Find all the innovations introduced by OPPO with the ColorOS 12 in the dedicated article. Summarizing the main changes, the ColorOS team updated the aesthetic language, revising some aesthetic components of the UI. The animations have been improved, as well as the AI ​​engine that drives its performance, to the advantage of fluidity and the impact on the available resources.

Among the new features, we find improvements for FlexDrop, Smart SideBar 2.0, PC Connect for mirroring on PC, connection with cars and more. OPPO also introduced its Omoji, custom avatars to use for photos and video calls.

One of the cornerstones of Android 12, and therefore of ColorOS 12, is the sector that binds security and privacy. A topic is always very dear to OPPO, which already in the current versions of ColorOS uses various features to protect its users. In the new version of Android, we will see new implementations, such as the possibility of using an approximate GPS position.

A useful function to return “disguised” geolocation in the form of a generic area to all those apps that we believe does not need to know our exact position. Another important novelty will be the indicator for the microphone and camera which will help you know when an app is using them. Furthermore, users will be able to instantly know if an app is having access to the microphone, camera and GPS location.

Compatible models and release date

With the announcement of ColorOS 12, OPPO has also published the roadmap that will bring the major update to compatible smartphones. Here is the complete list, although we remind you that it may change over time (in case, we will update).

Furthermore, we would like to point out that if for a model it is indicated that ColorOS 12 has been “Released“, this does not mean that it is everywhere. OPPO usually releases major updates first in Asia and then in the rest of the world, so it could take weeks if not months between the Asian and Global releases.
