Android 11 has been an opportunity for smartphone makers to improve their software once again, and with many manufacturers, it's not just about incorporating Google's optimizations and improvements. With ColorOS 11, Oppo has gone for personalization and personalization.
For Oppo, it is about incorporating improvements that it believes will benefit its users the most. Whether it puts precise control over the look and sound of your phone or includes apps such as Relax, which can help you tune in and last a few minutes in your day.
Release date
- September 2020 announced
- Starting December 2020
As with any major software update, the release staggers between device ranges at different times. The publicly available ColorOS 11 drop will start to hit the phone in December 2020 and includes the X2 and Find X2 Pro.
Other phone series and lower-powered models in the Find X2 series will have to wait until 2021.
Features
While a new system update is hidden under the surface in the form of a lot of customizations and other improvements, there are still plenty of user updates. You can see all the important highlights below.
Privatization
Wallpaper, System Theme and Color
Opto's new software has a new customization page that controls to customize many elements of your phone's appearance.
You can choose the size and shape of your app icon, as well as the style for the dropdown quick settings. Apart from this, you can also choose the accent color of the system. This is the color that appears throughout the system on things like the settings menu icon, toggle switch, and other labels.
When it comes to wallpaper, Oppo has made the underlying options practically endless, giving you the ability to create the wallpaper on your own.
There are set styles and graphics, but you can choose a color scheme to take a photo or use your camera and choose the primary color from it. So if you want it to match your day's outfits, you can take a photo of what you're wearing and choose a wallpaper that matches your day's outfits.
Dark theme
If you think a simple dark mode on/off feature was enough, then Oppo sets you up to show that we need different degrees of darkness.
With ColorOS 11 you can choose between enhanced dark, medium and soft themes with contrast and dark levels adjusted for each.
Enhanced is where the background is completely black, with pixels off in the AMOLED panels, and the color and white reflections are still quite bright and bright. The medium has a dark gray background with less contrast, while the cool mode has a lighter gray and more suppressed colors.
You can turn on and off the time you want, and you can also manually select your sunrise / sunset time, so it is not automatically selected based on your location and time of year.
Oppo Sans
Oppo Sans is the company's latest font and probably the most customizable we've seen from any Android manufacturer. It comes with options to adjust the size, but the ability to adjust its weight with many different thicknesses is also available.
If you are the type of person who is not completely happy with the size, thickness, or adjustment of the text in your smartphone's menu and app, it will suit you.
Always-on display
Android phones have always used the display for years. Some manufacturers have used it more than others, but it seems that 2020 is about making it more customizable and offering a lot more in terms of customization.
With the Oppo version, you can decide the color scheme and style. But more than this: you can create your own animation. It uses a system-generated algorithm to give you a basic pattern template, but you can decide how it moves and how detailed this pattern is by swiping your finger across the screen.
Sounds, ringtones, and relax
Ringtone generation
ColorOS 11 is not just about custom images, it can create ringtones for you. The generator gives you the ability to select a mood and rhythm for the music, and then adjust and adjust the sequence and tempo of the notes until you find the pitch you are looking for.
This means that you no longer have to choose from a limited, and almost always awesome, list of ringtones that you would normally find. You can generate one to suit your needs.
Warning tone sequence
A producer loves seeing how ringtones and alerts make us feel, and also shows that it replicates the ringtone and alert tones. Instead of repeating the same note over and over again or disturbing everyone in the earrings, Oppo has come up with a cool feature that will play a sequence of notes.
This means that if you suddenly receive a cascade of messages, each alert will play one after the other, but it will play as a musical phrase or melody instead of repeating the same jingle each time.
Music - Relax App Themes
One of the surprisingly cool features on some recent Oppo phones is the Relax app, which is filled with cool ambient soundtracks of waterfalls, storms, rain, sea and forests. In ColorOS 11, Oppo has partnered with Musicity to add it to its library.
The company traveled to various cities around the world, capturing real audio from all those cities to create sounds that represented those locations. With the new version of Relax, you can take yourself to Helsinki or Reykjavik, or many other cities and cities.
Translate with three fingers
Oppo was keen to let us know when it announced its deep integration and partnership with Google, and it extends an improved screenshot feature that can translate any text on the screen.
Using one of Oppo's current gestures, where you swipe down with three fingers, you can take a screenshot of the text on a screen and tap on a translation button that uses the Google lens to translate the text Uses.
Multitasking and other customization
Flex Drop - Floating Window
This seems to be a hot feature for the Android 2020 update. Essentially, some apps within ColorOS have the ability to resize and float across the screen on whatever you can.
This is called Flex Drop and you can activate it by going to the Recent Apps screen and moving the thumbnail to the Flex Drop icon, or you can drag a smart bar from the side of the home screen and launch the app from here can do.
Close Share - AirDrop for Android
Near Share is a feature that has been developed over the past few months and essentially provides a service for Android phones that is similar to Apple's AirDrop.
Using this, you can quickly send files, images, and links to other nearby phones. Anyone within its Bluetooth range can receive content instantly, without using any messaging app.
Animation and Customization
Something that is perhaps less noticeable is the work behind it. Oppo says that it has optimized a large number of animations in ColorOS 11, which makes it very smooth without a frame drop or lag. Improvements in battery life and the collaboration of Oppo phones and ways to interact with Smarthome / IoT products and weavers have also been improved.
