OPPO's ColorOS system has begun to undergo earth-shaking changes, starting with ColorOS 6. ColorOS system has become the core competitiveness of OPPO smart phones, and the label of "fast, stable and economical" is becoming more and more obvious on ColorOS, especially after the two versions of ColorOS 7 and ColorOS 1 1 are updated. ColorOS has come to the first echelon of the Android camp in terms of system fluency, aesthetics and ease of use, which is beyond doubt.
On September 6/kloc-0, the long-brewing OPPO coloros12 system officially met with us at the oppo autumn new product launch conference. ColorOS 12 adopts a new design of comfort and noise reduction, which further upgrades privacy and security, and also brings a functional experience of full scene integration. In addition, a series of innovative upgrades, such as free floating windows, smart sidebar 2.0 and quick browsing cards, have made the ColorOS system easier to use.
Not much to say. Let's enter the evaluation experience of OPPO ColorOS 12 new system!
The first part: The design upgrade 20 19 is carried out on the ColorOS 6 system for the first time. OPPO began to try to apply the borderless design concept, which made the visual style change of ColorOS 6 particularly obvious. Now borderless has become the iconic design language of ColorOS, and it is elegant to describe it in a more intuitive language.
OPPO ColorOS 12 system is no exception. The brand-new borderless design first brings the acrylic icon, which continues the geometric, regular and modern design style of ColorOS, and at the same time introduces the translucent acrylic material, resulting in a very calm and comfortable visual experience.
Of course, if you don't like this style, the ColorOS 12 system also provides highly customized options, including icon size, shape, fillet size and content size (application name text). The setting method is also very simple. Press a blank space on the desktop for a long time, or zoom out the screen with two fingers, and you can call up the corresponding settings.
In addition to icon settings, such as icon layout, there are many options, including 3x5, 3x6, 4x5, 5x6, 5x5 and so on.
The wallpaper of OPPO ColorOS is also worth mentioning. Besides the traditional static and dynamic wallpaper, art+wallpaper is really great. There are hundreds of artistic wallpapers for users to choose from, some are landscapes, some are abstractions and concepts, and each one is very artistic and aesthetic. It is updated every Thursday. I have to say that the aesthetic of OPPO is really always online.

The comfortable impression brought by OPPO ColorOS 12 system is also inseparable from the design concept of "noise reduction". OPPO creates a more concise page layout by optimizing the color and information density of components. Because of the optimization of information density, when users look at these icons and words with naked eyes, they will not feel reading pressure because of too much information on the page.

Another obvious change is the brand-new quick look card. These card services cover different kinds of cards, including weather, notes, clocks, contacts, equipment information and other systems, as well as intelligent car search, express information, surrounding shops and other service cards.

ColorOS 12' s glance card can appear on the negative screen or be set on the home page, which is somewhat similar to the widget of iOS and provides three sizes. In addition, the official said that the card service is also open to third-party developers. The first cards launched include Xiaohongshu, Sina Weibo, Zhihu, Netease Cloud Music and iQiyi.
OPPO ColorOS 12 system has upgraded Infinite Information Screen 2.0, which brings more artists to choose from, and also supports setting your Omoji avatar as an information screen.
Part II: Function upgrade Omoji is a highlight function of ColorOS 12. According to the official description, the face capture algorithm creates a high-precision 3D model based on 50 core expression databases. Omoji includes 10 skin color, hairstyle, eyes and nose.
Image features, *** 200+ fashion elements and emoji, you can apply these Omoji in OPPO account, and even show them in video calls of WeChat, Tencent conference and Zoom.

Because the upgraded version of ColorOS 12 has not yet launched the Omoji function, it will not be demonstrated for the time being.
Another function upgrade is multi-screen interconnection. This is a "system-level" integrated solution brought by OPPO. After the mobile phone and the computer are connected through "cross-screen interconnection", the computer can control the mobile phone.
This function is similar to Huawei's multi-screen collaboration, but the difference is that Huawei is limited to Huawei devices (of course, you can support third-party devices in a more complicated way, but frankly the experience is not good). ColorOS 12 brings the advantage of multi-screen interconnection, which is compatible with mainstream brands in the market.
In terms of experience, the connection mode of OPPO multi-screen interconnection is also very simple. The PC (currently only supports Win) downloads the multi-screen interconnection application, and the mobile phone opens the multi-screen interconnection to search for the corresponding device connection. The experience is basically the same as Huawei's multi-screen collaboration, such as fast backup of documents between mobile phones and PCs, rapid control of mobile phones by computer keyboards and mice, notification of enjoyment, and so on.
OPPO multi-screen interconnection also supports multi-screen editing of files. After clicking on the computer, the documents in the mobile phone can be opened directly through the office software of the computer, and automatically saved back to the mobile phone after editing. In addition, the mobile phone can also pop up a notification reminder on the computer side, and provide a button for quick saving.
However, OPPO multi-screen interconnection does not support multiple App windows to be opened at the same time. In addition, there is a slight delay when it is connected to the computer. I hope that OPPO can be optimized and upgraded in the later stage. Of course, the function of OPPO cross-screen interconnection has just been launched, and no one can eat a fat man in one bite. We should know that Huawei's multi-screen collaboration is getting better and better after several major version updates.
Since 20 19, OPPO's Internet of Things ecosystem has made rapid progress. Bracelets, watches, televisions, headphones and even 5G CPE have captured the favor of many consumers, and more and more smart devices are connected with mobile phones. In order to better control these smart devices, ColorOS 12 adds a unified management center for smart devices. From here, you can view and control the smart devices on your mobile phone conveniently and quickly. You can view the status of smart devices, remotely control the operation of turning on and off the TV, and even bind Li ONE to realize the operation of locking the car, air conditioning and finding the car.

Part III: Experience Upgrade In the upgrade of ColorOS 12, Intelligent Sidebar 2.0 brings more scene functions, including intelligent subtitles, commodity price comparison, reading articles, recognizing background music, shorthand in small windows, listening to dramas, etc.
Smart Sidebar 2.0
With the addition of these six utilities, the comprehensive experience of ColorOS 12 is more full. Take intelligent subtitles as an example. For example, in video conferencing and voice calls, it is not convenient to answer. You can completely convert the voice into subtitles through intelligent subtitles and present them on the screen.
For example, when chasing American TV series, you can realize real-time translation with the help of intelligent subtitles.
Intelligent subtitle
The price of goods is also very important. When buying some big items, different merchants often have different prices at different times. Are you worried that you will buy expensive ones? Through the smart sidebar 2.0, you can call up the price comparison options, help you find the one with good quality and low price, and also provide the option to get coupons. Of course, it would be better if the historical price could be added later.
Commodity parity rate
Of course, friends who are not ColorOS 12 users don't have to be envious. After all, there are soft media products that will buy the most apps. In addition to historical prices, things can also be cashed back (app store search will buy the most and know everything).
In ColorOS 12, Flash was renamed as "free floating window", and the application can smoothly switch between full screen, small window (interactive) and mini window (view only).
Free floating window
In terms of privacy protection, ColorOS 12 has also upgraded many points, including application behavior recording, photo security sharing, sensitive permission reminding, fuzzy positioning and so on. Take "photo security sharing" as an example. When sharing pictures or videos through photo albums, you can choose to delete the location information and data of the pictures and videos without worrying about the risk of privacy disclosure.
In addition, the original remote guardian of ColorOS has now been upgraded to a family space, and members can enjoy functions such as photo album, family schedule, message board and remote assistance. Among them, remote assistance can remotely check family mobile phones and help parents solve the problem of using mobile phones.
In addition to the above-mentioned upgraded functions, ColorOS 12 also brings earthquake warning, accessibility 2.0, and the function of automatically sending medical emergency information to the emergency center when making emergency calls, so I won't go into details here.
Finally, I will talk about some hidden upgrades of ColorOS 12: quantum animation engine 3.0 and AI self-streaming engine 2.0.
According to the official description, Quantum Animation Engine 3.0 introduced the concept of "quality" for the first time on ColorOS 12, and improved animation with 300+ to help you find the physical feeling of the real world.
As far as my subjective feeling is concerned, the animation of ColorOS 12 is more delicate and realistic. Take the up-down sliding interface as an example, you will feel the continuity of sliding, which is nonlinear. How much force you use to slide the screen, what kind of sliding animation will the screen give you according to this force. And sliding to the end, the screen scrolling will not come to an abrupt end, but slowly slide to the end like sliding soap in the shower, and then rebound.
These subtle dynamic changes can be felt in such scenes as dragging a free-floating window, zooming the camera and sliding backwards.
Note: GIF images are slightly dropped, which cannot fully represent the real sliding effect.
According to official data, based on AI Auto-Smooth Engine 2.0, the memory occupation of mobile phones is reduced by 30%, the background power consumption is reduced by 20%, the average battery life of mobile phones is increased by 12%, and it also brings smooth escort for 36 months.
Summary: This update of ColorOS 12 always * * brings new functions and upgrades of 100+. It is the addition of these new functions that enriches the experience of ColorOS, such as cross-screen interconnection, car+car connection, unified management center of smart devices, etc., and also facilitates the interconnection between OPPO smart devices.
Of course, behind the upgrade of functional experience, more is OPPO's thinking about humanistic care. System service hardware is also the basis of user experience. How to make users feel calm and comfortable when using this system, how to use this system to alleviate users' tension and anxiety when facing a large amount of information in this electronic wasteland era, and how to further break the information island state of smart phones ... This is OPPO's view on ColorOS.
Fortunately, on the brand-new ColorOS 12, we have seen OPPO's efforts in this regard, with many functions but not miscellaneous, calm and orderly icon text, fast system interaction and convenient cross-screen interconnection ... which not only ensures the overall functional experience, but also cares about every subtle feeling of users. It is a good system worth upgrading.
