Another big innovation will be the microphone and camera indicators which will help you know when apps are using them. Additionally, users will be able to instantly know if the application has access to the microphone, camera and GPS location.
Compatible Models and Release Dates
With the release of ColorOS 12, OPPO has also released a roadmap that will bring a major update to compatible smartphones. Here’s the full list, although we caution you that it may change over time (we’ll update just in case).
Furthermore, we would like to point out that if ColorOS 12 is released for one model, it does not mean that it is everywhere. OPPO typically releases major updates in Asia first and then the rest of the world, so it can take weeks or even months between the Asian and global releases.
