If users pursue long-term stable use of mobile phones, they need to register carefully.

In addition, the ColorOS12 system further strengthens privacy protection. When sensitive permissions such as recording and camera are invoked, a green dominant icon will appear in the upper right corner of the status bar to remind (green dots, while pulling down the notification bar will display a green application icon).

OPPO pointed out that within two days after the upgrade, a series of adaptation and optimization actions will be carried out in the background of the system, which may cause the phone to heat up, freeze, and consume power quickly. It is recommended that users restart the phone after the screen is off and charge for 2 hours after the upgrade, or it will recover by itself after a period of normal use.
