OPPO has introduced ColorOS 15, its newest operating system based on Android 15. The announcement was made at the OPPO Developer Conference 2024, and ColorOS 15 will first be available in China. This update comes with a fresh design, exciting features, and smart AI tools aimed at making your smartphone easier and more enjoyable to use.
ColorOS 15: A Lighter, More User-Friendly Design
OPPO describes ColorOS 15 as “super light and comfortable.” The new design uses natural light and shadows to give the phone a clean, modern look. It’s designed not just to be visually appealing but also to feel smoother and more intuitive to navigate. Making the phone easier to use every day.
Key Features of ColorOS 15
One of the standout features of ColorOS 15 is Parallel Animation. This lets multiple windows work at the same time, so you can switch between apps quickly and without delays. OPPO has focused on making sure every swipe and tap responds quickly, giving the phone a fast, efficient feel.
Another key feature is improved motion effects. Whether you’re scrolling through your home screen or using an app, every movement will look and feel smooth. The system has been designed so that both OPPO apps and third-party apps work seamlessly together.
OPPO has worked hard to eliminate performance problems. With ColorOS 15, they promise zero issues like apps crashing, the screen freezing, or touches not registering. This ensures a smooth, hassle-free experience.
For gamers and people who use video calls, ColorOS 15 offers high frame rates. Users can expect an average of 116.7 frames per second (FPS) for smoother gameplay and video chats. In addition, apps now install 26% faster, and third-party photo albums load 50% quicker, so everything feels faster.
Powerful Performance with Dual Engines
ColorOS 15 includes two powerful engines: the Aurora Engine and the Tidal Engine.
The Aurora Engine makes the system faster and more stable. It boosts the phone’s response speed by 18% and improves stability by 40%. Ensuring quick and reliable performance when you use your phone.
The Tidal Engine focuses on processing power. It speeds up tasks like media decoding and file decompression, reducing file decompression times by 12 minutes. This is great for users who often work with large files or handle media.
Super Xiaobu Assistant: Your AI Helper
A major new feature in ColorOS 15 is the Super Xiaobu Assistant, a smart AI assistant that helps you interact with your phone more easily. With just one click, you can ask questions, search the web, or even highlight parts of your screen to get more information.
One of its best features is Photo Q&A. This tool works like an encyclopedia. You can take a picture of something, and the assistant will give you detailed information about it.
Enhanced AI Tools for Photos and Productivity
ColorOS 15 comes with several powerful tools for photography, powered by the AI Image Assistant. One of its standout features is AI Ultra HD Pixels, which lets you zoom in on low-resolution photos and instantly enhance them to 4K quality. This is perfect for fixing blurry or low-quality images.
The system also includes AI Anti-smear and AI De-glare tools. Which remove blur and reflections from your photos, ensuring they look sharp and clear. The AI Pedestrian Removal feature detects and removes unwanted people in the background, making it easier to improve your photos.
For users who rely on their phones for work, ColorOS 15 includes an AI Office Assistant. It can summarize key points from audio or video calls with just one click, manage documents across different formats, and even translate files. The AI Notes feature helps you quickly organize and format your notes for easier management.
OPPO Documents App: Simplifying Document Management
ColorOS 15 also comes with a new Documents App, designed to make managing documents easier. The app allows you to convert files between formats like PDF and Word. It also includes powerful tools for writing, editing, and searching through documents. For people who handle long or complicated documents, the app can even summarize them in seconds, saving you time.
Enhanced Privacy and Security
OPPO has made privacy a priority in ColorOS 15. The system includes the AI Private Computing Cloud, which uses advanced technology to protect your data. OPPO has received industry certifications for their privacy measures, ensuring your personal information stays secure.
The system’s End-Cloud Collaboration feature also enhances security by keeping sensitive data hidden while still allowing necessary access. The AI in ColorOS 15 has been certified with the CCRC 4+ security rating, which guarantees top-level protection for user data.
Better Multitasking and Customization
ColorOS 15 makes multitasking easier with OPPO Mutual Transfer and OPPO Share. Which allow fast file transfers between OPPO devices and iPhones. You can also split your screen to work on two apps at once, or manage apps with the floating window system for easier multitasking.
The design of ColorOS 15 also focuses on personal customization. Users can choose from a variety of customizable themes, adding their own unique style to their phone.
Privacy Features to Keep You Secure
ColorOS 15 introduces several new privacy tools. Smart Clipboard Protection prevents apps from accessing your clipboard without permission, keeping your copied data secure. The Calendar Permission Control feature lets apps add events to your calendar without seeing all your appointments. To keep your inbox organized, the system automatically deletes old verification code messages after seven days.
Availability
So, ColorOS 15 will start rolling out in China in November 2024 for select OPPO and OnePlus devices. A global rollout is expected to follow soon, allowing users worldwide to enjoy the new features. With its combination of smart AI tools, fast performance, and strong privacy protection, ColorOS 15 aims to provide a smoother, smarter smartphone experience for all users.
